Ready for the soda blaster

That is just gonna make it all sticky with Coke.

 

[tucker]

Yes it may be sticky, but it will save a month of sanding

 

[tucker]

Waiting on the soda blaster. Not much happening on the build right now. I did find some different wheels and tires I think I am going with. I will be out of town for the next two weeks. Have fun.

Man, gotta LOVE them handlebars!!

Looks like a ton of fun, but i would be curious to see that thing with say, 16" wheels and a 3.5" crankset and tiny chainwheel...

 

[tucker]

Thanks for your suggestions, at this time I have no 16 wheels in stock. I think with 16 wheels it would not need a crank, it would become a strider bike. I have a bike with short cranks and I look like a cartoon character riding it (way to many cranks to get it going). thAnks

I am feeling ya man!

Just a fun thing I have done with full sized frames, and this one seems extra full!
That frame looks like a blast!

What tires are those? They look great. I am thinking about some clay red tires for a bike.

 

[tucker]

The tires very red they say EASY GLIDE on them they are 26 by 2.125. They were in the tire bin

 

[tucker]

They also say a EVO

 

[tucker]

Ok the parts are back from the blasters, a quick touch up and they are ready for paint.

Starting to assemble today

Dang! That yellow frame turned out perfect. And the red clay tires look great on there.

I was waiting on decals, they finely arrived. When I first got the frame I was going to paint it Chrysler plum crazy purple. That’s why I named it Barracuda. I had it planed right down to the mopar valve caps. But as I worked on it I wanted a lighter color. Here it is all finished.

 

[Captain Awesome]

That's rad

 

[OddJob]

Very cool! On this site with all the creativity here, it's really hard to build something that has a unique vibe and look. You have acheived that !

I thought you named it barracuda because it was long n sleak.
