that bike is lookin' AWESOME !!
Hooooooooch! i love that bike u got MAD SKILLS!
Very Cool!!!
ok after much internal debate with the multiple personalities within my mind I switched tires to brick red vintage looking tires after looking at tons of old board trackers almost all the pics I see have colored tires from the era
and I got my leaf spring today! so now all I need is a few more parts to arrive and see if I can make this springer!
I will detail the whole springer build (if it works) and add it to the how to section
but the second pic gives you a feel how it will look and by adding the missing pieces the front tire will move about 3 inches forward and 2 inches down making the clearance needed for the front tire
my basement lighting and the dark walls make these pics look much oranger than they are so when I take pics outside it should all look more natural
couldn't afford white tires like this

It just keeps gettin better!!!
those tires are perfect, and i like the reversed seat post to fit the shifter, and lengthen the stance of the rider. good idea.
I love the Spring Idea..

Looking good Hooch!!!..

These bike look great! The tires, the paint, it's amazing!
Great work, and I'm using a 4 speed hub too.

I am debating on how many to use I think it would look more correct with the 3 but even wit my fat arse thats way overkill lol and actually this short lil leaf spring is heavy it might make it to top heave for a kickstand so I wont really know til I put it together
lets see $1750 for this
or make my own with these pieces lol

How thick are your leafs on the springs and do you know what they are off of? Have you checked to see if any metal yards have any spring metal that is like 1/16" thick to make your own leafs? That would save weight plus be more functional. Just trying to throw some suggestions out there. I know how stiff those leaf springs are. Troy
