I really like this one.

The use of the yo-yo is brilliant.

Radchen (or Rädchen, in proper German), AKA "little bike." It's a full 11" shorter than a standard cruiser, with folding bars and pop-off pedals, making it perfect to throw in a backseat, ready to ride anytime. I built it to be able to have a full custom, but on the go. Thanks for looking.

Back from the powder coaters with a metallic clear coat. Hard to see, of course, but it's done. More photos in the finished thread.

It's a curse that I make it look so easy. Seriously, though, I was more thrown off by... I've deleted and re-written so many times here trying to get the right balance to my words. My personal approach to social media is to only post things that I build, or photos that I take. One of those two...

Huh.

Broken down, and off to the powder coater.

Kinda surprised. I lost a lot of money on this site. Okay, well, I don't send F&F, but good luck with the sale, regardless.

Nice tires. FYI, sending money as F&F is against the rules on this site, so bump up your price if you need to, and remove that in order to keep your ad up.

It'll get one of the metal stickers, for sure. This guy from TC Bros.:

A motorcycle solo seat I've held onto for years, finally on a build.

Kickstand added. Picked up the shifter I wanted last night, although I will be doing some fab on it, to shorten it up. Pics of that later.

I'll try to remember to make one. I should probably take them off. haha. just like them, but haven't bothered to do anything about it yet. I'm considering a clear powder coat. As you pointed out, there are issues with a shifter on the bars, as they may not work well if I change the bar...

Okay, Geil! Here the Radchen sits with the seat in a position to stay two wheels down, adjustable bars on, and looking low. This thing rides, and all that’s left really is to place the shifter for the 3 speed Nexus. I haven’t even tested to see if it fits in the back seat yet. Haha. Guess I...

I've built two sets, yes. Though definitely not as nice as the real things.

@hamqqea had a similar idea. I'll probably put struts in, for simplicity's sake.

I'm sure a long seat could work, if I could find the right shape, but I've never been a fan of their appearance. Besides, I've had this motorcycle solo seat waiting for about three years, so I wanted to finally use it.

Okay, sure. I might be able to suspend it without struts, but I'll put them in there, just to be rigid. I'm not sure what a spindle is. The cranks are either 170, or 175. Haven't measured them. It's been mostly about just using parts I had.
