Big Red

[stretch]

So this is Lil' Red's big brother obivously.. Big Red. was a varsity frame bought on the cheap($10 woo!). the way i invisioned it, it just had to have a jackshaft and it had to sit as low as possible. so here it is. its pretty comfy, but after a while not so much. :lol: i have a nameplate in the works, just have to finished the 'striping. total the bike has cost me.. about $48. :mrgreen:

thanks guys, it really gets attention. always freaks people out when it scraps, but i like it. and the chainring is interesting now that you mention it.. its off a huffy radio bike. no joke. found one in the woods but thats all i got to salvage off it. and when i rode it down to the woodward dream cruise(im pretty sure everyone knows what that is :wink: ) some guy actually stopped me, and now wants me to build him one.

nice 8)
I see you built another one (I haven't been on here for awhile). I finished mine but the paint was just barely dry when I had an offer I couldn't refuse, so off to a new home she went.

 

[stretch]

yeah i know how that goes. built a fixie and about three weeks later, the last i saw of it, it was in the back of a red toyota truck with a bronze peoget(sp?) fixie. :wink:

 

[ElChupacabra]

Great lines. Would love to have one of those or a stretch. Cant decide which I like better....

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

jackshafts are the nugget. that's a sweet ride.

 

[stretch]

thanks guys. the jackshaft is actually the only thing that scrapes on the ground. the bottom tube is about 2" off the ground, and the BB is about..3/4". :lol:

yeah i know how that goes. built a fixie and about three weeks later, the last i saw of it, it was in the back of a red toyota truck with a bronze peoget(sp?) fixie. :wink:

that was the first of 4 bikes that went to new homes within 24 hrs of completion, I have 2 people coming to look at a FreeAgent bmx tomorrow and then I'm going to follow up on a lead for 4 bikes tomorrow night.
