I'm sure it's been done before but I was thinking of trying to build the heaviest bike I can. From decent brands, no catalogue crap. The idea came about after seeing that mongoose at MK.
Any ideas on nasty, heavy, ugly or nice stuff would be good.
What was the heaviest frame built? Standard? DK SOB? Heavy tools standard copy? War pig?
LMK what you think are the heavy weights.

My heavy tools ruler is built up and feels well under 30lbs, even took it for a lap at MK and got a manual out of it!! So knock that off your list of heavy beasts

Hoffman Deebo _ weighs in at 15KG/33LB

As Dan says, 2hip Pork, in cromo is about 8.5 pounds, you could run some xposure `ox' bars, about 5.5 pounds!

chuck some old forks up it, you're at 20 pounds before sneezing!!

Can't believe I forgot the "pork". I am on a budget though so will have to see what I can find at a reasonable price.
Aiming for over 50lb if I do it.

My zone was a 40lb er in original form. I think it has steel based air in the tubes. :-D

the heaviest bike i ever had was my 1994 standard lengthy frame with gsport prong forks, gsport hubs laced to alex supra e rims, 6 piece strip bars, primo super tender izers, hand grenade style pegs made by my mate but a beefed up version and to stop it being too heavy i had a set of redline 401s on it. my young nephew was round my house one day and knocked into my bike making it fall on him. it broke his leg. thinking about it, i still have almost everything lying in my shed.

Think I might try and build something cheap for the bunnyhop comp at MK next year. 40lb plus

Mdbh · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2012, 08:51 AM »

Who won that? And how high?

sparkysx · « **Reply #15 on:** August 22, 2012, 08:09 PM »

I saw the Alloy one and the steel one together at MK, when Harris handed me the Alloy one I didn't realsie it was alloy and was well shocked at how much it weighed! (light)

OrgasmDonor · « **Reply #16 on:** August 22, 2012, 08:27 PM »

that pork is hellish

Munnyella · « **Reply #17 on:** August 22, 2012, 08:55 PM »

I bought the steel pork from Shiners, and the ally one from Dan Harris within 3 minutes, I was riding my steel pork, with an unbalanced load of ham!

I didn't really want another steel one, but nos/shop soiled for £20, I could'nt resist. luckiy, for my suspension, Dordy took it at cost, but I did spend an uneven night in the caravan due to the weight!!!

Not sure what i'm doing with the ally one yet, as I love the look of my NOS (when built) steel one, managed to get the complete bike sub 30lb, so with the ally frame, should be around 27lb!!!

Thinking I may just re powder in a vanilla ice cream colour and build as is.....

thoughts?

RAW is LUSH, don't paint it.

sparkysx · « **Reply #19 on:** August 22, 2012, 09:11 PM »

Think I was there when you bought it off Harris.

gary67 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 22, 2012, 09:20 PM »

Keep it raw

fugazi · « **Reply #21 on:** August 23, 2012, 09:38 AM »

Munny, the alloy Pork You got off Dan, was it Yellow? If so that was originally My old frame I had 13 odd years ago!

neckbrace · « **Reply #22 on:** August 23, 2012, 10:39 AM »

The porks are nice (in a chubby kind of way

).
I've just done a deal on Nomads STA so will certainly have a heavy bike. As for parts, it has some on and we'll see what comes along. And I'll get to use some of my Dave Young "Blackheart"bars

.
I need some forks for it though if there's any about? Cheap mind as I'm on a strict budget.

neckbrace · « **Reply #23 on:** August 23, 2012, 10:41 AM »

Just looking at that raw pork again. Lovely

Munnyella · « **Reply #24 on:** August 23, 2012, 10:56 AM »

I'm not painting the raw steel one, that will stay as is.

The yellow ally one from Dan Harris (ex Fugazi) is getting the re finish. Its looking a bit tired and yellow isn't my colour!!!
