Each one of my turds is one of a kind. Ya' want one? I'll even frame
it! ;)
Hey, just yankin' your chain, but I see your point. The problem with
this particular effort is it's a complete waste of the stock frame.
Have you ever looked closely at an R60/2 frame. They're perfect for
making a chopper. They retain the classic rigid frame profile with
full swingarm function, this some 40+ years before HD came out with
the softail. Somewhere I have a 35 year old magazine picture of a
candy apple red R60/2 that's been stripped down and minimalized,
digger/chopper style, with a none-extended Brit front-end. To this
day it's still one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen. If I
can find it, I'll scan and post it.

Better, but not good enough.

Then will you be the adoptee? Else, 10 days and it gets
euthenized. Lately there's been too many OCC strays running
around my neighborhood.
