Forgot this one infront of a local landmark school from the 20's....just imagine the cool bikes that used to be parked in front of schools across the country like this one.

Took the Congo Jammer out on a 20 mile shakedown cruise before I paint her up real purdy. And since this one is not staying with me and I have no idea who'll end-up with her, nor what amount of common sense they will have I decided to leave my brain and concern for my work at home and just...

Exactly, I figured I wasn't the first, nothing except for the likes of a few on here are trailblazers but I hadn't seen it and it was a simple exercise and figured I'd post perhaps others need a simple single gear solution.

Productive day: brake line and derailer cable retaining cups cut off and re-installed in new locations, modified another derailer to take slack from the bottom, modified the multi-sproket crank and took 7 or 8 links out, one by one, trying different lengths. Phew! I'm beat! Anyone ever done...

Low down coolness times 3 man, dig it!

That'd work if I was keeping it but since I'm donating to the cause I'm trying to make it as less a deathtrap as possible, keeping the shifter on the bars allows the rider more stability and with the steep rake the novice rider will need both hands on deck. I don't wanna hear somebody wiped out...

I'm currently looking for a 7 foot cable in my pile of parts so that I can make it multispeeds

Thats a serious blown hiboy mister... next time you're passing an uptight prius lover give her a good kick in the pants for me! Thanks for the eye candy and best of luck with the build, I'll be keeping an eyeball on this one.

I dig it man! Looks like you own the street on that fine machine! You definitely get the "Heppest Cat" in the PI award from me daddy-o.

Just have to pile on with props for doin the hot rod traditional theme, way to go. You must get thumbs up everywhere you cruise her from rodders.

32's are my first love, inspiration for the build?

Love the frame, you're going nanner? Diggin the sissy bar!

Ask yourself, "what would Skoty Chops do?" Answer, lower the fender gap with the 24"....

In my opinion the point to a burrito build is personal.... I've seen some I'd say are "purdy" while others are utilitarian or functional art at best. I built mine as a spiritual metaphor, it's parts are from thrown away bikes I received as a gift and made something new. Maybe it'll raise a few...

Second this beach bum, hot rods, customs, led-sleds....

Very cool, I can't wait to see the pics when you do!

Like a butchered mountain bike should, awesome.:grin: Finished all the welds yesterday late and really wanted to make a few passes but didn't have any 3/32 links for the chain, so I threw a couple 1/8" links in just to see how far I could make it... she rode smooth as could be and I really...

Welds done, time for a test run...

Really like the lines you're giving it, great work

BigRed I'm glad you asked, I'd honestly read somewhere on here it was a term for a build just low enough to stand on it's own pedal but, Wow! was I missing the cool back story to the origin... Junkman on another older site gets the honor of being it's originator, Stretch on here reposted some...
