CUSTOM 70s CHOPPER SURVIVOR

[Rat Rod]

The comment about this bike looking bunched up is more correct than you know.

My daughter got on the bike and immediately bashed her knee into one of the fork plates when she tried to pedal. She had to get off....cry and walk around for about 5 minutes before she could try to ride it again.

She tried to ride with her legs pointed outward, but still hit her knee a couple more times. Needless to say, not her favorite bike of the bunch.

A 16" front wheel and maybe a longer frame would do wonders for ride-ability.

I happen to know where you can find a nice 36" sissy and 16" wheel for that bike.

Please put it on there!

I'm tempted to see how the fork looks on this...

Couldn't resist...

Don't worry....it's not staying on there...just wanted to see what it would look like.

One of my kiddos cruising on the Schwinn...minus the chopper fork.

Planning to sell off the chopper fork to cover another project.

In the first post? That looks like a Dorcy generator light set, pretty common addon back in the 70's and 80's.
