My new Swapmeet cruiser

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Great swap meet ride, great beach gear hauler, heck great anything bike!

Makes me think about what I could do with my Mongoose Beast that won’t sell....

Question, where did you get that front fender.....asking for a friend....OK...asking for me...

Front fender was custom rolled by a local engineer, Same place that did my tray and rear fenders. Rear tray and all 3 fenders cost me $350 AUD

I will get you some close up pic's tomorrow if you want?

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Definitely! I’m looking for a wide ‘bobber’ fender for a future build

Wait until you see what I have planed for the drive line

 

[kelvin hahnel]

Designing a new front end so I may be loosing the front guard.

Small update, I got matching tires, a little pricey at $120 delivered (express) but rolling resistance is very low so I may have to gear it a bit harder because its way to easy to get moving

 

[kelvin hahnel]

After swapping out the tires I think I will be sticking with 3 wheels for a little while, I just have to get some custom forks. Time to start designing

 

[kelvin hahnel]

Sorry for the lack of updates. New job with very long hours so I only get to do stuff on Sundays if I'm lucky. but heres how the cruiser is going at the moment. Fitted some springer fork's at the moment and downgraded to a 26x1.75 front rim. Probably be swapping out the front wheel for something a little more custom and probably a custom quill stem but she still rides like a dream and all the gears are gone. It's now a single speed coaster brake (still low geared cruises all day at 10kph). So whats everyone think? oh and the tray is getting refitted after some "light" mods.

 

[kelvin hahnel]

Been a while again, but here's a HUGE update that some of you may like:

New custom frame and forks. Only thing left from the red trike is the rear:

Still in primer at the moment, Still waiting on some parts and building a flat tray for it but I have about 35k distance traveled on it testing and rides like a dream.

Looking good!

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Looks awesome!
I especially like the sun bleached rims, gotta keep those as is.

That is one sweet trike! Tires match the rims perfectly.

I agree with you there, I liked the old tires but it's so much better to ride now.
