Got a build from a customer i met at a frankenbike swap meet. all he had was a frame, piece of a double springer and a set of 100mm wheels to begin with. Started with a crusty multi layer paint Schwinn a friend of his dug out of a yard. No info on the frame yet... mock up wheel comparison...

chain guide/tensioner made. ill post close ups of the bracket later. also had to swap cranks for offset clearance issues but problem solved so far. still waiting on a few parts but almost there. hopefully done by end of the week. heres another side shot for now...

Wheel is coming out amazing. Hope to do something similar some day.

looks great! love the color

Side shot. The flash did something weird and made the picture look vintage... but you can see the pitch I worked into the fork. Working on chain guides so that the chain will miss the lower stays. Ill have more on that as soon as i make a trip to the hardware store.

awesome!

Put it into a roller tonight. Man this thing looks sinister with all that black. Bolted on the shifter and a seat from a Felt Monster El Guapo for the matching stitching. Has just the right amount of contrast. Going to cut down the post an inch or two. Cant wait to take this thing out for a...

Shot color over the weekend and let it fully dry before cutting back through it for my distressed paint jobs ive been going for, that lime green sure does pop through the black. Today i wiped it down and sprayed clear over it. Would have taken a few cans to get good thick gloss on it that i...

Thank you Sir's. This one is nearing completion. Cant wait to be done and back on the build off bike!

Going to get to it really soon. i have one other build in the reg builds section that im finishing up this week and then i can move back over to this.

And also things are moving fast over at my shop... had a little down time yesterday and was able to start spraying color on the frame and parts. Just waiting for the humidity to go down to spray the clear. Should have a completed bike by next Sunday hopefully.

TUBES!!! Finally found the correct size tubes with presta valves locally. I originally wanted to stretch some smaller tires over these wheels but glad i came across these. Lots of BEEF. Here are the rollers...

Nice build so far!

Looks great! Beastly!!

haha.. that's my belly tank chopper i built in the last MBBO

Swapmeet parts and leftovers but got my steering and drivetrain picked out. Sweet set of cnc cranks i picked up and a 30t shimanno sprocket, Threadless steer tube and a nice pollished stem.

Interesting!! cant wait to see this

Thanks guys. Still digging through my parts boxes selecting bits and pieces. But first.... ...because Texas.

Decided to hold on to the parts i had been gathering for my 26/20 Fatty build until now and use this build off as an excuse to build this terribly expensive bike build ive been brewing in my head. Using a 26x100mm front wheel with drum hub and 346 tire and a 20x100mm rear wheel with coaster...
