Re: cheapie

Congrats on your exams!
Are you still planning to cut the bracket? If so, I think it's alowed. Sometimes you just have to do these things to make mismatched parts fit. Like I did on my build-off bike :wink:
Those headlights are nice! What are they?
 
Re: cheapie

Re: cheezy board tracker

Looking good, I like the whole project.

The solution for that crank will be an even shorter one- you need one from a Jr Stingray or a Lil Chik or a Bantam. (Or one of Schwinn's other kids bikes.) They're like 4" or 4.5" cranks and will work fine and look right.

Let me know if you don't find one locally, I'm sure I have a couple.

As someone who did a 20" bike with extended dropouts-lowering-thing a couple years ago, just make sure everything is strong and solid.

20" Ross with extended rear triangle and small crank, also a second sprocket mounted on left side. (No need for a kickstand if you have a block of wood handy!)
 
Re: cheezy board tracker

Forget what I said about the handlebars :shock: They look killer from that angle :eek: Keep up the good work :wink:

Re: cheezy board tracker

Really cool build you've got.
How do those brackets on the rear wheel work?
Isn't the chain gonna pull it forward while peddaling?
Congratulations
