Just 2.125's :-)

Thanks Chad! Yeah and it also add beefiness to the tires as well :-)

Updated look :cool2:

Here's my current favorite, mounted on Caridad. I had a neighborhood automotive upholsterer do the job for $5! I just gave him the design and picked some swatches and here it is :-)

Sorry to hear about your loss, my heartfelt condolences.

Just bought it at a local bike shop for about US$6-7

Hmmmm... front & rear tires: P550 coaster hub: P500 rims: P500/pair front axle: P180-200 spokes & spoke nipples: P500 front and rear I hope this helps.

Thanks, man! Yeah it was a good deal. I really had to snatch it up immediately before someone beats me to it. The bike/cruiser scene here is getting bigger every year, good for the community but bad for those looking for a good deal, haha!

Yep, mine's a Patria. Looking forward to your build kabayan! Post it on the build thread :thumbsup:

New Mongoose bmx stem! :)

Yeah, those moto-bikes are the closest things we have to a time machine :-)

Hahaha yeah nothing like the summer heat as an excuse to get a couple of cold ones! You're more than welcome to come use any of my bikes when you're in Manila.

Newest member of our fleet :) New stem!

Yup the treatment of the patina is finished. I scrubbed the whole frame with a wire brush to get as much rust, dirt and paint off...it left it a polished feel, then sprayed a couple of coats of clear matte and waxed and polished some more. Then next good deal I get on a vintage frame I'll...

So much WIN! Awesome craftsmanship as usual, everything about this build is perfect! Congrats in advance, Kimberly ;-)

This is your best build yet. It's BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks, cman! I really don't know what type of fork it is called. It's just a generic fork used for our local pedicabs. The fork that I initially was going to use had a shorter steering tube and the others I had wouldn't accommodate the width of the tire. So I just ran to our neighborhood bike...
