Electra Bicycle Pics

My Electra tigershark:

 

[BarnesTO]

The recently completed Octavio MkII, built from a brand new 2012 Rat Fink that I traded most of the original Octavio for. The only parts carried over are the rear wheel and seat and it's ALL Electra save for the Behind Bars fork and Dirty Dog Reaper stem. Here's the story of the original build and evolution to the finished bike alongside its six string sister build and finished in nitro lacquer by yours truly and striped by Jimmy C in 2011.

There are a TON of pics here of the build progress, hope you like what you see!

Feel free to check out my photostream, you can see my khaki Courier (stay tuned, a few more mods in the pipeline), my daughter's Super 72, and dearly departed bikes like my first Electra, a Boney Finger (stolen), 2010 NBB Felt, and his and hers Super Deluxes.... http://www.flickr.com/photos/23228900@N07/

Bought a new bike 8)

Which means my old bike is up for sale :shock:

Keep them both if you can afford to and you have the room, they are completely different animals. My courier hasn't gotten much love lately but I plan on getting a front rack for it very soon. So far I've added a seven speed and along with a rack I'd like a front drum like yours.... Very nice collection you've got there, I've always admired that mint green rockabilly conversion, very tasteful.

Thank You I'd love to keep both, but I need more space and more cash.. I have 3 bicycles at home right now (2 mine + borrowed Townie Art for my gf), which is two more than my place can normally handle :lol:

I just picked up myself my first Electra, a 'Custom' with alloy frame, 24x3 fattio up back and 26" up front. Mint condition, apparently about 7 years old.

This first pic is how it looked when I picked it up.

As soon as I got home I took the mudguards and the chainguard off, and swapped the bars for something with less sweep. It feels and rides great, but I'd like to ditch the triple clamp forks for something lighter and less 'motorbikey'.

I picked up this Ghostrider over the weekend. Changed out the wheels for a set of Felt 24/26s with whitewalls. Also changed the seat.
