I believe this has been mentioned on out forum before.

I also believe they can be made out of $500 Chinese CRF50 clones...

Those are pretty cool, wouldn't mind one for ripping around town

That looks like a great idea. You wouldn't even a donar bike. Engines, seats and tanks are easily found on ebay.

That bike is a very cool idea!

Thanks for sharing the link, Doc.

I've seen those before, and I think they're a neat idea. The frame isn't as custom as the article implies; it's merely a CRF50 (or clone) frame with a MTB stem welded on. The only trick would be setting up a jig so you can weld it nice and straight.

Sounds right up your alley, Weld!

The ad was deleted before I saw it, but I could double my money without even blinking.
