Suicide Machine V3

what are the specs on the hardtail (stretch, ride height)?

+2 -3

Seems just about perfect!

Slowly but surely... seat and oil tank fully mounted... hard tail all buzzed up. Buddy just finished up this really nice axle for me.

Nice I wanted to get that same hardtail. Do you have any more pics?

how do you like that flyrite spool??? ive been thinking with buying one my self..

For the price I don't think the Elswick HT can be beat. Nice tig welds, nice fit and finish, and they let you choose your own specs. Awesome! I'll have some good pics in like a week when I get my forks on.

The spool is... Well a spool. Nice little booger but not really anything special about it.

Current state. Chucked up the fork legs on the lathe, cut springs (maybe a little to much), got bars on.. i think im ready to put the motor back in. F ! This is a very slow process for me. bleh

sorry for the shitty pic, its late and cold. Goodnite.

Looks awesome so far, and you have a fucking awesome name.... might be the best name in the universe!

Might have cut a bit to much out of the springs.. Gonna run heavy weight oil. Sitting on this feels very ergo friendly. Stoked

I dig the front end that low, that's about how I wanna do mine. Lookin' good! Your rear tire needs air, hahahaha

looks good so far I like it. It looks like you may have trouble with the front end. looks like it will smack against the bottom tree. What bars are those or did you make them.

Looks good. Im hooked.
By the way. did that HT come in two pieces?

Looks good. Maybe you could make up the fork height with a longer pvc spacer? Other then that, that thing looks pretty cool.

The bars were made by Anthony at Chassis Design. It's a Elswick HT, comes as a one piece, very easy to install. Accepting donations to finish this bike.

wow...this build is defiantly coming together very nicely.....i love the lines of the bike and those bars. i have a bars similar to that coming in the mail.....great looking bike.

Its been a while... but I have a nice update! Fender mounting, sissy bar, battery box, wheel spacing and sprocket spacing all done by Anthony at Chassis Design, Wompy supplied one of his killer air cleaners, brass pull start and one of his new Simpleton Clutch levers... Both those guys do killer work! Hopefully this lil SOB will be making its way to BF on its own, and not in the back of a truck!!!

First time on this thread. I really like the way this bike is turning out. Can't wait to see it finished up!

Damn this makes me want to run out and grab a Sporty..... definitely a cool stance

Lookin good.. sissy L-plate mount nicely done and Im a little jealous of that rear caliper.
