It's here, it's here!  Replacing the cracked frame on the original Rocket took a bit longer than originally anticipated, but, finally...
 

 
This is a bit of a "one of a kind" machine, thanks to some personal touches by Jerrell at RANS... he felt bad about the frame crack.  
 
1 - the frame is unpainted, polished bare aluminum.  A pretty cool look, if you ask me -- although it's gonna be a job keeping fingerprints off of it!!!    And if I ever do decide to get it painted, we can strip it and do it easily.
 
2 -- the rear brake is a V-brake, not disc.  I told him that I would probably never put a 20" on the rear, and that interchangeability was one reason they went with disc brakes on production.  Jerrell added the brake mounts and brake.
 
3 -- the crossover idler is now a TerraCycle clamp-on idler, and the old center idler bracket is gone, removing the weld stress point in the middle of the frame.  This is a change to production, on both Rocket and Rifle.
 
Thanks to John Paulus for doing the component swapout from the prior machine...
 

 

 

 
A little shoutout to John.... although I may ask him to put another sticker on, straighter...  
 

 

Sharp looking!! From the right angle in the sun that thing is going to sparkle.

Ditto!

Bring it back by the shop and I will put the sticker on straight.
