Lets see some 24" lovin

Anyone here build up any 24" rat bikes, like Typhoons? Here's a 63' Typhoon I'm building for a local RRB build off.

Recently went through this 24" Rollfast for my son. He wanted a vintage ride, with lots of patina. I pulled this out of the desert, almost complete, and so we greased it up for him, and he loves it.

This thing is SICK.!!!
I would agree on the stem and bars change but I would also go for a bmx forks and remove the chain guard.. Maybe consider some bmx pedals also and a Brooks cruiser saddle too..
Love the look on this cruiser.. I want to see what you do with this thing..

Thanks a lot. but as you can see i like them old stuff so pedals and fork will stay stock. Maybe if i get to find a BMX fork 1" for 24" wheels i´ll change it. And an updated picture

I am going to paint the stem, got some white leather grips, and white chain coming for it. Gonna touch it up with some paint pin stripes around the outside edge of the rims

That looks so kool.!!!
Don't get me wrong I like the way it looks and everyone has there own likes in there builds.. I personaly would had these changes if I had a chance to play with the build.. Those bars made a big change in the look on this cruiser..

I totally understand, and i like your thinking. and to be honest you made me looking for a new fork

Good thing about building bikes is that you can always go back to origenal.. Unless you cut it up and butcher it up..

going original is no plan for me, i´m too lazy to find all parts. The bike was found on the local junkyard and the wheels as well but next bike is going under the grinder and welding machine

These were my Grandsons.

Here´s another picture with the latest update, bar/stem combo. Now i´m looking for a 24" BMX fork as "araya51" suggested, thanks i really understand why you mentioned it but so far it´s a pretty cool bike to cruise around on

 

[Araya51]

That cruiser is looking good "riverstream".. I had some 24" bmx forks that would had been perfect for your cruiser but I traded them.
Check on PorkChops.com to see if they have some forks your bike or eBay. If I see some I'll send you some info..

Cool bike, but I think it deserves a better set of bars than those GT/Dynos. I would probably throw some chrome Schwinn Freeform bars on, myself.
