Deathtrap
Is there a law against unintentional vehicular suicide? Oh well, if nothing else, the owner might win a Darwin award.............
Is that brake rotor painted black?
Yeah, but no biggie when there's no caliper attached.............
Dimitri- It's lowered 4 1/2" in the front, and 2 1/2" in the rear. Springs are cut 3" with spacers added, and then brought the tubes through the trees another 1 1/2".
Yes the rotor got some over spray on it when painting the wheel, which will come right off when the caliper goes back on. Waiting for my new line.
It's not nearly as low as a lot of bikes on the road, so I fail to see how it's a 'death trap.' It handles really well and still goes over huge bumps/pot holes just fine.
Over the winter it will be getting a hardtail and coming down another ~2" in the back. Will be able to get rid of the ratty seat, and gross pipes too. Everything will get stripped and painted for real.
I've ridden the "deathtrap" a good 1,000 miles that low so far and everything has been fine. Even on #$%*ty Pennsylvania roads.
