now on whitewalls, handlebar a bit shorter. new pics with details.

typical oem stuff, around late 60s to early 70s. used with those low end commuter cycles. not nice to ride, but in good condition a nice-to-have for a serious saddle collectors. but definetly nothing you should mount on your seatpost.

Re: SPIEZ (German design, German buildup, Swissmade Frame) didn't try to ride hands-off 'til now. but sixpack in the right and left on the bars works. so it's safe. haha! :D

Re: SPIEZ (German design, German buildup, Swissmade Frame) thanks! i do. but only clear varnish and red/white stripes. that's why i said 'pretty nice to ride on plain and straight lanes'. :lol: you should select your track well, spontaneous turns might end up less gracefull. it rides...

This is my latest buildup, based on the SPIEZ frame, designed by fahrrad-pimp (username in the german "tretharley"- forum) and accomplished by Abteilung Cruiser, Swiss shop for customs and cruiser bikes (http://www.abteilung-cruiser.ch). pretty nice to ride on plain and straight lanes...

This beauty stood rusting in a Berlin backyard for nearly ten years, before it was salvaged. Only the frame and the chainguard are leftover to be used for a build up, all other parts were complety rotten. I used the parts of my mid 90s electra deluxe build up, the dyno is so much more smooth to...

few changes, but i need a front brake..

here's my buildup, based on a 2002 deluxe (yes, casey wells and me are "close friends" :lol: :wink: ): for more: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16924

I needed a bike like this since the first time i looked at RRB! Now I'm done with it.. Glad to have a "lightweight" ride as an alternative to my 60 lbs custom bike. :lol: It is based on a 1995 Electra deluxe, with a 3speed coaster brake SACHS Torpedo hub.

école belge. i like both babies. cool stuff!

you're lookin' for the tires or the frame? for the frame the link in the post above is right, to watch out for the tires you may have a look at 3gbikes.com. i really like that tire for the muscle car look. and i'm lucky that i might have grabbed the last available pair in europe. :mrgreen:

that's the best, what a designer can do on his own design! 8)

Thank you so far, guys! The chain is from a bmx store in hamburg. Should be available by nearly every bmx mailorder worldwide. On my bike there are two chains in use to fit the length. Halflinks are goodlooking and massive, but a 100% straight chain line is needed, if you want to use it with a...

buildup done! that's what i've always wanted.. and how i want it! :mrgreen: - 2008 346 basman frame - 2005 Felt El Guapo triple tree - SRAM S7 - Rigida DHL 80 front - DHL 100 in the back - Sturmey Archer drum brake - 3G Hoggy-G tires - Hartkore Custom Grips cnc'd - Brooks B66 - 346 3piece...

few new modifications: rare version of the electra hellbilly xl- seat and a new 3piece- crank by felt. pretty load of chrome, but it fits perfectly to the rest of the bike, i think. to me my switchblade looks nearly perfect now. it'll get a new hydraulic disc break next month and then i'll start...
