plans for suspended LWB?

[[email protected]]

I'll be taking a welding course in the Spring, so I will have access
to a complete welding shop. Is there any place to get plans for a
suspended LWB bent? I have only seen plans for suspended SWBs.
Thanks.

You’ll pardon our chuckling at the irony of you’re looking for SUSPENDED
LWB plans and taking a WELDING class:

Termite Taxi: http://www.angelfire.com/id/BEEP/


Groundhugger XR-2 http://www.rqriley.com/xr2.html


You could adapt these to metal if you don’t want to go with wood or
carbon fiber. The Groundhugger XR-1 was an unsuspended steel bent. You
should be able to adapt the suspension from SWB metal bent plans to
longwheelbase metal hardtail plans as another alternative.

Or maybe this one;

you'd rather forego the welding and cough-up a bit of plastic. Since
he's a close friend of mine.... maybe he'll consider sharing some
numbers with ya.

I don't why I neglected these links. Although not an "active" design, I
certainly is a "no brainer" build, especially if the right MTB frame can
be located.
