Here she is! A burrito-style long and low bike.
She rides like a dream with the front suspension and large seat. Be on the lookout for pedal strikes in corners though!

A few pictures on how it started:

The name inspiration came from Redneck engineering and a game from my youth: Redneck Rampage:
capsule_616x353-2451994569.jpg


Specs:
  1. Steel standard cruiser frame cut in pieces. Added parts of a heavy table and clothing rack. All steel baby.
  2. 24" wheels. 24x2.125" tires.
  3. 44t to 16t sprockets, I like to go fast.
  4. Lowrider springer fork, changed it and made it stiffer. With bushings now.
  5. Ape hanger bars with torpedo grips.
  6. F4 Phantom scaled shark mouth stickers.
  7. Wrench chain clearance guide thingy.
  8. 152mm cranks with plastic pedals. Easy to pedal strike in corners!


Thanks for the aid, tips and great fun building this beast!

Great work here, BRE! You tied all this creativity up and dressed it in a black tuxedo, white shirt, and red bowtie! Cool custom features and frame work.

Thank you for the advice, ideas and sportsmanship during the build OJ. If I ever have the bucks to buy an cargoplane, I'll come and ride in Minnesota :rockout:
 
RIDE VIDEO
Through a part of our village centre. I came from our library since my wife forgot the pass. I had a nice excuse to take a little break from work and film this. I placed the camera in a front pocket of my backpack, so I could ride safe and hands free :bandit: the ratride is a bit wonky when riding slow with one hand.
This rides best at 20 km/hr or faster. Its a fighter jet then!

 
Ride videos rule! That looks very bike friendly. No real curbs to hop between street and sidewalk. Love the cobblestone!
 
CONGRATS! Excellent creative build! This was one of my favorite builds this year! WELL DONE!!!
