Country Rat AMF RRBO4 entry

[rustydawg]

My first BO will have a rural theme, maybe a produce hauler. Starts with a 26" AMF Courier 3 spd. bicycle, haven't decided if I'll stay with this drivetrain. This is early in the build-up, now for the tear down.

Cool!! That's a clever set-up you have there! Can't wait to see how it progresses!

 

[Skipton]

COOl! :mrgreen:

 

[rustydawg]

The front part of springer is from an old walk behind plow, metal wheel & hand holds removed. Schwinn fork with brake bridge holds the spring bracket in place for now.

That's the coolest fork I've ever seen :shock: Mighty fine thinking there! ~Adam

 

[herr_rudolf]

How cool's that! Making your own springer fork... Nice to see skinny wheels on a cruiserframe and make it work. Beautiful color by the way...

 

[CCR]

coming up with your own fork is fantastic, but the way it sweeps down and comes back up looks really impressive !!!

 

[Gold Street Customs]

That forks MONEY!!!!!!! looking good so far.

 

[emanon]

That's about the craziest fork I've ever seen-truly a one of a kind. I want to see a video of the bike in action when its done.

Simple and sweet front end 8) I'm thinking we will be seeing variations of that in the near future. But do yourself a favor, replace the brake bridge with a proper spring perch, there's no way it will be strong enough for riding, and it may well result in a crash if it folds crookedly. :!:

A new spring perch is in the works, the OG fork will replace the blue Schwinn 10spd. fork. I'm also undecided on whether to repaint or just distress the OG gold paint that's on it. Red wheels might look good rolling with the gold :wink:

OUTRAGEOUS forks...did you use pre-exsisting pieces for your down tubes (for lack of a better term) or did you bend these yourself? If the previous is true,what are they off of...just curious...Pappy 8)

The front fork legs are from what you see on the right, a walk plow
