I am going to turn a regular 22.5 OTs into an OTP european model. I might not make it exact, but I thought I would share the project with you guys as it goes. One thing it will have is a lid bale that only the dreaded "Yohan Liefer" model has. I like the lid bales. My reason for doing this is I wanted some extras and I also want it to be a little higher. We'll just call it "The Duke"
Here's what one looks like.
Here's mine. I have already done a few mods to it and will gradually transform it. I am going to need a set of longer legs from a new 26'r. I'm just not sure how they are going to fit on there. It seems like it wouldn't fit the triangle after they are mounted. I did make a new front raised leg for it, because the larger wheels left it raked.
Please share your suggestions and if any of you have spare parts I might need like an ash catcher or thermometer please let me know.
