down low in chopperville

Gonna go to the junkyard tomorrow to pick up some springs so I can cut them down and finally get my front down to the level it needs to be at. probably going to to go with a 2" drop....we'll see how it turns out.

Started work on a chopper style bicycle. It originally was an old, rusty two person bike from JCPenny. Got a lot done with it today. Stripped it mostly down to the frame, then modified the rear seat post so that the seat sits right above the tire...which is actually a problem, as the seat squats down into the tire preventing it form turning when you sit. I had to add some bracing to prevent the frame from buckling under the weight of a rider. Gonna have to remove the rear pedals, they hit the ground for some reason, I think U bent the frame during the testing before I added the braces, whoops....lol. The seating position is a little odd, but still cool, hope to get it done soon. Wonder how I should paint it? Hmmmm...
