Winter Build-Off Cranbrook

[MoeBoy]

First Build here.

This bike started as a "chopper" that I bought from a guy. It had a 24" front wheel, banana seat, and big apes. It was fun to ride but wasn't very comfortable at all. I'm going for a traditional build, but who knows where it'll end up. Enough blabbing, here it is.

Sprocket I picked up on ebay. I thought about drilling some holes in it, or even just mounting it backwards. Thoughts?

good start man
thm cranbrooks are perfect for customizing can get them on the cheap side and so many options for parts make them a great candidate for the likes of us rrb folk

Thanks @burrkrayecycles I'm trying to keep things as cheap as possible.

Found these at the front door today: Rubena City Hoppers 26x2.00

Looks like those tires should roll nice!

I like the front side with the milled holes. But I'd try to paint over the words and just leave the holes milled

Got it mocked up with the parts that I have. I'm thinking I either need to shine up the tires, or dull the frame down. Crank is a 185mm Profile 3 pc off my old bmx bike.

Those cranks are the best.

like this one so far

Bought these AME grips from Porkchop. Look good and match the tires pretty closely.

I had to shine the front tire up to get the color a little closer. Since the tires have zero miles on them, they still have a chalky look.

Looking good!
