The Pig

Here's my latest creation. Started out as a '67 Schwinn cruiser frame. Paul 'Waccko' Wackowski blew out the rear to fit a 100mm coaster rim with a Project 346 WW 24X3. He also used part of a girls frame to stretch the BB (from OCC Schwinn) further forward. He made the OEM-looking fork as well. He also stretched out the OEM chain guard. Front tire is a Velocity Dually 45mm rim with one of only 6 29er WWs in the US. Bars were made by Wacko that work perfectly for me and kinda look Tiki-ish to me. The Tiki tank was carved by Floridian Jeff Chouhard. Finish is a 'coppertone' powdercoat that's more on the root beer shade.

It rides beautifully and is lightweight compared to my other builds.

Hah, I know Jeff! Fixed/sold him plenty of bikes. I was watching the progress on the tank carving. Might I ask,How did you wind up with it in Jersey?? Do you know him as well? I asked him what bike that was for and he never got back to me. Glad to see it end up on a cool ride!
