Nice.

You need to post on the Atomic Zombie site too. This is exactly the thing many are looking for, myself included.

You'll have to get in line behind my kids: Maruader 2, then a Street Fighter, then something for the little one and one for my wife.

Then you, Greg. :o

I have a cutting torch, a buzz box, and a whole lotta time on my hands, if you have the materials.

Hey Thomas: How did you bend the tube and what kind of tube is it? I need details. I'm looking at a High Roller or maybe a mid-racer. Might even work for a Maruader...sent you a PM with my number.

Thomas,

I see you found the guy that bends tubing. Looks good. Does that tranny in the background go on the bike? ;)

So Greg, do you need to borrow my book for Opus to build a Delta Wolf?

So Thomas, how's the build coming?

Got it on the ground with kick stand, now working on seat setup and steering setup.Also the boom fastener. This bike is a whole lot lighter than my Square High Racer.

I'd love to borrow the book, but Thomas seems to have all the tubing, so I'm working on convincing him to build it for me :)

Alright, we need to get together and work this out. I've built a DW (shortened for my kids, so you can't really try it out) and it was my first build. I'm almost finished with a Marauder 2 (rear suspension) and will begin either a Street Fighter or the new Warrior soon. Both of those will be full sized.

In the mean time you are welcome to come to the house and check out the progress, and maybe we can work something out. The steel supplier where I get my square tubing only goes down to 14 gauge (I need to find 16) but my kids have no problem peddling the Wolf around, even my 6 YO-now that she can reach the peddles! I really enjoy the building process, but I also have two jobs, and several volunteer things that I do so my time (and $$) is limited. The second job will either end soon or be cut back (voluntarily)-I haven’t decided which yet. Never the less I should have some more time soon, maybe by the end of September.

If anyone wants to see the builds live, shoot me a PM and we’ll set something up. Maybe we’ll try and make a family friendly ride sometime if there is one out there. Anyone know of such a ride? (Family friendly in this case means fairly short-I have 4 little ones). [smiley=runover.gif] [smiley=runover.gif] [smiley=runover.gif] [smiley=runover.gif]
