Building a bike

[wannab20hatch]

Im thinking about building my own chopper/cruiser. Im gonna order the frame and then make the tank and fenders myself. I was wondering if anyone knew of a site where i can get measurements at. Like the rake/stretch and all that so that i can order the exact frame i want.

I hope you have a lot of tools, free time, and know how. I'm not saying that you don't but I know first hand that that shit aint easy, and I've been welding and metal working for while now. As far as the measurements go I don't know of a sight. But the way I would go about it is to find a pic of a bike that I like the rake and stretch order a frame like that and measure for your front legs(forks I mean).

I dont plan to build the bike in less than month or anything its just something i wanna work on in my spare time. Ive done paint,body and fabrication ever since i was a little kid so im ready to take it on.

I wish I had the skills to build me a bike, that would be cool, to be able to say you built it. But I don't know how to do shit! Wait, that's not true, I know how to pay some body to to shit for me, yeah, see I'm not a loser after all!

If you feel you can take on the project, go for it, I'm sure it will be very rewarding at the end, good luck. If you need any help, like holding something while you bang on it or something, let me know.

ooh im still getting a new street bike eli. this is just for me to mess around with in my new garage :). Plus it gives me a reason to go to home depot and spend money on tools.
