Easy Rider - Captain America Bike

[johnp.smith]

This is what I brought home

This was my inspiration

And a month later I have this.....

And Yes, its ridable,

Frame, crankset and wheels are stock Schwinn OCC Chopper,
Fork, stem, and tank are from a Jesse James WCC Chopper,
Handlebars, seat, seatpost, lights, kickstand, and sissybar came from Cycle Analyst,
And the tank was custom painted by the Vanilla Gorilla, Thanks Jon

Im loving this bike, the tank just arrived this morning. This bike is impossible to ride without a big smile on your face. Gotta wear the helmet too.

I have to say I'm not usually a huge fan of those stingrays but you really made it look good! They should have sold it like this.

Pretty schw-eet looking John, no wonder you were checking out my trike build Funny how 2 people can take the same bikes and think of totally different (and yet still cool custom)roads to take them down.
Those apes you used, are they double knurled where they bolt in like the schwinn bars?

I was hopin' you'd do the big, floppy cable off the handlebar, great lookin' bike!

 

[johnp.smith]

What does double knurled mean? If you are referring to the grooved part where the clamps go to, no. these bars only have the groove part for the stem to grab them in the middle. Its only needed in the middle because this is a single clamp stem that came with the same bike that the fork did.
