Drop seat hardtail frame, turn signals from auto parts store, oil can/electrical box is a sugar tin I picked up from Target for $10 and you'd never know it, made the solo seat, a little elbow grease and she was built in 3 weeks every night after work with no more than $1,400. There's a better picture in the gallery with a white background.

NICE, WELL DONE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SHOW EVERYONE ELSE WHAT THE LINES SHOULD LOOK LIKE. I just cant stand those weld on hard tails with the freaking 80 degree tail, they look like clown bikes, YOU NAILED IT. I wouldn't even call that a drop seat I would call it a hard tail with the proper angles. An extra biscuit for you with real butter

Forgot to ask you what kind of hard tail is that? did you make it up yourself??? and the sugar thing is right on I'm always scanning everywhere from the grocery store to the hardware store for possible parts

Thanks. I stripped and cut the tail section off the frame on a Sunday night, took the frame to KoolKraft here in Indianapolis and they had it ready to pick up that Friday. Jeromy was great to work with and does nice work. He sells the hardtail on E-bay for a great price.

Ardcore is a different company. The place I got my hardtail from is called Kool Kraft and the guy's name is Jeromy Hagemier. His website is: www.kool-kraft.com/
