My ratty ride

[Burt]

Well I'll take some better pics soon, but here's something. http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/FatLarrys/ Should also put some older pics there, to see how it has progressed.

Frame is a modified 60's tunturi (a finnish brand) ladies bike, with original front 26' wheel and fork. Rear sports a 28' 3-speed in these pictures, now a one speed 28'. Carrier is coffinshaped own design. Other parts are just a bunch of junkparts from other bikes. Though there is not much ground clearance, this is really my daily ride. I ride it at least 70 kilometres a week, and in a half year my second pedals are already worn out. :roll: Got to get new ones soon.

Thanks, my back is fine. :lol: Actually it's very comfortable to ride, which people don't somehow believe. Here's finally the first version, and version of today. Yes, these are not good too, but better.

Ok, this bike doesn't exist anymore. I cut the frame to pieces, and took everything useful from it.

From now on, my daily ride is this.

The frame is again highly modified, but now it's straight! :mrgreen: Originally it was a swedish army bike made by Monark. (I guess Monark hasn't anything to do with Monarch?) It's propably made in the 40's, but I'm not sure for that so I just say that it's very old.

This zycle needs still a new fork and some pinstriping. Of course I'm going to do both by myself. I'm a very bad pinstriper, but I hope my rough lines will with in the rough style. :lol:
