Cuttin' everyone in on the latest custom Savage rigid being fabricated for Austin Singer out of California.
Austin will be the first to test-ride the prototype mono-shock solo seat configuration we've been working on.
Attached are some pics...
Sorry for the large images!!!

Ah, I read it wrong. I thought it was going to be a monoshock frame, not a monoshock seat on a rigid.
But it looks like a very cool project anyway.

Looking at the drawings again... Are you not going to use a cylinder head-to-frame bracket?

Thank you for the comments! Right now I'm using AutoCAD and Rhino 3-d as engineering platforms. I sometimes render the drawings in Cinema4D though...

The last four Savages I've fabricated did NOT have the head brackets installed. Nor the de-comp! (I'm sure I'll get some replies on THAT one!!!

Thought I'd throw in some updated photos of the mono-shock seat pan configuration...
Here is the seat pan freshly being CNC cut from 10ga steel...
Measurements down the middle...
Fastened to the table and ready to bend...
Bending on marks...
Verifying the curvature fit...
Welded and ready to go...
Kind of looks good all by itself!
With the LaRosa custom seat installed...

This is by far one of the coolest things I've seen on this site! I have been all over the internets and there are custom hard tail frames available for nearly every bike (that I don't own or like) and now you guys come along and are offering a rigid frame for the savage! Can't wait till I talk the wife into letting me get my hands on one of these. Keep up the good work.

What's the rough cost of a frame like this?

I like the welding fixture, looks like an in house fabrication, simple and efficient. It gets the rear axle and the steering axis in alignment. Are those tapered cones inserted into the steering head to keep it secure and centered? I noticed there is no adjustment for the width of the lower frame. Do you build everything the same width, use different fixtures, or use spacers to make narrower frames? I am really enjoying this project, thanks for the pictures.
I am thinking of cutting the steering neck on my S40 and decreasing the rake angle to about 28 degrees. Since it would be a "one off" job I wouldn't want to build a fixture to do it. I am looking for ideas on how to keep the steering head aligned in the vertical plane of the frame. I was thinking of clamping the frame to a pallet or something, drawing some centerlines and using a plumb bob.
