Lookin good! I love little details like that cool plate!

A small detail. When I got to looking closely at the top of this lantern, I really liked the graphic. I wondered if there was a way to incorporate it onto the bike?

So I cut it into a plate, and tacked it on the bottom bracket. Why not?

Great re-use there. Years from now someone is going to be searching for other Homart Explorer bikes.

Why not indeed! That looks awesome!

I really like your bike! That front rear brake is cool!

 

[blwnmny]

A work of art, looking good!

As a bonus, No worries that the generator will wear through that sidewall......EVER! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

Added a spoon brake to the rear wheel. Not sure that this is its final form. I may take off the metal foot, and place a rubber one there, so it won't rub on the tire so much. still, it now stops, when it didn't before, so that part works.

Digging that brake!
One question, where did you get those pedals? I need a set.

Seat and brake are cool.
I didn't notice those skull dropouts before.

Those pedals are off of one of those copper tone Schwinn excercycles. Those things have a bunch of cool parts on them.

Dig the spoon brake...wonder if you could just attach some old tire tread somehow

Martian is correct Dr. T. I love the Schwinn Exercise bike pedals, and use them and the majority of my builds.

Is the plan to have it rideable for the pre ride?

I want it as an option, at least. I'm thinking I may ride it for that.

 

[karfer67]

Just hope we dont do that down hill then up into old sac

 

[deven_science]

Re-did the spoon brake, and put on a rubber foot, so as to not tear up the tire.

Bonus points if you can get it to smoke
