Apple-atcha Crate'r

[metalchewy]

Planning on 26-in wheels. Through these twenties on there to get a seat and handlebar swapping.
I'm almost leaning toward these wheels and tires. The seat sissy bar and ape hangers will remain for sure.View attachment 249499
The seat is John Deere.

I put one of those ACS mags on 'that blue bike' a couple MBBO's ago. Clear coated and painted the fins.

They are light and wheelie well.

I kind of like the grubby tires on the clean rim, but all that black tape needs tidying up though

 

[KJV]

Put darker gray primer on the forks . Freshened up the hubs with satin black .

All thoughts, comments, & suggestions .. are encouraged, and will be taking into consideration.

This cycle will be used for short 2 to 5 mile roundtrips .. on asphalt, gravel, grass and dirt.

 

[KJV]

Here's the chain guard that's going on it. I didn't take any pictures before I primed on it

 

[KJV]

Need: saftey keeper tabs..

this was 1st bike: I put set of these wheels on out of the 25 that came in on the truck then. That's been probably about 12 years ago. Had 2.125 all black tires on then.

Dig the name, KJV! You know me, words are my game! Apple'atcha?

Also really like that seat. The squared back and lifted up and white center stripe give it a real racy look. I don't remember if the green tires are keepers, but if you do, maybe go with a monochrome paint in different shades of green for a 'green apple'atcha '.

And now, some 'hills' music as a tribute to your build...

 

[KJV]

Going to see aboit : 24/20 combo
I'll have to check it out when I get back around there to work on this build again.

 

[KJV]

Ok so: i sqeez da 3" tire onto: narrow lowrider rim. 24x3/20x1.75

 

[KJV]

Next : position seat 3" rearward.

 

[KJV]

Well: while cutting on ribeye at supper...

I figure I better put a better gripping Tire on the front; better control on the terrain where this bike will be ridden.
Rear tread:

Front tread:

Side View: 2.125 on frnt.

Next: position seat back 3".
Ffigure out what 36t sprocket that I'm going to use .

 

[KJV]

Grabbed the plates to set seat back 3".

 

[KJV]

Okay, now: have the seat set back 3 in. Wanted it to set as low as possible, and have leg room to Pedal.

That’s is a super simple solution

Reminds me of how I did my layback on Simple Green

Yep, done the same thing on two other muscle bike builds in the past.: Murray Missle, & i think .. Mad Murray.

That's not a bike anymore, it's a unicycle with a training wheel! Looks so cool with the seat slammed down and all the way back

 

[KJV]

Picked up the license plate:

 

[KJV]
