Olli you do some awsome work! Your builds are always inovative and well executed. I would love to see you do a boardtrack style bike.

Here you go :D

This bike I call "The 20's Bike" It was boardtrack/old bicycle inspired built. I made it when I was in Slovenia for exhange.
I didnt have any good place to work so I needed to build it in my "living room" at 5th floor in my one room apartement.

I collect every kind a abandoned bicycle junk from the city. I think there is parts more than 10 bikes. Frame is old
Yugoslavian ROG woman's bike, where I did cut front of the frame off and turned it upside down. Welding I did in
local art school (all transportation I did whit bicycles ;) ) I painted it back yard of my apartement.. Rims are old mountain
bike ones, on rear I spoked one speed coaster brake hub. Tires are 26" Shwable FatFrank Cremes.

In "garage":

Handle bar I imported in my suitcase from Finland, its real old from 40's. Later on
I turned it upside down to get more racing feeling.

Nowadays because of Red Oxide build, bike is whitout wheels waiting better times.

Truly a work of art.

As will be your body when it greets the front of a bus after failing to stop on this brake-less bike.
 
You have a great eye for what looks great while keeping it simple. Your photographs are outstanding. And I am sure your coaster brake will keep you safe too!
