I'm using that to hold the driveway down at the moment. I rescued it from the crusher a few years ago, all I've done so far is swap out the suspension to '79 camaro front and rear, and it has a '71 buick 350. Was gonna chop it 4", haven't developed the jewels for that yet.

had some spare time today post-xmas and did some work on my Hercules, a la Amsterdam. Dug out an old dynamo, it works! Added a chain guard, had some really cool clear (amber) cable housings. The thing that sucks is, it fell over and busted my sturmey grip shifter, so I gotta make do with the...

my first rat, a few years ago, oh well, here it is again I have canabalized the cranks and headset for a denmark I'm building, still got the frame and forks, may make into a recumbant chopper?

that'd be cool with wooden crutch too! and do the seat up in a cast.

sweet. I'm gonna do somethin like that someday

or tank mount the speedo in the middle of the top tube of the frame, like a bobber, might be tricky though one thing I haven't seen yet is a Captain America chopper, like Easy Rider. I recall my cousin having an Evil Kneivel Bike back in the seventies, it was red white and blue, cool

Finally got motivated on the Hercules today. My wife pointed me out to a cool website http://www.britishbicycle.com. Anyway, the more I tinkered with it, the more I wanted to make like a Dutch pub crawler, so here goes.... this is when I brought er home, nice brush on paint job painted it...

Got the tires on, wheels trued up, somewhat. Rides ok, simplistic, single speed, 1 brake, probably not a keeper, but it was fun easy build... another huffy saved from the crusher!

Got rid of the bull bars, and went with more of a comfort bar, painted it red to match, and used a white bmx brake lever with white brake cable, kinda throwback to the old Elsinore days of my youth...hahh..... I think I'll at least keep it a six speed, and go with the Canadian Cyclo-Kross...

Robbed the chain ring off of a Schwinn pixie, nice number. If I make this a single gear, does that make it a Pixie Fixie?

maybe one of these...

Ok, I'm piqued, how much for the Conti, and can you post a pic? I'll send you a m.o.

yeah, they're alumn rims with steel hubs, one broken spoke, too bad, single piece cranks, may use a bmx crank with removable sprocket, 26" alm rims, single speed with alm schwinn brake

That snappin turtle rocks!!! I gotta get one of those! Who made those, what vintage? Looks like late 40's early 50's by the motor. The original Snapper factory is just down the street from me, they shut it down back in the late '80's, you can still see the outline of "Snapper" in the faded...
