My Pedal Scraper

[sidsky]

:lol: don't really know what to call the bike right now, but thats what it does!! :lol:
Got me a $20 huffy cruiser from swapmeet. i was so excited when i saw the bike that i didn't notice that the rear hub is kinda screwed, the wheels are out of shape. I tried making it rideable, so i can ride with my kids last summer, and we did it for few weeks. We lost interest in bike riding, left the bike sits on the yard.
What it look like when i got it, tuned a little,

been thinking of doing something like this(bad photoshop )

Until Excitebike show us in our car forum about his build, i then decided to do the make over.
did some cut, bend, and weld back..

not content on the crank position, and i wanted to go lower more....
unweld, did more bends and weld back...

yesterday, i went back to the swapment to look for a nicer wheel, no luck, but ended up getting this

still yet to paint the whole thing flat black, also plans on fabbing a springer fork i saw in the DIY section.

NICE!!! i dig your style!
are you gonna put that fender back on? or a piece of it? might be a cool place for stripes and a way to keep the back of your shirt clean :lol:

when i saw the first pic i was like "pedal scrapper???" then i saw the second pic and i was like "ehhh, pedal scrapper.." then i saw the last pic and i was like "PEDAL SCRAPPER! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:!" nice lines. i love the look of these low reworked rear sections. nicely done sir

 

[sidsky]

haha!! thanks guys!! yeah, i'll put the rear fender as soon as i clean up the rest of the frame. might have to spray the fender flat black, well, the rest of the frame and fork too! lol!! part of my pants actually rubs on the wheel sometimes!!

Nice I like it!

 

[Gdcast]

Uhhhh, I really like it man!!
I feel the urge to repro that one, let´s see, It would get 2587 in my bike wish list... :shock: :|

thanks, i think i saw that thread, but i think my rim is not true to begin with. the hub too needs major fix, last time i took it apart the bearing balls are either gone/out of shape. i was just thinking of buying a new set of wheels, but still looking on cheap deals. let me know if you find a good deal on the net.
thanks!

i have a set of wheels you can have, and a bendix hub(for very cheap) you can lace in.

 

[Rustinkerer]

Now all you need is to find another fender so you can add it to the one there & make it lower! ~ADam
