Maybe one more

[Uncle Stretch]

Bigblockthing thanks ,its a long way from Pearland to Cleveland....might just have to look at the pictures :lol:

Yep Sensor I been working my poor little fingers to the bone on this one. Really I start them and they sort of build themselves. I stand around and wave my hands alot. I had a tank I was going to use ,but this thing is heavy enough. I was thinking about drilling lots of those speed holes in it now. :lol: :lol: :lol:

So Steve now my builds have a soundtrack huh? Sure hope I can find some kind of seat and grips to finish it. I think everybody should get together and force Schwalbe to make a seat and grips to match their tires. I found some tiger print ones :lol:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Just found out after two years ,my silly camera drops the resolution on the pictures everytime you change the rechargeable batteries. All this time I thought it was my wife ....or that pug....everybody knows a pug cant be trusted. :lol:

Ok this picture is not any better...maybe its photobucket doing this in an effort to get me to buy more bandwidth. I think its a plot.

[Uncle Stretch]

hey unc, how about we both start riding and meet halfway somewhere?

Hummm let me see that would be somewhere in Kentucky I think. I would be easy to recognize ...I would be the one with the oxygen mask and suffering from sever dehydration. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Ok this is funny. Really a week or so in a shop ....or laying in the gravel of a driveway and anybody can build one of these. It looks nice ,but hey I'm no magician. This is so simple it hurts. My problem is ..I really lack creativity. I can see something and build it , but my design ability is lacking. I draw up a bunch of pictures and go back and look and they all look the same. :lol: 47 huh? man we could hang out and mess up some pipe...and talk about when stuff didnt hurt and we could see. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm almost wanting to see the back half of the springer painted metallic red.

That could look nice!
Lookin great!!! Kickstand looks good too!

 

[Rat Rod]

 

[Markm]

looks good with the crown left chrome!!! :mrgreen:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Actually it looks pretty good both ways. I started to paint the whole springer red. It does balance it out , but then it looks like a chrome springer with it silver. Kinda a toss up

 

[Rat Rod]

I agree, it could go either way.

 

[Ace]

Man that looks classy 8) I hope those bars are long enough Uncle. Can't wait to see the yellow, orange and red bike in one shot to see how they compare sizewise and such. Quite a collection this is turning into, one day they will end up in some museum, you'll see ! :mrgreen:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Thats funny Ace ...Someday they will wind up in a garage sale or a garbage dump . They look cool ,but are nothing special. When I find a seat and some grips I'll trot them out front and get a shot of all three. My bikes are all about the same length wise, because I build them to fit me. The bars are short , but It was the last piece of 7/8 pipe I had. I'll build another set. Really wasnt much to it.

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

This bike has so many cool lines and influences in it. There's evidence of Spaceliners, Basman, J.C. Higgins, Monark, Euro-chopper, even Burrito/recumbent.
There's something that would appeal to a whole host of enthusiasts.
Beautiful, simply beautiful, AND it's not the only one in your 'harem'. :mrgreen:

Cheers!
Dr. T

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Thanks Dr T. I think on my builds that every bike I have looked at has a small design part in it. I'm influenced by what I like that others do.

 

[ratina]

Looks awesome! Love the red! I like the fork better with the back half painted.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Ratina I'm probably going to paint the whole fork. We got rain for the next few days ,so any painting is out.

Uncle Stretch,

This is simply one fine build. You can keep saying it's easy, but if it was, we'd all be doing it.

Thanks for sharing your creations with us, especially like me who doesn't know which end of the welder to use.

You have created another sweet bike!

 

[maddogrider]

Wow im diggin the color, but man that seat looks like a killer on the but :lol:

Thanks glad you like it. This is all just for fun. There are a bunch of guys still getting snow and if I do some builds it gives everybody something to do. I show yall all the pictures of the builds and you can see it only takes a week or so to do one....It can't be that hard :lol:

Hey maddog its for sure you wont slip off. I got a brown Nirve seat today and I glued up some grips ,so it should look better tomorrow. Mowed all my weeds and practiced scalping holes in my grass with my new weedeater....they go counter clockwise now. Kinda hard to get use to. :shock: :shock:

 

[maddogrider]

Your weed eater goes counterclockwise? I dont think i have ever had one run like that.
