This one is a motorcycle built to look like a bicycle. I really like using the frame as an exhaust pipe. https://www.bikeexif.com/yamaha-xt250-bobber
Any of you fellas have builds that don't look so typical?

I don't see why they didn't just add pedals. I personally don't like the idea of the exhaust through the frame simply because it will vibrate alot. This could cause stress kn the frame and I thi k it would feel weird

At the time of writing it had been ridden three or four times. Nothing but a show bike.

God awful fabrication technique and safety practices displayed but I do like the creativity. Swap out the galvanized for weld on nuts, don't include slag in the welds, clean up the controls and so much more it would be a nice build. I like the mono shock in the rear, though based on the condition of the work shop and techniques used its some amazon special that is worse than a pogo stick.

Mr albert here has a ton of videos and all of them are full of what not to do when fabricating but I appreciate the ingenuity and creativity.
Was there a point to this post since you made no comment along with the link to the other forum???Blood thirsty ladies Huffy
Hah! I just couldn't resist making that reference! It's the same color as the blood thirsty Indian, but it's a Walmart Huffy. My Timberland GT mountain bike frame had multiple stress cracks in the frame. I wanted to use the front forks of the Timberland bike, so I had to take a piece of 1 -1/2...motorbicycling.com

I like the motor mounts being welded to the frame rather than clamping around a tube. Same for the tensioner although it is e entirely unnecessary with the semi horizontal dropouts Not the first and it wont be the last bike to receive a sex change.

There's this woman on youtube and she did the the inverse: instead of making a step through into step over she made a diamond frame into a mixte. Thought it was for an ebike build Shes very butch but I'm not judging. We love tomboys, don't we folks? Shes got a bunch of woodworking videos too.
At 13:15 or so you can get a good look.

My next build might be on a converted women's bike. It all depends on what my budget looks like

Rocket bikes or mouse bikes of whatever shows his dolled up hyper cruiser in this. He's very manic in good mental health and deleted his old channel during a panic attack. video

I really want to build a bike from scratch that is a replica of the 60s Honda 50cc race bikes. I would want o build it all from the ground up, including the engine.
