This is my second build off and the second time the weather has screwed me for taking pics. ![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The bike is named after Cyrus Grissom who was the bad guy in the movie Con Air. It started out as two girl's Schwinn Varsities and a girls Rollfast, along with some various tubing, plate, and sheet metal.
I wanted fat rear tires, I found some hubs and rims for a Jr. Dragster and mounted some lawn tractor tires on them. Then a 20" 1.40 tire on a billet wheel completed the wheel tire combo. A 30" triple tree fork, some motorcyle handle bars and risers were used on the front. It has disc brakes all the way around, the front using a locking lever for a parking brake, and a dual lever for the rear.
The tank is sheetmetal (and my first attempt at making a tank), the fenders are trailer fenders that have been widened and reshaped along with 3/8 tube mounting brackets. The seat has been lengthened 5", and upholtered in a snakeskin pattered vinyl be my friend Kyle (Thanks Bud!!!!)
Paint is HOK Limetime pearl base, Didspade silver micro flake, Kustom Shop Lime candy, and Tampco clear. The graphics are a white base true fire overlayed in candy colors, Blue Veriegated gold leaf, with more Lime candy, and Lime pinstriping finishes it off.
