"DEVIANT" link to finished build on page one :-)

Hello all, your vote would be greatly appreciated!
Here is the finished build thread: viewtopic.php?f=68&t=61058

Hello all,

This is my first time entering a build off, so I wanted to do something a little different.
I found this ladies step thru Monarch at the Ann Arbor show and the price was right $5.00
Here are some pictures of the parts I might use. I've been staring at it for a couple of
weeks now, and did a little mock up. Some different wheel/tire combos, and a tank off of a
Schwinn American. Don't know if it will have fenders yet... hmmm...

She's got a beauty mark...

I like this combo

Or maybe these...

A step beyond... :wink:

Dude! I love that set up! Do this!

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

I've seen a few flipped frame bikes (did one myself before the build off) but that frame you have makes it just right!

Just let me add though that those tires don't fit your build... I want them!!!! (been looking for full gummies for years!)

Looks like you have a single out of place whitewall Carlisle there. I'll take that off your hands. And the bike looks sweet too. :mrgreen:

Those are some nice curves!!!
This one is gonna be fun.

Yes, I like that tire/wheel combo the best. I'm going to wash them and shoot 'em with clear.

I've always liked curvy women

Gonna hold onto that lightning dart tire... I've been waiting for the right build to use it along with that Gillette slick.

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

I have a frame like that, I've been holding on to for a flipped frame bike. I like how the curves come out.

You can be sure that I will be watching how you make everything work, especially the new BB.

Great looking so far!

That frame flipped over looks cool! Nice work! I'm watching this one

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

It actually looks like it was meant to be flipped. It's got me to thinkin'

Keep it up, Rg

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

the step thru disappears when flipped. Looks like it's gonna be a wildly cool build!!

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

I've made a little progress. I cleaned and rebuilt the hubs, and found a donor frame for the bottom bracket.
I'm not sure if I'm going to weld it on, or bolt it up. I'm also working on some bolt on rear dropouts to stretch
and lower the rear end. I'll be giving the frame an acid bath next week sometime. Happy Memorial weekend everyone!

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

Looking great so far. Watching!

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

If a person is going to use a ladies frame you sure picked the right one!
Seeing your work area makes me realize how bad I need to cleanup my basement shop!!

 

[jerrykr]

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

I'm planning on welding my BB on.

viewtopic.php?f=67&t=57255

we will see how that goes. Hope you take some pictures along the way of the new BB and drop outs.

what are your plans for the seat mount?

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

Very cool :shock: Gives me hope for the girls frames I've got laying around.Thanks :!:

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

It's been a couple of busy weeks around here, but I'm starting to make some progress. The hubs have been rebuilt, and I shot the rims with clear coat. I had a chrome wallgoose frame laying around and cut out the crank hanger.

Luckily, the seat tube fits over the monarch tube perfectly.

I am going to attach it with some stainless self tapping screws and some type of bracket on the chainstays. I cut down the seat tube per rule #3.

I think it worked out pretty good. Looks like two exhaust pipes, and I'm going to incorporate a headlight into the large front cutoff tube. It also gives me a place to mount a kickstand.

Next, I need to figure out how I am going to mount the seat. I'm leaning towards the white seat with gold glitter.

I'm also looking for some chrome forks... might need to go over to theflyingdingo's and raid his parts bins... 8)

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

That is looking sexy man!!!
Love the curves and the BB Exhausts

 

[jerrykr]

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

looking good! I like your idea about the headlight!

Re: "DEVIANT" A step thru goes a step beyond...

I did a mock up with the tank and Headlight today. The BB is also screwed into place. I'll post some pics tonight.
