Digital's Rigid 2001 Part 1
Pickin' Up The Pieces (Continued)

By Digital


The above photo details the back end of the Atlas Precision 'Roadrunner' frame. Attached is a 9" wide stubby fender, also supplied by Atlas. Both the fender and the frame are designed to handle 200 mm meat. We'll be using a 180 for the project.

Since wide tire aftermarket frames require special fenders, you have to be careful to select the proper width fender and fender struts because stock fenders don't often fit, even if you run a stock tire.

The Atlas Seat pictured above is by Danny Gray, built specially for Atlas to fit their frames. It's pretty bare bones, but fits the 'Roadrunner' like a glove. This seat also came with an optional pillon pad. I got it so the wife could tag along. I have a feeling, it'll get used only once. A note about the seat maker. Danny uses all European leather to make his seats. He does this for a good reason. Since European cattle ranchers don't use barbed wire, the cattle don't get any scars. This means, you get a seat without any irregularities in the leather.

See the open BDL drive in the box? Stop drooling - it's mine! We'll be putting one together in detail for you.

In addition, we've got a LOT of Joker components for the project including the hand controls, wheels, pulley's brake rotors, etc. We'll detail ALL of the goodies when we pull them outta the box and mount them to the bike.

Stay tuned boys and girls. When Oz gets me the engine, we'll really start to rock and roll!
