BO15 COMPROM15E

[Vin-New]

I’ve had this sittin for years and could never decide what to build it. I like the old road bike look but also the cruiser look, so I’m Compromising within myself
Hence build name: COMPROM15E

Sweet bike; I have an old collegiate sitting around. Very similar bike. I’ve got the same idea.... do some sort of funky road, gravel, racer, cruiser sort of deal....

I’m looking forward to see what you do with this!!

I forget how tedious the breakdown is with all the cables and clamps, etc!

Dig the frame! Keep the progress coming!
RaT oN~!

I think I’m done for the day, starting to get windy and cold outside. I was disappointed trying to mount 26” fat tires couldn’t clear the width of frame and had to use some 24” fatties to just mock up, still not any sidewall clearance, and couldn’t remove the rear fender, will continue tomorrow, bummed. I do like the smaller radius wheels on it so I may stick with 24’s!

Hope you're not intending to run on tires in a state like that...

It won’t even roll
I have some 24” midweight tires somewhere, going they are a bit thinner to clear.

Oh man! Now you’re going to have to Comprom15e with the tires!?

Made some progress today, I removed the rear fender without ruining it, was able to swap out the tires for barely enough clearance! I was playing with a few handlebar options and possibly trusses.
I’m thinking I need a springer, may try the beehive or monark springer next weekend.
I only have time on weekends.

I roll on tires like that all the time! Those are just getting broken in!

I’d try to find a way to clearance the frame to run those fattys!

The rims and fatty tires look good with the BMX bars. Solid

Last nights attempt to put a beehive on build, neck is just a bit too long but it will work for now, I’ll have to make some kind of extender to stabilize it.

 

[Vin-New]

The wife said the beehive clashed because it was a bit too different and told her imagine it as one color or matching so did a B&W photo to show her and she agreed with me, it works!

Lets see if this chain guard will work...

That chainguard is wild looking! What is it off of?

 

[Vin-New]
