	hi everyone, after doing some trials on my friends ty80 I decided to star a new trial bike project. it is giong to use a honda cub engine, and quite alot of cb125 running gear. today at my weekend job (at the local metalworks) I started the engine cradle. as you can see in the pictures there are two 45 degree ends. these we be welded to two piecs bent up at 45 degrees to go either side of the cub engines' head and join up to the downtube. this is my progress so far

	Well I'm at work tommorow, so i am hoping to finish the engine cradle. ive decided to use a ticker tubing for the down tube and top tube, and for the rest i will use the same o.d tubing as what ive already used, but with a thicker wall. So check up tommorow evening to see the proggress!

	Well, yesterday I made some more progress with the frame. The bends will go around the head, and should protect the engine quite well. My rubbish photography makes it look like the bends arent 90 degrees, but they are

	This is the engine that i will be using. Yes, its a chinese copy of a cub engine, but with 125cc and a 4 speed manual box it should go quite well

	Those chinese 4 strokers are really nice engines, especially with 100+cc. They act like electric motors, torque starts at 50 rpm Is this going to be a sort of mini trial bike? The frame looks tiny (and good!) in the pics.

	bailey-thanks for the offer, but i don't really have space for another whole bike jonkheer- the torque sounds good to me! actually, its full size, and has a longer wheelbase than my cg125!

	post count? yeah it should be interesting, but the plans in my head really, so well see how it turns out., just google gas gas 250, and imagine that but with old bultace mudguards . the tank is actually going to be inside the triangle gap where the top tube and down tube meet at the top. i should work ok, because the engine is completely flat.
