Big Wheel (Class 2)

[Glen]

More wheel center ideas guys.

I like the second combo, but what about a 12 spoke look for the front... like the old drag cars.

Following Carl and Glen, I like the mag looking wheel in the lower right. And Glen's adaptation on the front.

Too early here to have any original ideas. Early in the morning I mean....

I'll take the colder temps vs all that rain we've had over the past two weeks. Bring on the dry(er) air!

Any progress on the frame end of things yet?

 

[barnbikes]

Frame looks great in my brain. Just have to make it work in steel.

 

[kingfish254]

I vote for a mag wheel vibe as well.
Killer tires man!!!!

 

[barnbikes]

Work has slowed down any bike progress lately.
Have this women Evans frame hanging in the corner of the garage. Might be useful.

Thinking I will stretch and rake it some.


Picked up an after market steering wheel and a 70s Hurst shifter lately. Steering might make it on but the clunky shifter will probably stay on the wall.

Goal is to keep the bottom tube about 3 or 4 inches off the ground.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

C'mon, you know I love this!

 

[barnbikes]

Went dumpster diving at the recycling center and found 2 parts off of a portable closet (rear tire framing) and the seat from and old school chair.

 

[barnbikes]

Cut the tubes today.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

I love repurposing old curved tubes, really enjoying watching this build happen!

 

[moleman]

Am I doing something wrong? I can't see any of the pictures in this thread, and I really want to!

 

[barnbikes]

Not sure why the pictures don't work.

Will try and reload.

 

[barnbikes]

Oh yeah almost forgot. Cut the wheel centers today. One for the front and two go in the back.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Really looking forward to seeing more of this!
I know your skill with the laser cutter, so expecting good things!

 

[OddJob]

The wheels will be the 'center' of attention that's for sure!

 

[barnbikes]

Life has been really busy lately.

Using google for picture hosting but the pictures disappear after a day or so.

Here is the semi-finished front wheel.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

You do know that you don't need picture hosting here at all. You can post direct.

 

[barnbikes]

Figured it out.

 

[OddJob]

Got the kerosene heater warming your space? She's a chilly one out there tonight.

 

[barnbikes]

Would take a lot more then that.

 

[OddJob]

Would take a lot more then that.

Possibly a coal burner the size a locomotive engine requires?
