Burrito Con Cebollas...

[margo]

Started as a 63 Schwinn ladies frame and a 70's-80's (?) Iverson ladies Grand Touring...

Cut the Iverson apart and have a rough layout on the floor...

The sketch of what I am hoping it will resemble once I am finshed :mrgreen:

Will have a 3-speed rear with a "shoulder breaker" suicide shifter, hopefully a nice double springer in the front, custom seat/pan, and some sheet metal paneling inside the main frame.

Hope you like.

Needs a flame job instead of those scallops.

The scallops will be cutout (rather than painted on) and the gaps will probably be larger for the sake of saving bit of weight...maybe plasma some flames in instead...hmmm.

Mmm burrito and onions!

Man you ruined that girls Schwinn. You could have done this viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7392&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=d&hilit=ugly :lol:

Looks like your off to a good start. Ought to look pretty cool when you're done.

He didn't cut up the Schwinn, and what's wrong with Burrito Bikes? I "ruined" a Schwinn Hollywood frame, and a Schwinn Suburban frame to make my Burrito Bike. I like sawing up Schwinns because the tubing is thicker, and the seatposts are the right diameter for internal sleeves. The more you cut up the more valueable intact ones become.


Oh. I get it now. <engages sarcasm detector>

Yes my attempt at being funny.

I need to pay closer attention.
You're right the Schwinn hasn't been cut up... yet.

After much thought, and even more beer, I have another plan for the girls schwinn. It won't end up getting cut (too drastically) afterall, though the frame is going to get altered a bit. Once I am done with the burrito, it will be my next projett. I figured that I could fab the rest of the frame for the burrito and not have to "destroy" the Schwinn to complete it

Finally managed to get some more work done on the frame...used gas pipe to form the new top tube and belly tube. Formed the seat tube around to meet the seat stays, and got the hook put in the down tube. Will try to fab up some chainstays tomorrow, and then the welding begins...

CBC hydraulic tube bender for tube work

Wiedemann Centrum 2000Q turret punch press for flat part sheet metal work

Megobal 35 Ton hydraulic press brake for forming sheet metal work

Miller Syncrowave 250 TIG welder for stitching it all together.

Nice part about working in the metal fabrication industry . :mrgreen:

 

[OUTLAW]

A few update photos of the "Cebollas"...

79" wheelbase with about 2"-2.5" of clearance under the belly.

I also managed to butt the two fenders from the Iverson together to make a streetsweeper style rear fender, and used the rear fender of the Schwinn for the front. Will fab a new bracket to mount the headlight at some point.

As far as the framework goes, I will try to cut and bend a top tube for it tonight, then all that is left is trimming the chainstays and welding the thing together.

 

[margo]

Framework is most of the way done. Need to weld in bottom bracket hanger, seat post tube, and gussets...took it down the driveway and out into the street, and I actually got it to flip a U-turn in half the street width. Ended up at 78" wheelbase and 3" clearance.

 

[ExtraBlaze]

Very cool.

 

[margo]

The newest photo. Frame with cranks mounted...only needs gussets, and will be ready for paint.

 

[OUTLAW]
