NICE tribute!.........What the heck size are those rims,... 38 inch?......They look HUGE!

Progress seems slow on this one. I have put in quite a bit of time though. Cleaned the rear hub and sand blasted the cog, primed and painted the rims, primed and filled the frame. I need to mock it up so I can start building the fork. I have also started the tank but, I am not sure yet what it will be constructed from. I think wood would be the easiest, vacuum form over the wood, or sheet metal. Never worked with sheet metal before.

is that a tank i see in primer and guide coat?
orange looks nice!

Actually that tank is the reason I bought the mystery frame that is now in your possession. It didn't really fit the frame so the previous owner cut the bottom out of it

[Boardtrack fan]

I've got the frame painted and color sanded. I still need to lace the wheels (why can I do a 3x but not a 4x ). I just sandblasted the bobber rear fender and located a seat post to modify. Still working on the tank as well.


Not my first choice for tires but, since I can't find any quick bricks and I don't want to spend $80 on fat franks I guess these will do.

Arent those electra tires?


did you not try electra for creamies?

[KOTA]

They look like the "Kendas'" That I got out bid on,on ebay!...........Bike COLOR ...nice!

[Boardtrack fan]

I'm not sure what brand they are. I think they were a buy it now item on ebay. If you do a search for "balloon tire" I think you can find them. They come in red or white.
