Finished my chopper bicycle....

...just in time for a show. In the last few weeks I painted it and collected the rest of the needed parts. Tonight I painted the handlebars and finished recovering the seat. It's the first time I worked with spray glue and I'm surprised I didn't fuck it up too bad. I do need to change the cranks as they are short.

First pic is from a while back when I was making the frame, the second pic is the paint drying and the third is finally assembled.

 

Purp,

The bike looks pretty cool, but that "finished" photo is the worst photo ever.

A little light and uncluttered background would go a long way.

 

I'll have a better pic in the daylight from the show. I had just finished it and took the pic in front of my apt. The kid i nme couldn't wait.

 

Looks good to me.

Very cool Purple.

 

That was hiding in there? How about that.

Next it needs a bobbed rear fender, some Schwinn apehangers, and a headlight.

 

cool looking bike. how did you make the front forks?

 

Awesome, it as a nice line to it. You need to pull those reflectors off of the wheels though! No self respecting chopper runs safety equipment...


Here's my scooter, figured you'd like the color....

 

I have a lot of bikes, different stuff on them. I decided to use the straight bars for this one, it is the original ones for the what this bike was. It started life as a 24" girls Huffy mountain bike.

One of my next builds will have the most heavily coveted Rams Horn handlebars, 3 speed Shimano stick, lowrider springer 26" forks and Stingray suspension sissy bar. That's what I have for it so far.

Another planned bike is to style one like an old board track motorcycle, 'cept with brakes.

 

I didn't realize those wheels still had reflectors! I took those wheels, sprocket and crank off a cheap Walmart bike. (The Rock It, $35) It's cheaper than buying the parts separately.

 

kool looking bike...

 

my old bike i built

black flake frame.

pedals had about an inch of ground clearance.

 

Looks like great minds think alike, gotta love those long front ends!

Built this for my 7 year old.

 

maybe this will work better...



yep.

 

Cool, bikes are fun. Here is my first all original custom frame design. I call it the Pedsled...just took it for it's maiden voyage around the block to test it out...still don't have brakes but I'm putting those on tomorrow. It's a blast!
Some good looking bikes on here!

 

I'd say it definately needs new tires, and wheel fenders.

 

Here is my chopper bike. I put it together a couple of years ago. I ride this thing everywhere with my kids and camping too!

This is my first frame I welded, but I did another frame years ago. I haven't finished that bike because I want to make a one piece fiberglass rear fender and seat. I just haven't come up with a final design, or use glass ever. I've got many other bikes to deal with, but I wanted to slap this together to ride. That's why the tires and stuff are what they are. Slap it together and ride man. Here's part of my bikes:

1) Wife's new Huffy
2) 10 speed cruiser (Fat Lucky did the seat and my buddy Eric Olsen Motor Sports made the front brake bracket)
3) Dyno
4) '60 24" Schwinn Toranado
5) The other chopper project, was a 24" Western Flyer
6) Riviera, Stingray wanna-be
7) Schwinn Racer
8) I don't remember what this is
