Broken Leg Bomber

[slick]

This is my latest build for now. It's a Colson frame. It's my favorite pub crawl speed bike,until I broke my leg on it!

But now you've got a name for the bike and a story to tell. Gonna tell the story?
Nice looking bike.

Edit: I see you did elsewhere.

really good looking bike

 

[Cameo Carrier]

Nice bike, sorry to hear about your leg though.

your bike looks great. You have inspired me to get my looptail Colson frame out and work on it. Did you powdercoat yours? The finish looks so smooth.

 

[Buck Masterson]

Could I get a close up of that tail light? What is it? I have been looking for something like that! Nice bike by the way.

the frame is just painted with spray can paint for now. I had to finish the bike for a ride so it was kind of a quickie. I'm going to redo it later. I'll add a picture of the taillight later today. Thanks for the comments guys!

Me thinks these are related.

i know what happend and it was not mechanical it was more of a liquid induced accident however not the fault of poor slick. i hear he is recovering nicely

 

[slick]

Ha! Thanks Adam. Ya, been sitting in my back breezeway all morning looking at the 5 project bikes I have trying to figure out how to balance with one crutch while holding a spraygun and turn a wrench at the same time??? Then thought maybe I should just go back inside before I hurt myself!

very nice looking bike. i got a question 4 u though, what kind of seat post is that?where did u get it?

 

[slick]

Thanks for the comments. I actually used a regular straight seat post and welded a piece of solid round stock to it. I want to put an Z bend in it to lower the seat down closer to the rear wheel but just ran out of time before the ride I took it to. I know i've been lagging taking a closeup picture of the taillight guys. Tomorrow I promise!

your also leaving us hanging on the story of said broken leg!

raise your hand if youve broken a bone on a bicycle :raises hand:

 

[GameBent]

Whenever anyone mentions broken bones, I like to share the fact that when I asked my friend if he wanted to go play frisbee golf, he said "no thanks, I don't play that anymore since I broke my arm that one time." That's always good for a laugh!!
I won't tell you how because trying to figure it out is part of the fun...
