the story of "rag and bone"

[gaskill]

so here is the story of rag and bone...
it starts with a free 10 speed....

i stripped that, flipped a mountain bike frame and added some structure. as you will see in the picture below, its all really a skeleton now. those are golf caddy wheels for stability and that is the front fork laying on the ground, all still in an early phase.
this bike when done, will have a steam punk/ industrial revolution/gypsy/ feel to it.
i dont know if you can tell by the picture but it will have two 26 in wheels in the rear and one up front. making a combine total of 5 wheels!
oh and the rim up front is for stability for that fork , and it also keeps it from looking like a chopper (which i love but not what im going for)

WHA ?? lol

 

[gaskill]

thanks for the "what the ...?" thats what i was going for. this week im working on the brakes. which i guess will be a fender that will rub against the wheel to stop it. and other suggestions? i know i want a huge lever to pull on to stop

actual Breaks might work for such a situation. (just sayin)
