Coppertooth

[Wildcat]

I couldn't think of a name, so 46 CWC will do. I'm starting with a 46 or 47 CWC bike, and a set of 3G wheels, rear hub converted to skiptooth. This is the oldest bike I've ever had. I have a bunch of copper things for accessories. The seat may get upholstered or be just bare pan. The biggest challenge right now is how to straighten the front fender brace.

Re: 46 CWC

I like the CWC frames, have several. Also like the curved fender stays. Good choice.

Nice frame, will you be keeping the kickstand as pictured? :lol:

Re: 46 CWC "Coppertooth"

That was just to keep it from getting mixed in with the others. I wondered if anyone would notice. Here's a closeup of the handiwork someone did to convert the driver to skiptooth:

CWC are sweet frames...I'm using the same frame for my build this year with the same copper rims and with copper accessories. Plus KingFish named my bike last year...too cool!

Re: 46 CWC "Coppertooth"

That's cool.

I like how these rims fit these frames with no mods, as long as you use 2.125 tires. The tires seem to look better too, I'm using a set of lightning darts on this build.

Those copper rims match really well to the patina of you bike 8)

Re: 46 CWC "Coppertooth"

Unfortunately, that's just a thick layer of brown paint that someone painted it some years ago. No primer used or original paint left under it. It comes off easily with a wire wheel. So, it'll be repainted, I haven't decided what color, or bare metal.

I think that rear sprocket is from a Morrow coaster brake. They supposedly invented the slot so you can replace spokes without having to take the sprocket off. Of course, now that it's welded you can put that to the test.

Nice frame. I suspect we will be seeing a lot of those copper rims in BB08 - they are sick.

Can't wait to see how this build progresses.

Re: 46 CWC "Coppertooth"

I previously checked the wheels and tires for clearance.

I don't have anything to say except... Cool!

Re: 46 CWC "Coppertooth"

I like those 3g wheels with the fenders. You said you were going to repaint it. The brown color is working pretty good with the copper so something along those lines might work good.

Re: 46 CWC "Coppertooth"

You couldn't pick a better rim color to go with the patina. Awesome build.
