1938 CWC Roadmaster Psycho Truck Conversion

[Tallbikeman]

Great looking cycletruck. Taking a bit out of the Radio Flyer tub before installation will make your cycling life easier. I own a cycletruck and had a narrow sidewalk on a local bridge that tested my cycling skills every time I crossed that bridge. If you plan to ride this in the rain some thought might be given to water drainage in you wagon tub. I really like the wagon's use as the carrier. It will be durable for all the loads that end up in a cycletrucks basket.

Yes. I’m thinking the wagon tub will be no wider than the bars. Narrowing it about 8 inches. Good idea on the drain. I had considered a magnetic attachment for easy removal of cargo. Its been a fun project thus far. Should be almost ready to pedal this week.

This afternoon, I started on the carrier support and finished welding the gussets. I changed the stem over to a free style tuffneck so I wouldn't have any issues with interference from the brakes. So now the cable runs down through the steerer and out bottom of fork. No issues now. Next was to form the braces for the rack. Pretty straight forward. Tomorrow I will fab the forward mounting support and establish angle of the cargo. I tore down one of my kids radio flyer. Now that they are 21 and 22, I don’t think they will miss it. I’m going to section and reweld the tub to a more practical dimension. I’m also considering taking the left overs from the wagon and turn it into a tow along keg carrier.

Man you really crank up your building speed while i'm still here...

It would be nice to cut it to size and keep the graphics.

 

[hamqqea]

You sure got some goodies on there! Lost two tufnecks in a box my old man got rid of why I hesitate to look.

Had to backtrack to your OP to realize your intentions. Tight!

I know it’s going pretty quick, but I have another I want to enter as well when I’m done with this one.

Yes. I loved down hilling before I got seriously messsed up going over a 12 ft granite drop. Thankfully, I was wearing this under my jersey. I still get out from time to time, wifey makes me wear it to keep hospital expenses down. I have broken ribs over a dozen times.

 

[Bike from the Dead]

Anybody want to place bets on how soon @Palepainter finishes this bike? Because daaaaang! You're cycle-truckin' through this build!

I have broken ribs over a dozen times.

I had cracked a few over the years and finally broke four at once two years ago. A sucky ordeal at best that I can do without the rest of my life.

Took a few hours this afternoon and finalized mounting brackets. Now to shape them and add some holes for weight reduction. Then on to mounting box. I pulled my daughters wagon tub into shop and sectioned it 8 inches. Fits a case of beer and tackle box nicely.
Sprayed the Kookas with heavy duty oven cleaner to strip the purple. Now for some polishing and detailing. Next step will the real test to see if it will handle the case of beer properly. Wheel decisions to make this week.

Enough room for beer and ice!

Mountain bikers usually drink it warm and dirty. And shaken, not stirred. Cold and shaken seems like luxury!
