Not one that I made.

I saw one of these on someone's porch, but it was brief and it was stripped down. A guy working on my shop today told me he had this and said I could come get it, so here it is, in all it's weird glory:

Seat and bars are adjustable. The rear wheel is a 16" with freewheel and a v-brake. Front wheels are pretty much like the wheels on racing go carts. Front tires very stiff. Big sprocket, so I guess you can really get that 16" wheel moving.

The seat says "It" and the chainstays and grips say "WRFF"... can I buy a vowel please?

New build-off bike?
 
just seen on of those on cl for 50 bucks, wondered about them myself. I could see the 16 inch rear getting cut off and a occ stingray rear welded in its place

The perfect combination of 2 worthless bikes.
 
Wrff is exactly what it is. Snoop dog (the rapper) either made it popular or had something to do with it's design. they are fun to ride for a little while and falling off is funny for the first few times, but then it gets old quick. depending on which model you have, if you whack the grips...they light up :)

I saw a Snoop Dogg edition on youtube, it had spinners... :|

That thing is the HEAT! (or should I say the "shizzle"!)

If you have it the next time I'm up, I'll pay you for it!

You're on, it will be all regreased, new tube and tire, and rust removed.

The one that I saw on someone's porch, I thought it was some sort of garbage can cart until I saw the crank.

I could see this with a basket on the front being used to get around car shows and flea markets.

You need to slap a banana seat on it, with some apehangers!

Cool bike, that will get some build-off brains ticking out there!

Cheers,

Banana seats I have a shortage of... I have... zero, but that is a good idea as the current seat, though in great shape, is ridiculous to try to sit on.
 
If it comes to Greenville, it will get a spare steering wheel that I have on the garage wall! And maybe a set of Margay race kart wheels I have for the front!

WoooHoooooooo!
 
The local bike coop had one. Fun to ride but that is about it. Custom barstool would be a cool build.

Put some longer cranks and widen the h-bars and I could get hurt on that thing! :lol:

Longer cranks won't fly, at TDC left or right, the lopposite pedal is almost touching the ground, I think it will touch if you spin it, thus it came with one broken pedal.

Rigid handlebar and seatpost, so you can lean and ride it on 2 wheels, but it will throw you off if you turn the front wheels too quick.
