9 foot cruiser "Finished for Now"

[Dangler]

Here are a few pictures of my current project.
It's a Micargi frame that I found on E-Bay.
First is a basic mock up with the stock frame.

I couldn't leave this thing factory so, I cut the factory 5 inch head tube off and replaced it with a 7 incher leaned back an additional 20 degrees.

I added a set of US Choppers 36" forks.
I was very pleased with the quality on these.

Now besides body work and paint,I need to find a seat and decide what wheels to put on this thing.

Back at it.
Cut the rear chain stays off and spread and re-angled them.

Bent a new bottom tube.

Removed the factory bottom tube and seat tube.

Reassembled to check fit on everything.

Now I need to figure out how I am going to cap the lower tube and some sort of kick stand.

That new bottom tube made the whole difference. Sweet lines on it now!

I just ordered up some new wheels and tires for this project.
26"x2.3" They should be here early next week.

Cap the lower tube with a spike of some sort. Down there in front of the crank it wouldn't pose any danger to you or others and would look pretty cool with the stretched out chopper look.

Re: 9 foot cruiser

some wine corks or just a big one could work as a cap

Bike looks sick, what kind of tires are those? I especially like the rim color choice against the black.

Wheels and tires are off of a Huffy Panama Jack Ladies Bike.
I had ordered a Huffy Big Daddy for the redline tires and wheels but they were out of stock.
So, I went to my local Walmart for look and found these.

Re: 9 foot cruiser "New Rollers"

I like the lines of this a lot but I have a suggestion. How about moving the seat back against the rear tire and lower to the frame? I know it might be hard to reach the pedals but would look awesome! It's coming along great though. I can't wait to see more!

This was already on my mind.
I just finished moving the seat mount back and down.
It actually makes it a little more comfortable to ride.
I'll put some pics up when I get home from work.

Flipped the seat tube over and moved it back 1.5"

Capped the lower tube.

Thanks for the compliments.
I don't really think you need my permission to build something similar.
Cut it up and make it yours. :wink:

Re: 9 foot cruiser "New Rollers"

I just put on a temporary rattle can paint job in a flat burgandy.
This spring I will strip it back down for body filler and a proper paint job.
