    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Digital chop drop seat

I was thinking about making a drop seat. May not going exactly like this but just wondering if something like this would work? or if I hit a good bump if I would get squashed in two?

maybe chop a chunk out behind where the seat will go and shorten the shock to lower the fender a bit.
 
wow I didn't think you could cut all that out and still have a frame strong enough to hold up. Down @ the bottom of that link where it shows the 2 finished bikes. Did he change the rake as well on those or just that mod makes everything laid back like that?
 
He stretched the downtubes. That'll change the rake.

Some may has seen the snappy comment I replied with but my better judgment made me change it.

Why? I like being different and that about sums it up. You must also realize that is a picture, I digital altered it, and that I found that picture on the internet so I don't even own that frame. I just simply made the seat lower. after your comment I realized yes that is very low but probably if this is something I decide to do I'd make a mock up and see if I like it. Or how I would adjust the foot position to allow that low of a ride. in any case just checking to see if doing that would be dangerous as far as the frame breaking apart on me. Everything else can be worked out later.

Here's something along the same lines for you.

The 'Y' that splits off of the backbone attaches at the middle of the tubing that connects the shock mounts to the lower part of the frame. That would seem to me it would be placing an awful lot of stress on the afore mentioned tubing, I'd be worried that that place would be a candidate for bending/cracking. Would some well-placed gusseting prevent that?
