Step 10Welded Tall Bike
Now that everyone has a welder there are all kinds of bike mods you can do.
Here's a tallbike Star and I made at MITERS with an extra frame welded on to make a banana seat.
The handlebar/fork arrangement turned out really well. It's strong and was pretty easy to make.
It bottom handlebar/fork/thingy just shoves down into the side tubes of that motorcycle-style fork.
The seat is made by bolting a crutch handle into the rear old dropouts to keep them from crushing together, folding a nylon cushionand wrapping it onto the frame with innertubes. It's more comfortable than you'd expect. It could be an inch or so wider.
You can see that the front seat frame tube is bending, another tube brace should be welded on to triangulate that part of the frame.
