Nice bike! I think that a 24" front tire is the way to go. But then again, that's just my opinion. Whichever would looks (and rides) better to you. But I like the way your fender looks! 8)

@anticonformity I love the work you and your father are doing I know its a ton of welding and grinding,Great job!
Well I finished the wheels and tires I couldnt choose red or black so I flipped a coin and black won and im pleased with the way it looks...Still not sure how im doing the fender id like a full length tail dragger but nothing in the front so a shorty in the back would prabably fit the build better.I stuck with the 24" front wheel but it can always change...Thanks for all the intrest fellas and ladies Im lovin this site always something new to look at! :lol: ImageImage

I like yer idea of putting those holes there! 8)
My suggestion would be, first cut the hole(s), then, weld in a short section of tube and grind it flush. I bet you were already planning to do that weren’t ya? :P
Lookin’ at those frames you cut up, you could use some of that oval tube instead of making round holes and you will have something even more unique. :wink:
Now, please tell how you made the white walls, okay?

You hit the nail on the head with the pieces of pipe thats excatly what I was planning.The oval pipe is a neat idea but I was only able to salvage the 9" I used on my frame or I would have streched it a little more without moving the seat back.The white walls are painted with rattle can I know that sounds Ghetto but it works great,I did this on a ratrod Goped Bigfoot I bulit a few years back and it worked good,the trick is to use good paint and only enough paint to cover {like two thin coats} and it works without cracking all over...I rode the Goped for over a year before I sold it and the tires looked as good as the day they were done! :mrgreen:

Hey guys thanks for all the encouragment and nice comments :D Well I decided not to do the port holes in the frame but I did peak the bottom tube,here it is in primer.It is really straight but the camera angle gives a optical illusion....Image

After the final assembly the family and I went on a nine mile ride and it went smooth with no problems!The best part is I put less than 80 dollars in this whole build,gotta love that! :mrgreen:

I used the reflector bracket on the rear wheel for a shout out to RRB and the bike name on the back side check it out... ImageImage :roll: I know a coaster brake wouldnt tear all the paint off my wheels and probably work better but I was on a budget,maybe in the future. :lol:
