My new project for the BBO on CBN. The "Super Cruiser"
I was going to wait to post it when it was done, but I took her out for a test ride tonite and Man o Man was it a blast. I have lots more to go, bottom section to be built and a few other goodies. :lol:
Any other Tallbikers out there?

Hey Seca40, Thank you!
That's exactly what I want it to do....Make people smile and laugh when they see it rolling down the street.
Wait 'til you see the finished product, I have a few more "silly" ideas for it. And as far as being safe, I made this one pretty rider friendly (believe it or not) You can get on and off from the lower pedal stroke, unlike a few others I have ridden.

Budzillas Pixie Hauler was the bike that got me thinkin' about building one. Thanks Budz, I think.
That would be cool to cruise side by side on the two of them......Someday maybe.

That's really cool Kenny. Anxious to see what surprises you have up your sleeve for it.

Any other Tallbikers out there?

Here's a couple I've built...

 

[chimichanga]

Way back when I was a youngster I was reading the old sientific american magazines from the 1890-1903 and I saw a bicycle used to light gas street lamps, a 1890 tallbike. I figured I had to make one of those so I took a english 3 speed and flipped the frame upsidedown , moved the sprockett to the other side, welded a chunk of pipe on for a seatpost. I made a 3 foot long gooseneck for the handlebars. I climbed up on a fence to mount it and took off for town no brakes loose seat wobbly handlebars, I almost made it to town before I hit a bump and the rear wheel came out the dropouts were pointing straight up. It wasn't the first time I had to walk home carrying the parts of my bike bleeding. I think that old bike is out in my barn somewhere. I built a much better one in 1995 that I still ride, been on several bike tours with it some were 150 miles long. It has several sound devices bells horns no whistles the big bell is a 8" crane bell, makes the cars stop at RR crossings.

Now, whenever i see threads about tallbikes, i think about this thread i read in the "best of" section of craigslist:
http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/min/282079400.html
:lol:

 

[ratdaddy]

that craigslist posting was awesome. It sounds as though someone has an inferiority complex and low self-esteem. It made laugh. The way it was written was quite nice even amongst the bitterness held within.

Got the tank template in today, gotta have a tank right?

 

[aka_locojoe]

Tank/plate will look good.
That must be the luggage compartment down below.
