This is going to be my first project this year. I had this frame laying around for years now and decided to give it a try.
the basis: PG-Bikes "Clyde" frame. I designed these for PG-Bikes some years ago. About 20 to 30 were built at this time.
the inspiration: I'm into "bombas" for years now and always wanted a bike with the lines of a bomba.
the first sketch:
got a very rare 30s ADLER-sickle-fork:
lets see what I want to do. 8)
- seat tube will be removed,
- BB shell goes in the downtube
- saddel will be mounted a few inches towards the rear to the frame
- forks will be converted into somewhat like a suspension fork
- the skirts and fenders will be molded from fiberglass
so, hier gings mal 'n bischen weiter.
first I got to the fork and tried to add a suspension.
this is just a mockup to get things working - will be changed for something more slick and "original" looking.
