Psycho Monkey Ward

We're in the home stretch, finished welding the tailgate on also did a quick prep and shot 4 cans of burgandy paint on.
cut down a 3/8 bolt after drilling a hole in it for a latch pin and got a heavy coat of varnish on the bed so now I just need to finish the hitch on the bike.

Trailer looks god Marc! That is the coolest bicycle trailer i have ever seen, u just don't see many vintage looking trailers.
See you soon , Daniel

Down to the wire but we're close
Tow-able , the hitch is on the bike and we tested the weight carrying ability with a 200 lb load in the trailer...perfect !


some cosmetic work needed

As done as it gets for now !
some patina

added some eyelets to tie off to

spring in for towing

put the original licence tag back on helps hide some of the ugly welds !



switched the saddle , as much as I liked the look of the Wrights saddle it was just to hard on my backside ..hemi

The Psycho Monkey likes it !

Very cool build, congrats on finishing!

Thanks Luke I was beginning to wonder if I was going to make it to the finish with the trailer and hitch , the bike was the easy part but my inexperience welding thin steel was putting a hurt on me .....my vision wasn't helping either .

But you did it! The experience gained and the great times you can now enjoy with it, along with the success of doing it yourself are just awesome!

Looking forward to seeing your next build!

Luke.

There can't be many monkeys out there who have a custom throne and mobile playpen built for them.
Get lots of pictures of our adventures together.

Wow busy couple weeks I've had and as always there are some cool builds going . I started removing the layer of paint covering the original paint, this stuff was rough like lizard skin .

and here is whats left of the original darts





I think I settled on this old wrights saddle and tool bag


an 18 tooth sprocket should make pedaling easier with all the hills around here.

on a side note I have the outdoor bike shop cleaned out, work bench rebuilt and some parts organized so now I can get something done in there.

like drink a few

while I true up the wheels

anybody recognize this ?

Mark

anyone have any of these bars for sale or know where I could get a set or have some made? I'm building a columbia compax and need a set.
