	Take one of these Chop at 1 and shorten, Bend and maybe lengthen at 2 then increse bend on the forks and lengthen at 3. Then maybe bob the guards, shorten that cranks and maybe re-jig the little rack on the back Night one Remove forks and bend Chop and lengthen Thats more like it! Night two Forget to take pics, do as above and end up with this Hell yeh! Biggest rule of them all is don't listen to all the people telling you it wont work or it will be hard to ride because quite frankly they are talking balderdash!

	I like the bikes coming out now. I take it the bike cant go lower because of pedal/ ground clearance? tigerskin seat ftw.

	As with Seths bike, I love these bikes. You guys rock !! I need to get a welder, then I want to collect some frames from the skip, and create a doubly articulated bike, with steering headstock in front of the seats downpipe, and on the front as regular.

	After seeing the level of work on "that" metro, I am sure that once this is finish it will look awesome. What the plan for the colour scheme and accessories?

	Access to the bender is the biggest problem, unless you know someone.

	This is awesome. Would you not have to make a custom seat post though due to the riding position??
