Atomic Zombie's Carnage chopper bicycle

Step 3 Hack the frame

It wasn't at all difficult to make a stylish chopper frame out of the mountain bike frame - in fact, the entire frame only needed a single cut and two welds! As you can see in Photo 3 above, the little seat tube stub was cut from the end of the frame, and a section of another mountain bike (bottom bracket and down tube) was laid in place were the suspension spring used to be. Not only does this create a low stretched frame, but it places the head tube on a perfect angle for some seriously long forks.

The bottom bracket and length of down tube can be cut from any old frame - I chose one with oversized tubing in order to keep the fat tube look. Notice how the end of the tube (opposite the bottom bracket) has been hammered somewhat flat so that it can be welded to the frame more easily.
