Built on the theme of the 8th annual Midwest Bicycle Fest.
I provided the frame, fork, fabrication and assembly. The rear rack was something I found in the free pile at the Midwest Bicycle Swapmeet earlier this year, it was in pretty bad shape but I found a use for it. The fork... my take on a faux springer, it has many pieces from the hardware store, plus I used a scrap piece of sheetmetal off of a Honda hood to make the spring cups, the part of the fork that braces the truss rods is made out of three separate pieces of a Volkswagen Swingaxle Transmission brace kit. Truss rods are Brake lines provided by O'Reily's. The chainguard is a customized stock unit made by welding in a scrap of oval tubing at an angle. The setback seatpost is made from two different seatposts, and part of a crank, its plenty stout!
Many thanks to those that donated parts, ideas or help! it was greatly appreciated!
All it takes is ONE ticket to win!.... but I HIGHLY suggest you get more than that.... many more!
