I told you somewherelse that I was having a lot of ideas after looking at the building contest.
So... I took apart the green "overnight bike", snatched that old mbt my dad had rusting, picked an example from the contest (la cucaracha - thank you mr. builder) and started working yesterday.
Here's what it looks like now:
First some inspiration and a scketch:

So..
I decided to call it the Fat Man because the top tubes I am using are alittle bit large, and that gives it a fat look. It has a 26" wheel in the front and a 24" in the rear.
After finishing the welding and grinding, I'll have to decide the color. Probably mate black. Red rims, white side walls, Hot rod look.
I'll be ordering all the parts (tires, coaster, etc) from Chopper Monster in Barcelona.
I also have a 3 speed shifter I'll be instaling, but all in good time.
Thank you all.
Godspeed
