I really like the frame. You build that?
I don't like rigid, generally, but your seat does provide some protection.
It LOOKS like it would dump a guy on the fender,tho.
And, no matter how Good it looks for the front wheel to just be naked, I couldn't ride with no fender. I've been blasted in the chin with sand and grit even With a fender, and I can't imagine what a rainy day ride would be..
I've always wondered how a rigid handles.. but, if a guy isn't looking for peg dragging thrills and rides like the guys who cruise their Low Riders drive, then it doesn't matter..

I Almost "Rode the Dragon" yesterday.. I didn't, tho, it looked a little cramped for a guy my size and cost 3 tokens.. I let my grandson ride that rollercoaster..

How big Is the tank 2gal? or 1.5? And I will also ask, what is the frame from? self build or one from a kit? and was it tuff to adapt the engine to it? Oh.... that is a sweet build by the way, I like it!

Although I agree with JOG, I as much as I would love to ogle it, it wouldn't be my choice to ride as set up.

Good looking bike though. http://www.voodoovintage.com/frames.html

Hey guys, it is a voodoo vintage frame. The ride is a bit rough considering it's a rigid frame and the monoshock doesn't do as much as I'd like it to, eventually I'll try out some other shocks. I tend to avoid major highways and scout out smooth roads here in the d.c area. I believe the tank is 2 gal., it's the same p-nut tank just about every aftermarket bike store has. I'm going to try and finish up the new seat this week and get some updated pictures here.
