Robert's Mini Chopper Dimensions

[robertdjung]

Ok, folks, you've asked for it, so I've finally taken some measurements of my ol' trusty mini chopper for you all.

A) Vertical inner distance between flat supports: 4"
Horizontal inner distance between tubes: 3"

B) Between neck supports and stabilizer: 19"

Overall fork length, including handlebar risers and axle mounts: 35"

C) Horizontal between tubes: 7"

D) Length from neck connection to bottom of bend: 22"

E) From end of "D" to rear axle: 26"

F) 4" -- rake around 55 degrees (too much!)

G) Neck to "horseshoe": 27"

H) Same as "D"

I) Same as "E"

J) Inner distance: 8"

K) From bend to axle, roughly: 10"


I hope this helps out prospective builders. Granted, it's difficult to get great measurements on something that's already built, and bent! If there's anything else anyone would like to know, let me know.

yeh how nice is it to ride. after the first day of ryding my one i got bad back pains.

hah, you're getting too old, Robin!

No, it's a lot of fun. Granted, I don't do any marathon sessions. Just screwing around for a while and we all trade off.

But, like I've said about the rake, it's way too raked out. There's getting to be some bend in the forks, and I'm pretty concerned about it so I think i"ll be rebuilding them soon.

I might in fact just rebuild the whole thing from scratch. Since I've got all the parts, it's just metal cost now, and that's pretty cheap.
