Thanks Buddy! May need to.

I was inspired last year by "Dr. Tankenstein's" build. Bucking all the trends, girls bike, 20", neither has ever won before. I thought he did a great job on it. He ended up with a great bike, he built for someone else (daughter?) Anyway, I was impressed.

So, I am building this one for my grandson (like he needs another bike! )

Murray Eliminator, I got from my buddy "udallcustombikes", & various parts I have lying around.

Here is the starting point: Frame:




Forks from a Murray Porkchopper:




WCC Wheels:




& anything else I can scrounge up to hopefully end up with a cool bike for my favorite (& only) grandson. More details soon.

[ndaway]

I wanna see that rear wheel fit the frame, they are surprisingly wide.

That's why I like them. This one will have dropout extentions to fit it in there somewhat like last year's build. I think the front will fit no problem.

This may be a bare metal frame since I haven't done that before & I'm lazy anyway. Hoping to have a motorcycle/bobber look to it. Not spending much money on this, just using parts I already have around & not planning on purchasing anything other than nuts, bolts, etc.

Super low budget Little Rat!

There's another 20" bike being built as a cafe racer, this frame could easily do the same and would be cool! You shortening the forks?

[Dr. Tankenstein]

You've got one of my votes!

Do it buddy!

Cheers,
