Fun build! Post a vid if you get a chance.

Here's an option too. I make these by hand in my shop. http://www.ghentcruisers.com/our-parts/drop-seat-post

tea... for the kids ya'know?!

Yeh. Filling it with tea would be smart. Keep the real stuff for yourself.

Maybe put a plastic sleeve in the tube first. Small pvc pipe? Create your fitting through a hole in the tube into the pvc vs using the metal tube itself. It'd probably be good for a shot or two.

The khaki rims are killer. Nice touch.. can you smuggle booze in the down tube.. how slick would it be if you could stash a little booze in the tube and pour it out through a little spicket near your chain ring.

Keep it up! When's your next build?

That thing is clean! can't wait to see it get "worn" a little bit. If your un-happy with the lines of the bike vs. the seat I have a seatpost that does wonder making the cruiser frame look like a racer. http://www.ghentcruisers.com/our-parts/drop-seat-post

You probably were used a 1008 steel has a tensile strength of 30,000 lb/in. Try 4140 has a tensile strength of 66,000 lbs/ in. I had the same problem when we chose the wrong steel for the drop tab. If you can find a hardened steel, that helps. A gusset helps for sure, we made one 6" dropped back...

definitely not cracked! It was a pretty rough prototype.. The new ones are much better. We're having them manufactured in NY now.

keep 'em coming people. I love these things.

sorry guys. my forum post notifier wasn't turned on. I just saw your replies. Here's pics of the seat post http://www.ghentcruisers.com/our-parts/drop-seat-post I got the tank from a guy in Ohio. You can occasionally find them on ebay. It's an old vintage tank by Cimatti. I'm in the process...
