All I have to do now is make the cable housing longer since I put the tweener style bars on and I'm gonna ride tomorrow with the Clowns if it doesn'r rain. I have being riding up and down the street.I've put about three miles on it so far. I had a person ask me about the Heel Strike, I said nope been riding a similar bike so I know what to do keep from that happeniong.

Tom Nuchols rbent member Posts: 65	Re: New Homebuilt High Racer Reply #8 - Aug 7^th, 2009, 4:04pm What kind of welder are you using? I though I was making a good deal when on craiglist I found a Harbor freight mig welder of a hundred dollars. There nothing smooth about the way this thing welds. My brother in law who make a living with wire welders could not make the thing work.

Tom Nuchols rbent member Posts: 65	Re: New Homebuilt High Racer Reply #12 - Aug 8^th, 2009, 6:31am Thomas Thank you for the infromation. You made quit an adjustment from a maurader to a high racer. It looks very much like the high roller I am trying to build. I plan to go over to Louisiana this week end to try my brother in laws heavy duty Lincoln mig welder. Maybe I will be able to improove the welds on my frame. Tom

I'm currently building a Maurader 2 for my son. It's so cool, but too short for me. I'm considering one for me, but it will have to be about 5-8 inches longer...my sons is already 81 inches axle to axel!!!

Maybe I'll convert to a hi or mid racer. Might even just build a second Delta Wolf that I can add a fairing and motor....so many chices.

And I have this really cool carbon seat to start off with!
