That would be an extremely fast "fixie"....... That pedal sprocket will have a freewheel on it i think

I kind of expected to see a freewheel crank on there, but that doesn't look like any of the types I know of.... :roll:

Yes it has a freewheel in pedal sprocket. Its a sick bike parts shift kit,for the nexus 3 spd. Takes some getting used to to ride compared to my other bike without gears. Not as fast as my single speed either. Had to take off the high compession head so i could pedal start it,the pull starts are nothing but junk even the metal ones didnt last long.

COOL :mrgreen:

I especially like where you put the gas tank. What a beautiful bike!

 

[wheelbender6]

I agree with the compliment on the fuel tank. You have preserved the great lines of that frame by not putting a tank on the top tube.

 

[cobrafreak]

Dude, you need to get a Rat Fink rubber mask to ride with!

 

[insomniacshotrods]

Updates on the bike, built new gas tank and one more rat.

Polish the frame silver and paint a flag on the tank, look like eazy rider 8)
