Wait wait wait, I clearly see a rear wheel in alot of these pictures.

If you're looking for a wider rim, perhaps a Felt in silver/alloy. They're not cheap, but they look AWESOME.

or this one from ChopperUS (again not cheap, but WOW!)

If you lived closer, I could've hooked you up last week. Oh well.

On Richmond, VA craigslist I've seen a few coaster brake equipped 26" cruisers come and got for $20-$30 over the past few weeks, that's worth the wheelset in my opionion.

Thanks Dr.T :D Not sure on what I am gonna do for a wheel :? I made a wanted ad so we will see what comes up :mrgreen: Can't wait to get working on my wheelie bar and paint up that tank :p Oh yeah, just wanted to get some more feedback on my bike :D
 
Re: ★★ The Young American ★★ (Update #10 Tank,Crank,and Pedals)

Hey Nick can you put the rear tire on the busted up wheel, just for looks. Bike has a REAL nice stance to it, would really like to see it with a rear tire on.... Or SWAP out a rim from one of your other bikes. :wink:
 
Re: ★★ The Young American ★★ (Update #10 Tank, Crank, and Pedals

now that's looking very cool!

I don't have a tire yet, really want a slick so I've been looking around :wink: Thanks for the kind words too :D
 
Re: ★★ The Young American ★★ (Update #10 Tank,Crank,and Pedals)

Bikes looking real darn good. Waiting to see what Red/White/Blue design you do on that tank.?.?
Just a suggestion look up the Star Design they had for the 1976 Bi-Centennial Celebration...
That on a white background might look good.?.?

EDIT: So I figured why be lazy, I found an example myself.
Here it is....
