Not a cruiser, but there is chrome under that flaking candy red paint. Abandoned at my work, I replaced the pedals with flats, the pizza cutter tires with the fattest I could fit ( a whole 28mm!), and the drop bars with city bars. I love converting racing bikes to city bikes, real hot rods of...

I don't think it's ugly, but some people might. Fixed gear Raleigh twenty non folder.

I love the Raleigh 20, I have a couple, a non folding fixed gear and a folding single speed. I would upgrade the wheels and brakes, and strip off everything that isn't a bad ..., sporty bike.

Am I doing something wrong? I can't see any of the pictures in this thread, and I really want to!

So I know it has been 4 years since this build, but I am wondering where is the Cresent Racer now?

I have those tires on wide 24 inch rims and they look meh:(. Yours look awesome! What size are those rims and where, where, where did you get those wheels:rockout:?!

I built these as Klunkers, but it looks like they would be at home here to. Heavy like tanks, but they plow through most anything once they are up to speed.

Count me interested! I have been wanting a 3 bar frame with modern materials and modern sizing in components. $300 is on the high side of my budget, I would be willing to sacrifice the integrated headset if that helped. I would build it up with current Mtn bike components, so I would be happy...

The trikes in this build-off have got me to thinking, what if you put drift trike wheels on the back? Some fancy gearing would be needed to get the wheel speed up, but that might be worth it to do burn outs and doughnuts! :rockout::rockout::rockout:

Want, Want, Want!!! :thumbsup:

Interesting! Maybe you could include some details from the 1937 Glide-A-Cycle, make it a little more steam locomotive. http://www.oldspokeshome.com/glide-cycle-1937

Thank you! Good eye on the frame ID, I had no idea. I generally am not a fan either, but the price was right :grin:. I like how long and low the bike looks, I hope to take it on a downhill path to see how it handles.

Thanks! The bars are XLT(?), I hate to say that I don't remember where I got them, but I really like flat sweep back bars.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Very nice! Is that frame larger/taller than a standard cruiser frame?

My favorite HD klunk yet! I wonder how hard it would be to make a frame like that to fit 29'er wheels and brakes......

Nicely done sir!

And across the line! Looks good! I am curious as to how much heat that sink dissipates, I wonder how hard it would be to do a test?

Thank you :) The name came from my friend who gave me the frame, he called it Green Lantern Green and the name stuck.:D
