a trike so you don't have to keep balance, and a drive train with a jackshaft to to get even lower gears? and maybe a flywheel from an exercise bike.

i think it's maybe 2-3 things intersecting that you see from build to build with varying amounts of each. some people just have creativity leaking out of them, while most of us have flashes or maybe smaller ideas. no less valid, but where they build some whole bike idea that seemed to come out...

seems like i have a million bike projects going at once, but this is the last one i spent a bit of money on brought an exercise bike for $12 to get the seat. made a springer seat out of it. the parts to make it i had already. just got another exercise bike with the same seat (except in black)...

that's a home theater waitin' to happen.

hello, saw your pm, but sorry i can't help you much. i just went out and looked at it, but i don't see anything on the motor that gives any voltage info, and like i said, i can't get the battery pack off to know what or how many batteries might be in it. i never rode it powered, but i can say...

Re: Stolen best of luck to you finding at least some of your stuff, and worst of luck to the theif. may he get a pants cuff caught in a bike chain and crack his skull flipping over the bars.

either around the 'hood off and on, or the riverwalk (louisville,ky) on sunday morning/early afternoon. on a couple of past weekends i've ridden into town and back, and come back through the sort of trendy part of town. one of my bikes ended up at a bike shop in that area (one of the bikes i...

there've been some threads where you add the suspension mt bike rear to make your own haven't there? if not, look into it. it's a cheap way to end up with a long tail cargo bike.

that's about my favorite of the cargo bikes. got a homebrew half done in the garage, another of the lost inspiration projects.

anyone else gonna weight their various stretches/tallbikes/homebrews? the only reason i did at first was from a past buildoff. i started with a hybrid mountain bike instead of the usual beachcruiser. i titled it "the lightweight stretch" figuring it should be lighter, so i weighed it at the...

i didn't go through putting it in a box, but i have one i left in the box when i got a good deal on two. an occ clone, "big mo" (anyone remember that sportsman whatever type place blowing them out?). i can't say there's anything really special about it, but i don't need it to ride, the initial...

i like it. i'd go for a good sized exercise seat and/or a seat with a backrest so you have something to push against when you want to accelerate or push up a hill. can't remember seeing it since i came to this forum, but it's not too hard to make occ's into a 5-7 speed, also good for hills...

looking at my g-bike from the buildoff last year and thinking about playing with it some, but i need a new bike speedo/computer. i put a nice mag wheel on the front and didn't want to try drilling ino it or gluing to it so i tried to put the sensor on the back wheel. the sensor wire wasn't long...

well, just came from my local to my house walmart and stopped by the bikes... GO TO WALMART...CHECK THE BIKE RACK...IT'S THE LAW :x !!! ...and still none, but there was a guy loading bikes on the racks so i asked if he knew of any coming. he didn't know what i was talking about. i also...

that helps. i'm 5'11" so i guess that's how it would fit me. i still want one eventually. got an answer to my youtube post, that guy is 6'7".

been checking the walmart near where i live and the one near where i work and niether has gotten the 32. there's 4-6 more in the city, but not nearby. i still don't have a idea of how big it is, but i saw this on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLbr6vap3wE don't know how tall he is...

are the wheels 26"? try chopperus. i got plastic discs from them a while back. they may still sell them. they're black, so you'd have to experiment with painting them silver. they were only about $30 though. if your wheels are 24" there's a place in europe that had both sizes, but the shipping...

be even easier with a clips

while i was on the bike stretching tear, probaly about half were murrays i think both of these were montery's, i know one was. the two i gave away last christmas montery, gonna become my school colors bike siesta key, gonna become my k.i.s.s. bike plus one santa cruz amoung the uncut...

the second one both were exercise bike seats where i got rid of most or all of the framework and made my own. i guess you could do the same with a bobber seat if you wanted that exact shape. i have to say though, my seatpost being angled back so far makes this easier (the second was...
