Road Master Assault "Bobber"
Road Master Assault "Bobber"
I'm starting a new build out of a Road Master mtb frame "Assault". I have wanted to try and build a bobber for a long time. Nows the time..!
I started tonight.... First the chop:)
Then more cutting/shaping.. I forgot to take pics but the seat tube and bottom bracket/ bb gussets are now done also..
Time for bed my friends... I will weld it together in the morning.

Yar off to a good start, m8. Keep us posted!
Aircon is only cool when you have it and others don't. If they have it and you don't, it's crap.
Re: Road Master Assault "Bobber"
Thank you Junkman.
Im about to weld the frame together. This build did not take long at all
Heres a pic of the wheel that i made to go with this build.
Time to get welding

Re: Road Master Assault "Bobber"
looks pretty cool. i like the rim. but i hope you'll change the fork and the handlebar
... Egal - Denk an Titten!
Re: Road Master Assault "Bobber"
The frame is really nice. Looks like you mixed a dirtbike with a stretchcruiser. What about a fork with more rake? And different handlebar, please...
Re: Road Master Assault "Bobber"
Thanks guys, Im not to sure what to do with the forks and handle bars yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated..

Re: Road Master Assault "Bobber"
Some more rake .. maybe a Springefork?! ...
handlebars are difficult ... The frame has an angular shape so a moonbar wouldn't loock good... maybe you can make your own handlebar?

Re: Road Master Assault "Bobber"
What about giving the fork a bit more rake? You could cut the rear part of the fork an bend it.
Then just weld a small piece of metal to the gap and maybe add some supportbars for more stability.
My drawing skills are not the best but I think you get what I mean...
Or you could try and make your own fork-crowns like these from Retrovelo.

Those retrovelo forks are great, maybe something like that with a monark style springer?

Re: Road Master Assault "Bobber"
Yeah, that´s it! Great idea!
I´d love to see that bike with a monarkstyle springfork.
Great build so far! Go on!
