Brewmaster Racer

[2dawgs]

Unearthed these rims from my TBD parts pile (I know, the curse it Copper again); what do you want from me, I live in the Copper State. Snagged some slicks for tires.

Found a aluminum "Brewmaster" coffee maker in the dumpster outside the shop (pic to follow later). The top part will make a great tank.

Thinking of using structural brackets for the front fork and the same for the rear seat stays. Coffee cans & strainers for the front & rear lights (these will be the only other design features paying homage to Mr. Coffee). The seat will be a Nanner reconfigured to a bubble butt (cafe racer style). Grips will be motorcycle style from the 50's; and handlebars will be Clubman style.

Still rooting thru the pile for the right frame; and like all builds this beast will evolve over time.

Good & Bad News: The name of the coffe maker tank is Brewmatic; Brewmatic Racer, Nah! Also, the copper rims ain't gonna make it. Going with black or brushed aluminum to compliment the tank.

Here is a few pics of the "tank" and strainers (morphing into lights).

Thanks. Thinking either a 60's Schwinn Lady's or 60-70's diamond frame to accomodate the soon to be shrunken tank. Which ever one it is, the first things to go will be the rear seat stays and front fork. I will be fabbing those components.

Luke,

Thanks for checking out this build. Hope to select the frame this weekend.

Was looking @ my 60's humpback as the frame and couldn't bear to modify it.
So, I going to cut up a Jesse James Chopper frame; robbing the headtube & bottom bracket and rear dropouts. The rest of the frame will be constructed out of strutual steel brackets & steel plumbing pipe.

The wheels will have thin guage steel disc fabbed from sheet stock. That will about do it for now. Gotta get to making & breaking stuff. Now where is my steel cutting chainsaw?

Pay no attention to the man with the third eye.

The jessee james chopper radical surgery was going no where. Found this Flying Pigeon frame, which will undergo major surgery.

In homage to Kingfish & Gaskill I am using Super Strut for key frame elements, i.e., front fork, top tube, rear seat stays & extension of chain stays. Here is a few pics of 1st stage mockup. BTW: used a front hub as a spacer.

A little bit more progress on the BMR today. I will replicate the front bracket on the rear seat stay to accomodate the taillight. The seat ain't staying; just for mockup purposes. The "drop outs will be welded & bolted on; and notched.

Rethinking the clubman bars; will do something more original.

 

[2dawgs]

Some further progress on the frame design.

Luke,

It's going to be even more crazier. I probably will be committed to the white straight jacket ward. Working on "shrinking" the coffee tank to scale over the next couple of days. Hope to post a pic soon.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Looking forward to seeing the shrunken tank!

Luke.

 

[2dawgs]

Shrank the tank. I am happy with the scale. Tank has been cut to 3 3/4 " in height & 5 1/2 " in Width.
