Since about January I’ve been working on a wide tire build running a jackshaft, a foot clutch AND a hand clutch, with a jockey/tank style shifter. This bike was not running when I bought it for $400 and it was in rough shape. Short of making the tank and forward controls, I either fabricated or customized everything from scratch. I made every tab I needed, I modified my own worm gear for the foot clutch, I fabricated the entire jockey shift assembly, I took a TC Bros hardtail and literally chopped it in half to widen it for a 200mm tire, I painted and pinstriped/silver leafed it myself....etc....etc. I really challenged myself and did a lot of things I never did before. I’m at the stage where the bike is ready to be put back together and finished. Here’s my build and I’ll update the rest as I go....
