Looks like a ripper, Benji....got a nice stretch to help keep the front wheel down too!....Im thinking youre gonna need it with that 70 minn. Id be interested to see the top mount to the frame on that baby. Keep us posted how the Spree-arelli goes.
I need to find some new haters...the ones I have are starting to like me.
Thanx meatball. I'll try to post pics. The former owner welded some steel to the frame, looks ugly but seems strong. I'm going hard tail to keep the movement down. In theory it should be stronger that way I think. Almost finished with the odds n ends, should fire soon.

Pic of the mount. Not pretty but seems strong. I added the rear brace in place of a shock, it bolts in under the frame.
That front most weld looks bubblegummed on, ide have a shop go over them real quick. Ive been welding alot with these thin frames, there isnt much holding that on.
There's some burn thru on the front part, but it's not too bad and most of the stress is on the "hooped" portion. It ain't perfect but it held up under the previous guy who was a lil bigger than me. I was thinking about maybe adding some more tie-in points to the frame and bolting instead of welding, but we'll see. I'm gonna ride it a little bit and check it,ake sure it doesn't crack haha. It actually seems stiff when I sit on it and when I ride it.
