i personally have always liked hardtails, just that rigid frame look. But ive seen those brats and i really like those aswell. but, i have no idea how to get the brat look/swing arm except i did read about extending swingarms. well im just asking for info on both, which one is better on a budget build? and if anyone has any how-to's on making a brat like the 2 i posted, post the link. let the opinions roll!
