Re: "New" Typhoon Project

Its like the bike keeps morphing Looks completely different in each picture.

I have given the Tyhpoon a new name. The Changeling.

See me change.

ok time for a faux tank. It just needs one. I think it will serve nicely as the battery box for lights. Cut a template of cardboard and traced it on to some scrap metal....

Then to spot weld up the two halves and mock up a clever way to mount it....

anyone need a tri LNB feed for a direct tv dish?? :lol:

Using a dish is a fantastic idea! Already has compound curves. Oh, I'm for sure stealing that idea for my next build.

mocked up into place....

Sweet! I like that long seat too, what kind is that? There are always dishes in the metal pile at the dump. Cool!!

Hey Adrnln,

Nice looking Typhoon and very cool with the 2 speed.
I like the way you painted the wheels and have whitewalls but like the drops a bit more
Of course, it's your bike so what ever your like is best
Here is my Typhoon and I love it

Are you done now or are your doing more?

It's a Sunlite Polo...they can be had for about $20-25 around the interwebs. I made the strut/rails out of barstock from Farm&Fleet.

Thanks! I like the drops too. feels faster! I changed the wheels around to use the 2speed kickback in a new upcoming project. I got sick of the white walls....

Your 'phoon is rad too! Ride on!

wow. I've liked every version of this bike. Also really like the license plate and bag/.... tail. Amazing what a couple little accessories can do for a bike.
