Well, as you can see now Ive got a veteran Triumph frame off TardMe
Lets now see about modifying it to fit the fire extinguisher petrol tank & then sort out the fork options
Springers? Girders? Rigid? Hmmmmmmm
Am leaning towards making a set of springers at the moment

So so totally get a set of leaf springs welded up to be the front forks. Would not be great in terms of suspension but would look awesome

I found this site http://www.carbibles.com/suspension_bible_bikes.html
I think some of it looks to complex probably to many layers (if that makes sense)
But then if its not complicated enough it could keep bouncing after a bump.

but they also had a bicycle look about them too
