(MBBO#V Class II) Interstellar Overdrive

[GuitarlCarl]

I'm scrubbing what I built last year.
I really liked the dip paintjob but the red washed out and I can't hang with the pink bike. I've got forks on the way and I'll be changing a lot of this bike. Frame, wheels and probably the handlebars are staying everything else is gone baby gone. No welding or cutting (I don't think) but this isn't going to be a restoration either.
It's a Coast to Coast Duster (built by Ross, Apollo clone)

Bye Bye Pinky...

Pinky Redux!

Will we see more dip paint, but just not red this time?

Luke.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

No dip. I've got an idea to try and look like the depths of space with rattle cans.

Cool! I Love that bike , but i have to agree that paint is starting to look like grandmother wallpaper

 

[kelvin hahnel]

love those bars

 

[GuitarlCarl]

love those bars

Thanks man. They're a little bigger than the orginal butterflys I had as a kid. I fabbed them up from two sets of apes and I like them too.

Front end got a lift,
seat's just a place holder,
may stuff a bigger wheel in the back... It's a work in progress.

Lookin' like a Donk!

Haha. Yep, I hung the axle in the bottom holes of the sissy bar, so it's higher than it would be but I wanted to get an idea of what it would look like. I believe I'm going to fab up some stretched out dropouts to weld in behind the existing dropouts. Now to find a wheel. I have another 3 speed hub, but no extra mtb rims. Ran out of stripper too. So I'm basically just seein' what looks like what... But I do like the rat trap fork on there!

Carl.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Loving the rat trap!

weld day...

looks like monkeys welded it but...

It's got the stance right...

Frame needs a quart of Bondo anyway.
I love the name Interstellar Overdrive...
but Mousetrap keeps popping into my head.

That should look sweet if you can get the seat mounted back further.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

I like that stretch!

Lay back seat post maybe?

 

[GuitarlCarl]

I like it but you know I toasted my chain line.
The chain went under that lower frame rail...
now the rail is right in my chain line.
I'm pretty sure I have room to dish my chain ring.
A lot. I'm also probably lacing a three speed in.
So I'm hoping things will work out.

Change it to cassette/derailleur, problem solved and you can run up to 7 speeds and make a cool shifter/grip shift modification...
