    Back to the Future: The Café-Scrambler

    Due to some outside factors, I put this project on hold. I plan on getting back to it very soon. Unfinished projects are not cool! :mrgreen:

    The fork has been stripped, sanded, primed, and the base coat applied. I think I like orange.

    How my son rolls

    My little dude's Kettler, German-made trike. I got it used via craigslist. It has a hand operated drag-brake and the frame length is adjustable..

    Back to the Future: The Café-Scrambler

    I was out of town for a while. Now I might get a few hours (here and there) to work on things. I picked up a stripper, er, um, I mean a can of stripper. I also stopped by my LFS to get a bearing for the bottom bracket. ...Now back to work! I have painted bolts like this forever. Punch a few...

    The Partridge

    Agreed. That zany Mondrian paint job has always been a favorite of mine. Are you also going to do the "Nervous Mother" sign too? I dig that frame!

    I will do a another quick test (before sanding). I'll do a white base-coat if it is not bright enough. Thank you everyone for the tips and kind words of encouragement.

    Back to the Future: The Café-Scrambler

    Here's another update: As I was planning, I decided to steal the Panaracer 2.10 MTB tires from one of my mountain bikes. I have been wanting to make that MTB bike more of a commuter/"bike trail" bike anyhow. So the Kenda hybrid slicks go on that. I got some orange paint and some clear. Overall...

    1.21 gigawatts? 1.21 gigawatts? Great Scott! No... it's going to be more "George McFly."

    Please allow me to introduce myself...

    I am into long walks on the beach and holding hands... oh... wait that sounds like a personal ad! After much prodding, here's my intro: I live in Ohio and have LOVED bicycles since I was a lad. I have almost always customized my bikes--all the way back to when I got my second bike ( a 20"...

    Here's an update: The rims after I got them trued. Those tires look weak! 1st mock-up with some of the parts and the black wheels off of one of my MTB's. The seat is not right! After some grinding... Front view of 1st Mock-up

    Back to the Future: The Café-Scrambler

    I know, I know… this is a late entry, but I should be able to fit a bike project into my already busy schedule. I came across this web site, quite by accident (less than a week ago). I saw the “RAT ROD BIKE BUILD OFF 3” and after a few days of deep thought, I am going to enter. Here it is...
