Snakedriver V4.2 // - Pulled the swing arm and broke the tacks in the seat stays and reoriented the ISO mount a bit more forward. Results? Much better. My eye is satisfied. Now to wrap up welding and brazing and get this one out the door to Cerakote in COBRA BLACK. This builds color scheme? “DEATH MOBILE”. - It’s also Tuesday and that means it’s Turntable Tuesday. Three 7” that are rippers from the 80’s: BUM KON, Lost Cause and the Falling Idols top the chart. Check my story for links to the albums on YouTube.. SHORT. FAST. LOUD. - #deathmobile #steelfullsuspension #snakedriver

HOT SEAT // - Got the swing arm and lower shock mount tacked today. You probably can’t see it but I’m not happy with those seat stay bends.. I’m going to break those tacks, and rotate the brake mount forward a tad more to give the caliper more clearance and that will allow me to get that look I’m after for seatstay to top tube visuals. Esoteric designer not satisfied type stuff… - #steelfullsuspension #snakedriver

Details - Few details for your Friday. Marauder Ti headed out the door to a lucky client! - #titanium

Marauder Ti - Lucky no. 85 with a special request to put an 11 somewhere on the frame with some lightning bolts. Your wish is my command! - #titaniumisreal

2-Piece Rocker - Revised 2-piece rocker for the Snakedriver project. Updates include eliminating the need for washers at the seat stay Clevis receivers, refined material removal for additional weight savings, overall narrower shape without loss of tire clearance and maximum compatibility with worst case scenario air shocks. Finally can check clearances on the swing arm and front triangle and finish up V4.2 so it’s ready for a full season of testing. Spring is shaping up nicely! - Special thanks to @thomashosford for turning my Fusion 360 files into 7075 aluminum sweetness! - #steelfullsuspension #snakedriver

NEW ROCKER ASSEMBLY - Fresh Rockers hot off the presses thanks to @thomashosford . Lots of new details and updates on these. Still a little bit of refinement and a few details to dial in but holy cow.. these were a long time coming and I’m quite pleased with the results. Time to wrap up this prototype and get things prepped for a full season of testing ahead! - *Editors Note: pictured is the finalized parts assembly +8x bearings. That’s as bare bones as I can get it with a good mix of stock hardware and minimal custom parts. - If all goes according to plan, this prototype will be as close to pre-production as it gets. - #steelfullsuspension #snakedriver
