Fair point Rob... I will go with a clamp option I reckon ... plus it will be spot on if I get a Riot :daumenhoch:
Munnyella:
Don't worry Ed, Marky fix it....
clamps is easier, but not as handsome...
Gonna be a git though, due to that odd chainstay layout.
never mind.

I would sell it on and look for a wal riot. Then get new dropouts made that support the seat stays better. :daumenhoch:

FFS Stu... thanks for the drama... ever thought of reading the news! ;D 'butchering' FFS... its not a Kappy Trickstar! 8) its a 96/97 midschool tank that I'm having fun with... HAVING FUN WITH .... FUN ... it is still a concept allowed in here a believe ;D
I got a cheap frame and some cheap parts and I'm doing what I want :daumenhoch: give a fella a break!
And lastly... a 2 hip Big Boy IS a Riot with 'dropouts made that support the seat stays better' ... so I'm ticking all the boxes :daumenhoch:

we can sort it Mark ... and lastly for any doubters ... Ron W. himself gave it the thumbs up and offered advice on how to make it work when I brought it off him... :4_17_5: :smitten: I'm listening to Ron :daumenhoch: ;D

I think you have convinced yourself it's a riot mate!!
But it isn't. I may be made by the same bloke and a similar shape. But it isn't a riot!! What you are doing is shocking mate. Yes it maybe a 96/97 frame but it is still pretty rare. And yours is mint!!! If it was an old rider then that would be different. But to do what your gonna do to a nos frame is absurd. I'm surprised no one else has piped up and told you your mad!
At least kappys mods were all brazed onto an old frame so they could be heated up and removed without any damage to the original frame. But your on about drilling holes in yours. Which quite frankly is bonkers!!! :uglystupid2: :idiot2: :idiot2: :'( :-\
Ed209=butcher!! :2funny: :LolLolLolLol: :daumenhoch:
