how low can you go???

Your center of gravity will certainly be low....

What is the seat height off the pavement going to be?

Did you make the frame?

Looks good!

Looks like a good way to rip your balls off

To each their own, that's what this is all about. But when I look at these drop seat frames all I see is a way to get your gear damaged. Hope ya don't have to stop fast.

I had the frame made outside of Detroit, its 1"' chrome molly steel tubing, stretched in the back end, 4" dropped seat, 35 deg rake and it will handle a 200 rear tire. Other than that, its just a plain old frame.

Smitty, I don't have to worry about that, the OL has already put them in an old Crown Royal bag and put them in the lower dresser drawer in our bedroom, only gets them out once in a while...I don't want to make a sudden stop on anykind of bike, much less this one...
