dump tracker

[jasper87]

hi all,

I found an old racing frame with one broken wheel and bent forks in a dumpster a few months ago, so naturally i took it home and dumped it in my garage for a later time. Well this weekend was that time. A few hours of sanding, a few cans of black spray paint, a few bits and pieces i had laying around the garage, some new pedals, bar tape and a chain and this is what i came up with.

Man, that's great. Dean

Wow...if that's what you can build with some stuff you just have laying around, I'd like to see what you'd come up with if you actually planned one out!

That's one of the meanest looking diamond frame bikes we've seen here to date...great job!

Thanks, It really feels good when some hard work turns out nice and is noticed. I actually did some more work to my motorized bike too. I tried my hand at some engine turning on the left side engine case, and I found some WWII ammo bags that i had to put on my bike. Hope you like it.

I was definitely going to come to the bike party tonight but the weather doesnt look so good, i got no fenders on the bike so no bueno with rain. Small world about Chuck's shop!! did we meet or talk? Got any pics of your buddies bike? what is etc? :lol:

 

[jasper87]

thanks for the love rat rodders!! to be honest I never really liked diamond frames, too angular, its all about the curves :wink: but the frame was free so i figured i might as well try something... now im thinking about making a motorized diamond frame bike :?

 

[K4RL]

Amazing work!!!!

What size tires are you running on the track bike?

 

[jasper87]

thanks K4RL, both bikes are running 26x2.125 balloon tires, the cream ones are Felt Quick Bricks and the track bike has some Chinese knock off Schwinn Typhoon Cords.

My girlfriend and I didn't headout too cuz of the weather. Chuck is a great guy. I rode over to the shop one day on a cheap walmart motored bike, It's black and had some weak ... spokes. The bike is in bike builds "just for fun build" :

The bike's holdin' up and is in SF now. The etc. is for the small chain ring, like the one on your motoredbike, looked cool, so I put one on his bike. The crank arms are short, so the small chain made start-ups a bit easier. It looks alright.
