I bought the Skeleton at menards on the clearance rack, the cranks and sprocket are from a 2005 BFK Stingray as are the handle bars. The wheels, seat, wheelie bar, springer fork, tires, and other new parts are all sponsored by Raleigh Ron's Classic's. I am not really sure this is exactly the kind of thing everyone is into, but tiss the season you know! lol
 
P.S. I call this one "DEATH PROOF" it started as a Huffy Rail as they are longer than a 24" but are 20" bikes. :D
 
I'm thinking of a cool red LED light set for this...ha ha.

Too bad the skeleton doesn't glow in the dark...that would make for one wild night rider. :shock:
 
I think we should have a Skele-bike build off!.........You just showed everyone how easy it is. NICE!
 
Actually, I did an autopsy on this skeleton and found a bicycle! lol :p

Yeah, I wanted to post this on the Rat Rod build off but it was over. I am not sure if I can add it on the next build off or not? :x

It is easy to build, the skeleton is like some kind of foam.
 
Cool! Maybe someone should propose a Halloween buildoff. :D That might produce some really neat bikes.

Yeah, I think if Fire is involved it could be fun! lol Kind of a Ghost Rider theme!

I have been thinking of doing that on our forum too, but most of the guys there are into more original stuff like I am. We have a Bike of the Month contest every month, and this month is Halloween bike themes. :p

The bad part is if they do a bike build off for every holi-day then it might get weird! Imagine,,, Christ-mas bikes, Valentines Day Bikes, or easter? lol
:lol:

I think lights in the eye sockets might be cool!

I think they have a glow in the dark or a reflective aerosol paint now, I might do that!

I sell a rflective nigh glow tire now, i will post them if anyone might be interested. Thanks....

Here's an idea of how the skull might look lit up from inside, just used a regular led bike tail-light;

That bike looks like a great porch decoration, but you'd probably have to lose a few ribs and move the arms forward to ride? Doesn't look like theres enough room for knees and feet as is. Cool anyway 8)

No, its fully rideable. I am ove 6' tall and manage ok on it. I didn't want to just build a display bike, I want to ride it in this years parades in town. The arms pivot when the handle bars turn too. lol :D
