Hi lads I ´m new here. My name is Mark and I ´m from Germany. Everything started as found a shop in Hamburg selling Felt Cruisers. Must have was my first thought. I spent a lot of time and money in restoring, tuning and customizing old Vespa Scooters. Now that my latest scooter project is nearly finished I have again some space on my workbench and I guess it is now the time to care about this rat rod bike virus...
I finished a small bike project for my cutie before, nothing special, just a few new parts and a powder coating.
Next year my 8 year old son will need a new bike. So how would it be for him to have a one off build kuztom kruizer?
I am currently thinking of converting a second hand MTB frame or setting up an own frame. A final decision has not been made however I´ve just bought a 16 ton hydraulic tube bender at ebay…
This is a sketch of it which I have drawn during a boring meeting at work:
Cycling season in Germany is nearly over and my own bike will be customized as well. This how it looks like at the moment:
My plan is to fit some self made brake handles, new paint job (flat grey) and do some alterations to the frame. I did some CNC milling for my scooter projects, so fabricating the handles is the smallest problem.
So many ideas, so little time.
Something else:
I need a name for this scooter. It´s painted with a special rust paint. Something like "Rusty Nail" Any ideas?
