Roadkill? Doesn't really have the effect a killing machine needs IMO.

Me thinks you should make a mini competition/poll for the best name

Thats what angle grinders are for SSB.

I forgot to check if I'd fit in the seat space

Sideshow bob · 09-27-2009, 1:23 PM

Thats a rather .....................err...................snug fit SSB.

You'll have to keep your mind on riding the bike only by the looks of that. Best you carry a shoe horn just in case.

I like people that always have a backup plan.

Westers · 09-27-2009, 6:22 PM

Nice one SSB - Have you ever welded before, 'cos that looks damn good for a novice

How'd you get all the metal cut to the same angle?

Impressive stuff.

Thanks Westers......

& no.. never even touched a welder till yesterday*
It Not brilliant, and wouldn't claim to be able to weld (yet

) but gotta say its the best £100 quid i spent... Said to loopy " it would cost me atleast that to get someone else to make a subframe up for me" & now i know i can do it, I should get better at it & bound to find other things I can use it for besides the next subframe i make

* I touched one once but he's sueing... so we don't talk about that
