I am getting prepared to have my 78 frame hardtailed. I am wondering if there is a difference between the straight style and the loop style. Does one style provide more strength, or is it all looks? I am a bigger man, and I want to make sure the frame is done the strongest way possible. I want the bike to sit low and be long. I am thinking of at least a 4-6 inch stretch, but not sure how much drop.
I have the time to wait to have it done correctly, and the money as well. It's going to take me quite some time to do the engine rebuild, rephase, 750 big bore kit. Not to mention all the cleaning it needs. It's going to take a while!
Anyways, any frame builders out there want to chime in and talk about the integrity of doing the hardtail, and which style is best for a big guy like myself???
Cheers,
Mike
