🍺 Anita Brewski 🍺- Bullhorns go bye bye

[Captain Awesome]

I like that the top of the head tube and top of the seat tube are exactly level in this configuration. She'll be a pedal scraper for sure

 

[Captain Awesome]

Next we can move on to some fun bits

We started here

Some old Razor BMX bar and stem and some rusty newsboy bars


Whoops.............

And then somehow we wound up here

Hopefully that conveys as well in photos as it does in my dusty brain

 

[Captain Awesome]

But Captain, where does the Brewski come into play?

Mock ups with zip ties until I can find one of my oversized cages

 

[Captain Awesome]

And yes, that polo seat will have struts. No sissy bar, just struts

 

[MattiThundrrr]

that polo seat will have strut

Prolly swagger too...

 

[Captain Awesome]

Ok, so.............

How's about this? Slapped on this polo seat for an eyeball and stuck some wheels in place

That crank fought me all the way but nothing a maul and 36" cheater bar couldn't solve


Speaking of, I got my chainrings from Husky. Got this 3.5 lowrider crank from the stash

Pretty sure these cranks came from @RustyGold when he sold me a bunch of Bratz bike parts for my BO15 bike

I love the "cycle" of parts around this place

I've got some forks coming from @Pedalpat that I think will be my first pass on the next big build for me. Maybe BO18? Who knows

 

[Pedalpat]

I spaced out on those bars for a looonnngg time ...those are wildy cool

 

[KJV]

Brewski and scraping pedal.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Maybe BO18? Who knows

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who's already working on 2023 plans...

That maybe out of necessity that way there you can finish on time.

I am seeing a mental picture of Burt Munro, lying on top of his motorcycle in his swim trunks, doing 200 miles an hour.

You mean Rollie Free

This'll be more like a tall man with his knees in his chin and outstretched arms

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Rollie Free

Look how far we've come

We have footrests now!

 

[Ulu]

I think those feet were invaluable for steering at high speed. You just have to wiggle your toes one way or the other.

I must be getting old or something.

When did it become a “polo” seat?

That was always either a banana seat or a stingray seat. Was actual polo involved?

Did bicycle polo become a thing or something? (…a thing or something? That’s the most grammatically awkward thing I’ve said so far today.)

1. Yes bicycle polo is a thing. Very popular in NYC actually





2. I didn't invent it. Just using the same verbiage but has nothing to do with the above

 

[MattiThundrrr]

I heard someone call em "nanners"
I'm trying to make it a thing

Nanners

 

[Ulu]

I’m not suggesting that any of you folks made that name up, because I have seen it on the Internet as well. But I certainly didn’t understand it unless it’s some European thing or some copyright business.
