Re: My first c-10

Looking good

Is the frame the same width from front to back? What size tube are you using?

The frame tapers in at the front just like the stock frame. The tubing is 1.5x.120DOM

Here is a pic of the frame twist

Re: My first c-10

Thanks for the info and the additional pic. I couldn't really see the front taper in the other pics.

I really like where you're going with this build. Please keep the updates and pics coming.
