nice chopper. gnu, I don't think you should use those pedals, I heard one guy died from using them, I can take them off your hands for $30.

Cool, I got questions:

Where did you get the tubing?
What are the specs on it?
What type of welding are you doing?
Are you using a tube bender? Store bought or home made?

Jeezus Gnu, maybe you should just have em red anodized now so that the blood won't show!

[gnurider1080]

or i could just get them red the natural way! :o
i think im gonna need some thicker shinguards.

[Quo Fan]

I'd get the ones that wrap all the way around your leg, because you don't want your calf torn up by those puppies.

[gnurider1080]

yup im looking at some dianese. and i think im getting some rock gardn elbow pads because the fox 911s are pretty uncomfortable.
dawgee, i cant wait to see what you chopper is gonna look like built up.

Ok Dan here we go. Its mild steel tubing. Mostly .093 wall. Im MIG welding it. The tubing bender i bought from JD Squared. I bought the tubing at Northeast Race Car in Smithfield RI. I use to race and built my own cars/trucks rollcages. I use the same type of tubing because its easy to get ,weld and fairly cheap. Where do you live Dan? maybe you could come check out what im doing some night.

[gnurider1080]

is that the position that the frame is gonna be in when riding or is the frame tilted backwards a little bit in the picture? if thats how youll ride it that is one slack headtube angle.

[Dawgee]

its tipped back alittle. the top tube will be level. i wanted to rake the front out more then my first chopper. im using a 16" front wheel and a 20" rear

Hey Gnu, May I suggest you try one of those chain mail shark suits. I know I'd need it. Scott
