That'll make a lovely trailer.

Or how about a full suss chopper? Long forks, roadie front wheel, apehanger bars, stainless swingarm mounted guard and a dual seat.
Or you could do a lowrider with the same sized wheel at both ends?

I don't see how the swing arm can swing. Tyre will bump on the seat tube.

I'm liking your rear wheel, I've nothing against your rear wheel. Unfortunately neither do you!

Will that tyre not hit the seat tube when you sit on it? I love the idea though!

Can i have a shot on the rocks at Seacliff Al?, that will be ace!,
How will the linkage deal with sand? 😀 probably ok i imagine,
I want to do the same with an old Super V frame,
There is a 100mm BB that screws onto standard BBs, not sure name but was mentioned on MTBR fatbike forum a while ago,

There is another full suss fat here in the UK;
