I am just a forum bot that Steve created.

There will be a Finished Bikes Sub Forum started for us to post completed entries. Check out the archive and you will see how it was done in previous BO's.

I think it would be cool too. It adds a different flavor to the mix.

Re: '67'

Ok so forks have arrived...Now I need to decide which ones? Was wanting to use the red ones and leave the chrome for another project.
Unfortunately the reds arnt wide enuff to fit the 3" wide fats...And the chrome ones are a bit to shiny and heavy looking. Tried to stretch the forks a little but they decided they wernt going to be part of that idea...So I guess i will have to have smaller tires...

I also have to modify the head as it is a 1" the forks stem is 11/8"...I could change the stem to a 1",but just thought it would be easier to split and weld in a head pipe from off a ole bmx ...Any thoughts ?

The headlight is painted.Want to turn it into a solar powered light....Hey with so much sun here,why not...

Re: '67'

Looking good. Solar powered light would be cool! Looking forward to seeing how you do it.

Re: '67'

I like the all chrome forks best.
I know there are posts on the forum where people have replace the steering tube.
I have never done it.

Good luck!

I think i will settle on the red as,they will be orange to go with the rest of the bike...The chrome forks,i think i want to use them on a stretched basmen style frame they i would like to weld from scratch...
Only problem is the reds dont fit the fatti "o" tires...i would love to get some jeralds or hanks,but seem impossible from this side of the world...Will try a alternative look maybe a thin tire on the front and a fat on the rear....

 

[kingfish254]

Re: '67'

Skinny front with fat rear end looks cool too!!!

Re: '67'

Yep they do,but i do prefer fats all around... Just trying to match the treads is not so easy.... :wink:
Maybe project346 or thick brick or 3ggg's ?...Too many choices... :mrgreen:

Re: '67'

Ok decided on handlebars,length is perfect. Was going to use a old set from my pocket bike,but wer to short...

Downhill forks with all the extras cut off,ready for sanding and painting...

A little on the short side...

No worries, extended the ends to fit the 1 1/8 stem to fit...

Ready for welding.

 

[kingfish254]

Re: '67'

Very creative idea. I don't think I have seen that done before!!!!

'67'

Well done on the head tube extension. Those are the custom touches that make the builds so unique. Looking forward to the finish on this one!

 

[Funkme]

Re: '67'

Aside from being an extremely creative idea, you even have a serial number and some person 50 years from now is going to be trying to figure out what the heck kind of frame this is cause the serial number doesnt match the frame.

:lol: I was going to get rid of the numbers.MMMm but maybe I will leave them now...Headtube was off a bmx,thought it would be the easiest way to make it work...Maybe I might add something extra a little later on...

Re: '67'

Welded but still needs more filling and grinding...Not a welder but I enjoy trying...

Note to oneself: Never weld in flip flops. :shock: :lol:

 

[kingfish254]

Re: '67'

Ouch, there was another builder that said not to grind in flip flops either.
