3 speed racer

[Markm]

Flightliner frame, drop bars with innertube "wrap". Gonna try the Nexus with the Sweet SA shifter from Kota (thanks!). Rollfast sprocket, Kenda $4 tires, NOS Persons auction find seat, shorty fender. Need to shorten the chain a bit. Thinkin maybe a chrome chainguard and chrome half-tank plate.

[Rat Rod]

Cool!

The bars almost look like cyclocross style because they flare out a bit. The stickshifter is cool!

Need a chain guard like this?

nice clean lookin ride , i must say , it looked a lot faster with the 10speed bars , and that was cool what ya did with the inner tubes for handle wrap ( looked pretty good ) .

made some truss rods from some scraps. Some wall/partitions at work have LONG bolts running through them so I grabbed a few, some electrical connectors, some acorn nuts and a couple of springs I had lying around. Bent, cut and they turned into this...

 

[Markm]

threw some exercise bike pedals on and changed the grips...

done for now.... :mrgreen:
