A interesting looking frame

[Mountainman]

Well it just shows pictures can be deceiving.

I could fit a harley twin in there with room to spare.

In fact it is stupidly big, I mean how big are people from Tijuana?

I am 6 foot tall and the frame is huge for even me. I couldnt even straddle the frame, let alone sit on the seat.


If the bike was a normal size it would be good. Has disks front and rear, it also has the mounts for normal brakes on the frame. So I could switch the back disk setup for a normal pull setup and use the disk mount for a sprocket.

But having a bike I have to lean at 45 degrees just to straddle when not moving is silly.

that's funny -- how big are those people from Tijuana ??
I live just across the border from Tijuana --
most are not that big ---
making it easier for them to jump the fence into the US
and if riding a MB
they would perfer a very light small frame
so as to avoid detection !!

and as we say -- Ride That Thing _ Mountainman

i really like that Mexicali also . love that seat and the long frame , could do without the flames . and would try to get a three speed internal for the rear hub . i emailed to see if they would ship to Oregon . i would just take a bare frame do the rest myself . the price looks good . i would get rid of the one piece crank . all i want is the frame , i like all those spokes but would sacrifice that for other more important things

thats why i would want just a bare frame with front forks , in the pics of the mexicali it shows a one piece crank . shippimg would be cheaper . im looking for a less expensve frame but still has the long body like the electra townie . http://s480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/thescooterguy/?action=view&current=townie2006.jpg i love this frame style . feet always touch the ground , its just to spendy .
