Post by: GavinDavis on March 24, 2013, 02:49 PM: I bought this about a month or so ago, couldnt refuse it as it would look awesome next to my Big Boy.

There were a couple of problems that I encountered along the way, one of those being the thread on the forks wasnt cut deep enough from new....but that was overcome and allowed me to get on with the build :)

Big thanks to a few Radsters that have helped me out with parts, much appreciated guys!! :daumenhoch:

NOS 2-Hip Stout Boy frame and forks

Im thinking of welding a bar between the two so I can do bench press without setting up any weights :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: Discostu on March 24, 2013, 07:22 PM: Looking great :daumenhoch: :smitten: :smitten:

The only thing that I'm not to sure about is the bars. The shape is good. But the tubing looks really thin against the frame tubes.
As if the frame is indestructible but the bars would bend with the lightest of landings. ???

Post by: condor96 on March 25, 2013, 12:59 PM: both are hella nice! :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

i for one am thrilled to see the 2hips getting the respect they deserve. always thought they were way cool and wondered why nobody built/restored them :-\ just a few years ago people were like "huh?" if you said early 2hip :idiot2:

im building vicariously though you. id love to build a big boy like i had back then but i know i probably will never build one.
