Look on ebay, used to be a bunch of "rat trap" style red ones cheap!

This one took on the "bolt it on mantra" of 70s bicycles but with newish stuff, steers like a mountain bike, wheelies like my Schwinn Crate I had as a kid.

As I "inherited" his mash induced smash! I was thinking of making it "roll overed" since the die-cast are tough to bend a little! But your Godzilla stomp is a fantastic idea!

Craigslist and eBay. Craigslist is for instant scores, got the truing stand for $50.00 off Craigs.

I'm going to suggest not getting to extreme with the components! Huge apes are not comfortable nor is a leather chopper style seat! About 5 miles pedaling and my bobber reeks of inefficient padding and hard grips...ok I'm old and my everything hurts.

I'm going to suggest seat angle, as you're going to point the nose down more than you think! I noticed as my weight came down from 247 to 185 the beach cruiser seats hurt the bottom of my cheeks where the leg meets derriere... Gender specific seats, never a unsex unless it's bmx.

My beach bruiser cruiser, as in I lost a power slide and scuffed my knee up, maybe I'll go back to my king sting for stunts....

Your last model bash inspired me to make something of my dead friends broken nick nack. Seems how he died of an unnatural b.a.l. of 4.7 I decided not to fix the old Impy up but rather add to the alcohol induced destruction.

With a laid-back seatpost you are going to be fine! But they do makes adult size banana seats, see eBay. My bobber has plenty of room with a short one.

My 2 cents... A lot of "board" bikes are actually "cafe" style, mine especially or even "velo" bikes... Boardtrackers are unpedal low....straight tube with a "clip on" bars.... Cafe bikes use a cruiser frame....(wide open parts list to go faster) Velo bikes mimic the track bikes used in...

I would love to think I'd complete a build off.... More likely I'll get side tracked with another thing, person or pet! Here's a GT I picked up to build as a gravel road bike. Got all the stuff to build it as a 9 speeder. Oh yeah gotta change plugs on my truck, good luck Builders, I will be a...

I got to give you props on that Schwinn it is beautiful! As far as riding fixed gear, you better have mad bicycle skills and some really good knees that you don't really like..... I ended up after years of riding them having to go to clipless because my foot wouldn't stay on the pedals...

Oh my, it was a long long time ago, Easter in 1981, Dad gave a set of blue Bullseyes, 36 red, 36 blue spokes and red winaman 20×1.75 rims. Told me,build them and I'll true them. Took a week looking at my Schwinn sx 1000 rims to build them. I was hooked... RRB was a natural for me as I'd never...

I looked around before settling on one. He's grumpy, hard of hearing, a little patience and persistence we get along great! I deal with a couple used bike guys.

Sad I haven't caught your builds before! This is going to be cool.

That would be an excellent motorized bike!

The mismatched wheel sizes aee nothing that I can do, but I got to say some of these bikes look really nice!

It's not rusty!

For me $250 is twice I'd pay for it. I have bought many nicer for $100ish. It's after they're cleaned up and have new tires/tubes & grips, $250 all day.
