davey1991 Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Looks pretty cool in a strange way, but what the f**k is with that seat angle!?The seat isn't bolted up yet its not staying like that trust me. I really thought it would look awful but its come out quite nicely.Nope no innertubes as yet, need to go buy some and some bolts for the front axle.

davey1991 Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 it has no brakes. you won't be able to stop when you get to BThis is why its built like a tank, so when i get to B i can crash into it without worry of scratching my paint.But on a serious note, i should be getting a rear Vee soon.
