RADICAL! I’ve always wanted to modify an old frame into a pursuit and put fork ends on it. A person could shorten the stays while they put in the fork ends too, to suck in the rear wheel. (Not sure if that’s what you did or not.)

Thanks for the comments! Don’t now if it deserves the rating though, Its a freak bike.
@ Wes. I might change the stem, this is just one from my parts bin. Drops would make the seat to drop crazy so i think i’m sticking with the risers..
@ Virgil. The chain stays are shortened a bit to suck the wheel in, so are the fork legs. There’s only millimeters between the chain stay bridge and the fork crown.
@ Ng. It rides really well, feels light and nippy. i’m actually a bit surprised myself.
The shortened fork makes it a bit harsh if you ride on anything but asphalt though..
Cool thing is that i got two sets of track ends left, now i just need to find donor frames..

this is where its at. people starting to build their own frames and do what they want. love the whole build. the risers look perfect on it.

modifiying an existing frame by chop and ploping the tubes that are already there is hardly “building your own frame” but experimenting is loaudable and trusting those welds is cool. Interesting result,needs finishing(paint,ect).enjoy
