a little close as i recall but not bad. I sold her to my friend. even though she rides well she couldn't replace my Supersort Harrier 24" BMX so i passed her on

Re: "HOOCH-A-RAMA" updated 5-02 p.s. i have used that grinding trick with the tire before

Re: "HOOCH-A-RAMA" updated 5-02 nice work hooch you have an eye for this bike stuff huh. Its starting to look a bit out of proportion which is mad cool but man i dig the matching fat 24s at the start

Re: BILLET BULLIT (pic-update: May 4th 2009) you've never heard of avanti? we've got oodles of them in New Zealand

for sure, good to find you. I wouldn't fork out for stuff from india either. was lucky to get them for free.

Re: Diamondback street rod have just been offered a free bent GT-dyno aluminium Deuce cruiser frame, so might be able to bust out the levers and vice chocks and straighten her up for this build. we'll see

this is what i did with a cromo specialised rockhopper frame. sort of 80s BMX inspired rat street bike, really good to ride. can drop seat way down or almost up to full leg height. super light weight, really short wheelbase and maneuverable. forks are Ox cromo NOS mtb rigid 1 1/8th the chain...

this is what i did with a specialised rockhopper frame. sort of 80s BMX inspired rat street bike, really good to ride. the chain tensioner is an old highly modified reflector bracket, the bars cheap anodised motocross pit bike bars, old brookes saddle with plastic grass, tires vintage michelan...

Re: Diamondback street rod the current plan is to have everything as raw, patina'd, polished metal and natural as possible, no paint to speak of. with a hand made stick shift under seat and a few non- bicycle brass and copper bits put to use. I also have this seat brand new from india. don't...

ok, dont have the right frame yet but probably will be a tall frame NOS cromo diamondback mtb stripped with lugs removed. here is some of what i have already the 24" wheels with sachs 3-speed coaster brake hub and the sweet chainguard came off this super ugly 2nd hand kids bike bought for about...

that brake lever is pretty unusual among rod brakes. I didn't know they had one to work with drop handlebars. awesome.

Hi from auckland! I'm not a great fan of silver spray paint en lieu of chrome.. but hi! The rod brakes are definitely cool mechanisms. I was given a brand new shiney set of rod brakes from india. you can get all the euro/ english pre war bike technology brand new there. gonna use it on a similar...

Re: dutch racer greetings holland! we in New Zealand also sadly lack old schwinns etc so I will most likely be stuck with a diamond frame also! I will keep an eye on your bike build, I think we may have a similar look! Josca

lack of just frame I know we're supposed to start with a frame and name our build thread after it, but I have some sweet parts- wheels, tires, forks, seat, bars, etc that i plan to get a frame for. it will probably be a classic diamondback mtb frame due to headset + dropout requirements (yerk...

all i do, is take out the front wheel, stick the fork dropouts into a sturdily constructed set of WOODEN steps, or under a latched well hung door, line up the frame and use it as a lever. expect plenty of dents on your woodwork. some good forks won't respond to this technique but most do! a...

it would definitely go best with the red seat and grips. the first bike. it matches the whole vibe of the first bike alone, in my opinion

aw... I liked it better at the start.

Mein Gott! you are a genius! :shock:

wow. you have really tickled my aesthetic organs

how long before the axles and rims bent? they don't look like the right hubs for 1- sided forks to me.
