Re: ★★ The Young American ★★ (Update #12 "Schwinn")

I hope I've been paying attention. The mock-up wheel is a 26" coaster that is beyond repair or too rough for the build, he wants a 26" rear coaster brake and he is looking for a 26" slick for the back.

HEY YOUNG AMERICAN , really diggin your build awesome I have always liked captain america , and of course the easy rider bike 8) 8) on the drag bars I was thinking maybe wheels from a set of skates would work good maybe even inline skate wheels , also you could get a small shock of of a car rear deck lid and that would make your drag bar apply pressure ...just a thought , and on your seat maybe don't use a seat at all maybe just a seat pan something aluminum slung low like a drag bike ...any way like you bike alot one of my favorites :!: :!: great job

Thank you very much for the kind words Tin Machine, I really appreciate it As for the wheelie bar, I'm gonna make some sort of bracket to go to connect to the seat stays some how :wink: I thought a seat pan would look cool to, but that seat was cheap and I needed one 8)

Just like an Evel Knieval Stunt BIke. Strap on of couple of rockets like Frightliner and jump the Snake River Canyon.
