Long time lurker here. I've gotten loads of inspiration from other folks' builds, so I figured it was about time to start posting my own stuff.
First off, a little about me - I like small bikes. Mopeds, little hondas, hell even a scooter once in a while. I've got nothing against larger machines, but for now I'm content going slow and looking ridiculous while doing so.
A few years ago I really wanted to build myself a nice little trail 90. I scoured craigslist until I found a parts lot of about 2-1/2 bikes.
From the 2 rollers, I pieced together a sweet little 140cc screamer in about 3 months.
For more on that bike you can check it out here
That bike was fun as hell to build, and even more fun to ride, but that's not what this thread is about... This thread is about the 1/2 bike I got in the craigslist sale. Ok, it was TWO halves of a '66 trail 90 frame. Litterally, someone cut the damn thing in half. For what reason, I don't know. I stared at those pieces of bike until one day, the inevitable mock-up happened.
