Yea, so we finally have a rideable bike!! Here are some specs:
- 10 feet long exactly
- NICE cushy seat
- Built with 1.5 inch, .095 wall tubing and my MillerMatic 100v welder
- Forks are 5 foot, four inches, fork ends to handlebars is exactly 6 feet
- Chain ended up being 7 feet long, 3.5 each way lol
- It is going O.D. green and black, making it Army style
- It is harder than **** to steer

Riding it around today bent the forks a bit, so I am going to add a 1/4" plate to the top of them where the GOOD tubing meets the old, regular forks. Other than that, this bike has given me no guff. Enjoy, I'll post more pics when it's painted and stuff :).

Probably because no one is sitting on it in the pics, lol.
