That things rad, awesome job, i'm really surprised no one has duplicated this bike in 26", that would be killer.

Looks awesome! I am still waiting for someone to super-size one and retrofit some Mongoose Beast 26 x 4 wheels on it. :mrgreen:

Yep, this bike looks awesome! :!: That would be cool if someone would duplicate it in 26". 8)


I started the RRBBO8 trying to 'upsize' a Moto-bike while keeping the original frame, but ran out of time.

Here's a picture of the concept in a mock-up:

Sorry about the hi-jack, but there's not a lot of Moto-bike builds here.

The finished product looks awesome, a 26" version would be very cool.

My plan is to finish it this winter. But I also have plans to finish a '56 oval beetle so it's gonna be a challenge.

Enjoyed the thread. Very nice work. I just picked up a yellow Moto. I think 75.
What kind of wheels are on the bike you built? Any stamping on wheels or hubs? Brake arm?
Thanks. Great work!
