I've been badgered by several people to give this a go.
So far I have gathered various bits that I may or may not use .
2 80mm x26" rims coaster and 2 speed Sturmey archer kicker , on Fat Frank's.
Forks from a USU Quickly Moped.
A frame , from a Dutch folding bike .
Idea is to build something with a passing nod to a Spacelander

I'm a big fan of those forks.

I like the premise. You can post those pics directly here with a cell phone or a laptop, and choose the full image option when you do. Welcome to the fray.

Thanks Carl , I've been lurking for years . I'm sitting here with a pen and pad , scibbling away ...

This is going to be built in fits of activity and days , possibly weeks of inactivity . Strange times at work ( As I'm sure it is for many ) I'm either very busy or not there . I also tend to get dragged into doing grown up things and my wife's projects around the place .
I would love to show you a pretty picture of what I'm going to do , but while I can see bits in my head drawing these bits at this point is not coming easy . So I suppose I will just need to start cutting, bending, welding stuff ,and make it up as I go along for a bit .

Got a bit done today . Moved and reversed the seat post .
Extended the rear dropouts , reshaped them

.Boxed in the rear dropouts cos they were a bit wobbly . It don't look like I have done much

Wait... that frame is almost entirely made of pressed steel plates, and not tubes... interesting

This is gonna be killer!!!!
Love the forks and the work you've done so far on the frame.

Heres my scribble , I don't know how I'm going to make the NSU forks work on this but we will see . Maybe they are for another build .

It's a bit mad isn't it , It's a Dutch , Magneet Intercycle Batavus Batafold . So it's a 20" wheel Shopper bike ...well was.

I shall give it a go on the pics , it's been a while since I did forums , I will get it . As for the forks , I will see if the design lets me . If not this one another one will get them . They may need to get halved to work . I can always use the other bit somewhere else on the bike .

It's totally unhinged .

It's totally unhinged .

It's still got a hinge right now ...Oh yeah I see what you did there. It will be unhinged soon though, in more ways than one . But seriously I've gotta lose the hinge soon .

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Very cool! Welcome to the madness!

 

[Mr Unhinged]

Bit more done today . It's now unhinged for starters

 

[Mr Unhinged]

And now it's sort of a roller

Now that thing... is super cool!

 

[Mr Unhinged]

Had a bit of a scribble with the tablet , just to see what I could do . I'm no Davinchi that's for sure . But if you squint a bit you can sort of see where I'm trying to get to
