Evolution of a bicycle:

The start - an '07 Schwinn Manta Ray bought new: (same bike but not mine)

Manta Ray Chopper Phase 1

Manta Ray Chopper Phase 2

The evolution of this bicycle is complete!

Manta Ray Chopper Phase 3

Manta Ray Chopper Phase 3

Manta Ray Chopper Phase 3

The changes in rake angle and trail due to the 24” front wheel coupled by way of the increase in width at the handlebars (hand bent using a portable pipe bender) has resulted in a bicycle that corners with the stability and comfort of a trike!

Indian Larry (1949–2004) was the inspiration; no front brake (a Brooklyn Suicide Bike) or front fender and designed around cornering for riding in crowed urban areas.

Just finished this early 60's Huffy Galaxie, most of the patina is original, but I faux finished the wheels, light, sissy bar and bare metal banana seat to match.

Love that bare metal banana!
