Check out choppersus.com

chopperus has only one silver 24x2.5 rim. I tried to order 2 and they called me and said they wont have more untill the end of the summer.

Yeah the rims are from ChopperUS.com They only had silver earlier this year when I ordered and I couldn't wait, so I had the silver ones powder coated. Someone asked about an offset spocket: nope, standard sprocket. Eight speed hub? I imagine it would fit. Dunno, never seen an eight. Only seven, four and three.

Nexus has an eight speed hub, mostly found over here on citybikes. Juicy fat hubs they are, but I just don't see the point when they also have the seven speed ? I hardly ever get beyond fifth gear anyway :lol:

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Ive been eyeing up those rims for months but was worried about the chain clearence. I didnt want to take the chance of messing up a perfect bike but i love those fat rims!! Awesome i'll be gettin the black 2.5 rims as soon as they come in.

Ithink 2.5" is the limit for not needing the offset sprocket. A friend of mine has a 3" wide wheel and the whitewall was getting chainmarks on it until he got the offset (although he may never have noticed with a black tire! :roll: ).

[BarnesTO]

Not sure, but never hurts to ask them!

[ratdaddy]

most excellent! Looks fantastic. I've always like the streetsweepers, and it just adds to the overall look to the bike. I would own that bike right there.

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

I really like the design of those frames. Looks 'tough' to me for some reason. Maybe it's the way the seatstays attach lower on the frame, I dunno.
What I do know, me likes that bike!! Me WANTS that bike!

 

[Ace]

Wow, that's a great finish, wel done 8) all it needs is a RRB sticker on the chainguard :mrgreen:

These frames have about 2" longer wheelbase compared to the later ones, Electra should never have changed them.

 

[badmuller]

you are right they should have never changed it, but then again, maybe this is one of the later modern frames that has become sort of a youngtimer in bikeland, in a few years it could be in the classic range. :lol: :lol:

the "ratrodbikes" sticker would be a nice option yes,
funny that no one has mention that one yet in my litle "not for hire" contest.
I'll just wait and see what people come up with.

 

[Ace]

I'll bring you one at the FBI, see if you like it. Who's afraid of some more red, black & white ? :mrgreen:
