Default drop seat frame project

Here's a drop seat project I'm working on for a friend...thought I'd share a couple pics.

It's a fun little project. Has a 240 rear tire. Although, I think that the tire looks a bit big because of the skinny 21 up front.

Thanks,

All I've been able to do to it recently is mount the fender.

I tried to use this one I had already but it only fits a 200 tire



So I cut this one up & made mounts like the fender in the last pic. I still need to clean up the edges but it works.
