Firebikes Fluid

[No Talent Clown]

Okay, it's not realy a "ratrod", but it was painted in the back yard and 90 percent of the parts came from one bike or another or off the spare parts shelves in my garage. I got it from Sam, at Firebikes, around Christmas and just got to finish it ( like it's really finished, ever) recently.
The mockup. Really liked the clubman bars, but being 5'9" I am a tad short to rock them.

The finished bike; Color shifting paint (looks red, blue, purple, black depending on where you're standing), Nexus 4speed roller rear and Sturmey drum laced to Sun BFR's, Kenda 26x3 tires, old Hawthorne bike headlight and scooter lamp (rear, with candy red over the lens) converted to LED's, tec...

To cool man, does the chain ever slap the tire without an idler on there? That bike ROCKS

 

[No Talent Clown]

Well, a little bit. I have a clear chainstay protector on the seatstay and a tensioner on the axle.

 

[No Talent Clown]

Ugh! I totally forgot an important pic. The chain tensioner/bottle opener:

...duh.

 

[maddogrider]

Cool a bottle opener, thats a nice option a maybe even better than an ashtray :lol:. Ya know the more i look at it, it needs an engine not just one of the China engines but maybe a 502 Chevy HEHEHE

Awesome all around.

The Surly chain tugs/bottle openers are a nice functional finishing touch to the rear.

BEAUTIFUL!..........Now go take a screw driver and put the FIRST scratch on it, get it over with NOW. Then you won't have to worry about it.

Already scratched it. On a night cruiser ride, we kinda snuck in to a skate park and I rode it around the bowls and over the transitions. Got the bottom of the frame pretty well.

I agree, it gives the right proportions on those longer frames.

That paint is wicked.

Love the color choice and the frame is amazing! I now know what to save up for!
