Zoöid Third Times a Charm CB175

Re: Third Times a Charm CB175

Zeke named this bike Zoöid because of the trapezoids he milled into the front hub and since we are zoomerz their is a Zoo in Zoöid. It also has a cool meaning if you care to look it up. So Bryan sent Zeke some sketches with trapezoids in the design.

Pat, You will end up in trouble for child abuse keeping him working so late ....................... ;-)
Just want you to know he worked 80 hours in 5 days lol and he said "that was the best vacation ever!!!!" Lol I guess when you love to do something time doesn't matter.

The first thing they decided was to remove the rear of the frame and narrow the center of the frame we braced the swing arm that we had stretched earlier

I was assigned to take the forks apart so we could also cut and lowered the front fork tubes

8pm on Monday evening we were gazing at this hole sitting on the couch looking for the muse and Bryan said where is that shock?

Re: Third Times a Charm CB175

Foxy shocks in place...notice the trapezoids. Bryan took a steel round bar tapped it for the shocks and then drilled the frame for installation.
