lol! Yeah wasn't much of a secret I guess.
The cool thing is for $25 anyone can pick up some fenders at a Farm Implement store. Plastic but they will work. They have other sizes also. Trim with razor blade knife.

I doubt he would care. I am sure he has bigger things going on than to look at my bikes.
I actually have another George Barris Tribute bike I have been working on,
I am calling it the Super Charger! It is based on the Iverson Charger with my own twist of course.
I will post it also when I get some time.
I think George will surprise you too, he's actually a pretty cool guy. Talked a fair bit with him over the weekend at the Detroit Autorama last winter....
Give it a shot! Maybe ol' Georgie will wanna buy it when you're done?

I finally got the seat cover finished up. I am going for something close to the comic book ad. I made this using a 1 x 10 and split it, and then screwed it together to make it stronger.
Then used a 4" thick foam from an old couch I found, I felt it fitting since this seat is as long as a couch! lol

No it is on Jack stands and the wheel is just sitting there on the floor. It is a Satellite Sebring Plus and being converted to a Road Runner Clone with air grabber hood.
Keeps getting sidelined by bicycle projects, lol ☺

so when are you gonna start stamping these out as production bikes? $$
aka_locojoe said:Looks great. Nice work. If it weren't for the fact you're building a replica I'd say remove the down tube and chain stays from the donor bike.
I think there would be flex in the frame. Once the guard is in place you don't really see the chain stays anyway. The comic book version actually does not have the down tube, and looks cool, but the originals had them. I am sure due to flex.
