Great build.

[custombikebuilder]

UPDATE; I picked up some chains I think will go really well. BUT do I go 50/50 -yellow/ black or do I go 25/25/25/25 or 75/25

take out all the links and do black yellow black yellow and so on until the chain fits

I don't want to be a hater, but at the beginning of this thread, I thought this bike was gonna be a bad idea with some good elements thrown in....but, the "finished" post on April 10 changed my mind entirely. This bike is awesome.

Good job.

A big THANKS everyone for the great feedback. This was a build that sorta had a mind of its own. it rides really cool
Hey Gdcast That is a REALLY BIG FLAG!
custombikebuilder, KMC does make a 2-tone chain, but its like 30 bucks shipped and the 2 chains were 7 bucks apiece at the swapmeet. besides the 2 tone chain is stock, mine is unique?
Bicycle808, Don't be hate'in [just kidding] at the start, I was not sure where this was going ..it just went and i like where it went. This is now one of my favorites...[actully they are all my favorites..thats why I can't sell any..? ]

I know what ya mean about a build having a "mind of its own", but surely you had some kind of visionary skillz to make something like this turn out so nice. I just have a few questions:
With the front half of the frame being what it is, is it a Schwinn? does it fit, look, sound, or feel like a schwinn? similar at all?

i admit when i saw you were doing the whole thing yellow and black i was wondering what you were thinking....but then after seeing it ive gotta say you were thinking way ahead of my little brain and saw a better product than i could imagine! turned out great

Yes I'll admit,itsa Schwine,.. the back 1/2 is schwine also, so the frame is circa. 1953/72

...Some time you have an idea, but not sure how it will turn out. Either it will be really cool..or..sooo ugly, it turns out really cool. Like a dog you might find at the pound [ rescue]
THANKS for the comps! everyone

[Bicycle808]

Ha, I happen to like schwinns, most of em, anyway. I happen to like a lot of other bikes, too.

This one is definitely awesome, and I guess it qualifies as a schwinn, but it's hardly like anything else with the Schwinn badge on it..

That looks awesome, a mooneyes bike isnt the most original idea, yet you've come up with something that is completely fresh looking - great job

Thanks hewey, When I got the seat, I knew there was mooneyes theme bikes out there ,so I turned the idea upside down and started building. I took it for a maiden ride on Saturday and its a really fun rider. I even scraped the pedal on the ground, going around a turn, and now FRANKENSTIENMOONSCHWINE's broken in ready to ride any time.

[outsider13]

Update- I switched out the front skinny tire for a Kenda K-rad and it Barely fit, But it rolls freely and thats what counts, And it LOOKs much better, Ilike the new style of bobbers out there smooth in back, knobby up front
