I thought it'd be cool to have a bike like an XtraCycle, so I set about to make one. Mine is more in the spirit of Chunk 666, but I think it'll get the job done. I plan to make some custom oversize racks, and mount four homemade versions of the Cobbworks Bucket Pannier. That, or a really long banana seat...and maybe a chopper fork! ;) |

The design-plan for the bike
involves cutting off the rear triangle of a MTB frame, and
lengthening the chain- and seat-stays with bits from
another frame (in this case, parts of a Bianchi Volpe
frame, generously destroyed by friend Erik, who has a
propensity for bending forks, headtubes, and
downtubes)--those are the green bits you see in the photo. I need to add a seatstay
bridge--those long stays flex outward when you apply the rear brake!
