okay, so i figure when it comes to bikes things are probably proportionally complicated to cars when it comes to building and such, but lets venture anyhow....
i have been wanting a sporty chop for some time now, and after seeing the el cheapo and polock joe's and a couple others i have to have one. so lets talk getting from here to there....
of course the best bet is to buy one already done, but i usually have better luck sniffing out deals than growing cash. so i'm going on the premise that i can get ahold of a nice early sporty for cheap...
so i dig up a paughco rigid frame and i have a donor...how much actual stuff from the donor (except for asthetic stuff like tin, wheels, etc.) can i use? and how much 'stuff' am i looking at doing to get it together? i'm sure its more than just unbolting from one and rebolting to the other...
or i decide to use a weld on hard tail...how much modding am i looking at to get it together...
just looking for general input. if its any easier than building these blasted cars, i might just sell the farm and start building bikes....anyone want a 60 chevy or a t bucket??
any input is appreciated guys. thanks.
