Gooey Syrup is finished!
Started with an "Nirve Switchblade" type frame. Eventually found an incomplete fork. With many technical parts fabricated I got this thing back together.
Parts list:
- Steel frame and fork which lay in a steel fabrication plant for over 10 years, collecting dust.
- 26 inch wheels from an 346 Basman bicycle. 26x3.0 Ruff Balloon tires. Shimano CB-E110 type coaster brake and a Shimano Rollerbrake front hub.
- Long steel fork with custom watercut and polished top crown which was missing. Custom made adapter on the fork that makes a drum/rollerbrake possible instead of a disc brake. The fork is freshly polished.
- Zundapp moped handlebar clamps.
- Front brake lever customized with an allen screw for that rough custom looks.
- Custom lasercut and painted "Coasterbrake Strongarm"!
- Paracord rear seat, a nice tryout.
- Retro 80's front lamp.
- 'M' for @MattiThundrrr chrome handlebars
- Ruff Cycles one piece crank 175mm with 'bones' chainring.
- Chaincover mounted upside-down to accommodate the lines of the chopper bike.
- Overall looks: This is a clean bicycle in near-new condition. But not too perfect, it is still a rider. Technically this bike is super-solid built.
- Ride experience: Very smooth and does not feel heavy. Sudden sharp turns are lethal with this fork, danger adds to the ride experience!

Thank you for taking a look!
Let me know if you think another photo in the set is better to use for voting.
There are more ideas that I could execute on this build, but it rides and looks great, I certainly managed to build what I was envisioning with some help of the forum members.
Thanks for a great buildoff competition everyone!
