Redone Wide Rim build finished

[Gdcast]

Yes! I like it a lot better now, beautiful green :mrgreen:
Some one said something about a headlight and I agree, big headlight would look killer.
Don´t know why, but the new colour reminds me of a Matchbox car I had when little...

Its funny how a color change and a few hundred dollars worth of wide rims , makes a totally different bike. I will look for a big headlight for it . May have to build what I have in mind.

ok, so, I usually like orange a lot, but didn't on that bike. I don't usually like green, but really like it on that bike. That thing is awesome now. It's the right color for it.

Found it! funny how memory works, my dad has a shoe box filed with this cars in their cases from when he was a kid.
Long time since I don´t see it cause grandma put them away since I broke one when I was a kid.
That was at least 25 years ago! Your bike instantly reminded me of this one:

^^^ Holy Flashback!!! I had that car when I was a kid!!

if someone hasnt asked yet..but who's the maker of the rims? and the tires are just 3" kenda's?

love green, great look, cool bike.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

They came from cyclesus big 40% off sale. I'm not sure who he gets them from. The tires are from the big Kenda tire dump of 2009. They are the Kenda Flames. Not a good choice , but cheap at $12 shipped. Hard to buy endomorph's for $100 a pop when I have these around everywhere. Thanks Jon glad you like it.

that looks great!

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Thanks Hooch. I rode it today and when you turn to the left something in the back makes a flopping noise. I only have 20 lbs of air in them , so the tube may not be filled out all the way and making some sort of noise inside. Other than that it rides perfect. I'm happy with the way it turned out. Its funny to look at my three bikes in my house. They all have the 26x3 kenda flames. The regular rim looks small and then the 2'' wide rims look bigger and the 4'' rim looks huge , and they are all the same tires. :lol:

Digging the green too 8)
