Radchen

[deven_science]

This really came out so well! Excellent execution at every level so far! Not only is it practical, but it looks so stylish and cool. I like the idea of clear powder. Are you going to put one of your cool headbadges on it?
I like how it fit in the car too. Maybe next time just flip it around so that the greasy chain side of the bike is towards the front and not against the rear seats.
BRAVO!

It'll get one of the metal stickers, for sure.

Is that a Sportster kickstand?

Well done. Love it!

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

thanks for making that video. It was fun to watch. I dig your creations.

 

[GeePig]

Fantastic job, I really hope it works out for you.

As someone who often has to load bikes inside a car, being able to twist the handlebars sideways is always, um, handy.

Broken down, and off to the powder coater.

I really love how this turned out.

This is so wild looking without the wheelset. It's like you put one of your other cool frames in front of a funhouse mirror.
Sorta like @Dr. Tankenstein , our friend Chris, and me a couple of months ago

Yep

Whillickers man!!! Ah, Stimpy, this is the life. Seriously though, this is the most amazing build I've seen so far. So well designed and executed. It must be a blast to ride. Though maybe not for the introverted. Super cool @deven_science , I love it!!!

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Huh.

Lol did you follow those easy steps to make Radchen? Seems so simple...

It's a curse that I make it look so easy.

Seriously, though, I was more thrown off by... I've deleted and re-written so many times here trying to get the right balance to my words. My personal approach to social media is to only post things that I build, or photos that I take. One of those two must be. So, I find it... more deleting, and re-wording. I can't get the balance right, so I'll opt out, and just say that at least he gave me credit, and it took work to put that together, so the video is something he created.

Actions speak louder than words my friend and you have brought a beautiful and unique bike into existence. Very cool. GC.

Back from the powder coaters with a metallic clear coat. Hard to see, of course, but it's done. More photos in the finished thread.

Love the color, it looks like pewter or maybe tarnished nickel.

 

[Pondo]

Gorgeous bike man! Color me Jealy!

I've already submitted my final pics, so I'll add these here. I was able to get a pair of folding apes from a 60s or 70s Portacycle, and this has improved the comfort immensely.

Those are the funkiest handlebars I've ever seen!

 

[JA331]

Insane!

It was crazy enough before those bars push it way over the top .
