I can do this,
I think I can
I think I can
I think I can...

9 Rob Schneiders, 1 Adam Sandler and some other random guy all think "You can do it!"

Well I did it.
Rain,wind,n cold,cycled down,spent over 1hr on the beach,it was a pleasant ride and enjoyed taking pics.

These are taken at Kalafatis Beach,wanted to have the life saving tower as a prop.

Yep she went for a swim...Covered in sand, and rained on.

Handmade(from a metal chair)
Handlebars
Seat post
Board rack + old forks

Made from wood
Grips
Seat
Fender
Box
Number plate
Pedals
Chainguard strip
Skateboard
Skimboard

Ape hangers
Front wheel is thinner than the rear.
2 out 3 (NO Banana seat)

The only thing welded on to the frame are the rear drop outs,I had no choice,as the existing ones were to thin. So that sticks me in Class 2.
The rims I found at the dump,they had been in the sea at some stage,because of the sea shells that I scraped off.

Nice job, just don't lean into those right hand turns too much! Surf's up!

Thanx RM
Plenty of clearance with that rack.I hate things that scrape etc...

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Beautiful locations, I see why you live there.
We got sticks and boonies... but mostly just corn.
Nice ride Ms. Funkme.
(I barely welded on mine too. But I'm happy 2B in C2!)

That bike looks like it's having a great time at the beach! Turned out really cool.

Yep looks like it enjoyed rolling in the surf like a wet dog.

That wave looks huge!

 

[Funkme]

That wave looks huge!

We don't get waves,but on a odd occasion because of a storm they come in,but dump onshore... Was great for skimboarding today,but at 7'c and no towel,I decided not to...

 

[Funkme]

Would like to Thank everyone involved.Had a great time.I was a bit MIA at times,work and a cr*ppy pc kept me away.But I always like to see the start and the end of the creations... Before & after then I go and check threads out.

 

[Pushie Pirate]

Great bike, love all the scratch building and cool pictures very moody!

 

[Jamie825]

Turned out great I bet it will get a lot of looks when warmer weather hits and the beach is busy. Does it ride well ? I bet you will use it a lot if you do frequent the beach a lot.

 

[c1run1]

nifty little invention you got there , incorporate that for skate boards and you got something .

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Great work Funk! You will be hard to beat!

Luke.

The bike rides great,prob better if it wasn't for the wind.The seat is up high because I am 170cm,it looks better lower.The only thing I don't like is that the crank arms are short for me,but for a kid is another story. But it is a bike you can stand up and ride. This will go to a kid I know that loves skimboarding.

That was another name I was going to use,but I'm not in Cali I guess it could have been called Mykonos Dreamin?

nifty little invention you got there , incorporate that for skate boards and you got something .

c1run1 one of the boards is a skateboard(longboard).It fits in perfect,the trucks stop it from sliding. The idea was for both,as the kids borrow my bikes and the skateboards sit on the top bar and scrape the paintwork.
So this bike is going to be a gift for one of em,and I will build another bike for the other...

 

[Schwinnspastic]

Very cool build Funkme, diggin' all the woodwork ! Hang ten!
