Ligne Noire - Chopper

[ChopperOlli]

Hey, this is the bike I made in last autumn. I did have it daily driver in this spring.

This sketch I made whit computer:

Idea for forks I got when I get absorber of moutainbike. I didnt wanna make rear supension for
chopper bike, so I started to search ideas to use it on front end. Finally front became swing type,
just like in most of the cruiser bikes.

Fork under construction:

First time on wheels:

First drive:

After short test drive bike feel good, so I took it on parts for finishing and painting.

Good that paint dryes fast, dust you can see on these pics have been landed safely on dry surface

Thanks everybody!

Here is small update what I made for it some time ago - a fender.
Because of 3" tyre I needed to widen it a bit. Its nice to weld this kind
a old bicycle fender.. I think it is 0,4mm tin :wink:

it may have already been said or to obvious, but is the suicide knob for brakes??

 

[ChopperOlli]

Nope, its for navigating gears. Its having 3 speed coaster brake hub "3CC" from Shimano.
