The front fender is off of a 40's Hawthorn, the frame is an 80's Huffy "Good Vibrations" that has ben "aged." The rear fender was chopped and meticulously masked and painted, the seat post is a 1" plumbing elbow from Home Depot that was chopped, rest of the parts came from my parts bin.

Its not as bad as a full bent lowriderstyle springer front end, but I do clip the pedals on turns occationally. This shot was taken on a 12 mile pizza and beer club run...Medford Oregon Chupacabras for life!

Brainfart, yeah its actually a size smaller but I don't remember 3/4." All I know is the elbow put my seat position in an awkward place (oldskool bmx trials, whatever), So i chopped it a little. It was also threaded, its not conduit. In the end i paid about 3bones for a seatpost with a serious bend...thank you home depot

I know, you can't see my Oregon Lisence plate that says "Rebel" hanging from th saddle. the lamp was free in a trade and I gutted it out and wired up a 3.5v LED, not alot of light, but it takes me about a year to wear out the 2 little N batteries. I gotta get the rest of the stable in the gallery sections. I got a 51 and a 53 Schwinns that are slightly custom (nothing too crazy but ride great) and my 60's Motorized Western Flyer boardtrack racer.
