replacement burrito build

tikiharl · Mar 15, 2012

Hi all, I havent been on it quite awhile although I have lurked more than once.
My beloved Burrito was stolen at the 1st of Jan....gosh I miss that bike

I finally started today to build the replacement,everything went smooth with the pipe bends and finding the right metal.
As it sits it is 9' 6'' a little too long ( wont fit in truck )
I thought I would document this build. A Huffy donor

the 1st cut is the deepest.

1st blood of build...

bike will be shortened tommorow by about 10" - 12"

Hey I get to be the first to welcome you back! Sorry to hear about your bike. Good luck with the build.

Had some welding done on frame today. I really like the lines, it kinda flows. It will have smaller tubing connecting to the original cantilever area following the top bar all the way back to make the seat stays. This one will have fenders and a rack as well as an knee action springer. It will be a 5 speed w/ suicide shift and have red tires.

Well I didnt do so well at documenting this build. It is still not 100% complete ( it is still single speed ) but is very rideable and fun.Here are some pics from today...
