Silent Assassin now with video!

[udallcustombikes]

After eight years on second shift I finally got moved to third. That means working from midnight to 7am starting tomorrow night. I am staying up late tonight to acclimate myself to the new hours. I decided to spend some time in the garage this evening since it isn't 108° outside. The downside to a nocturnal build is that I have to keep the noise down, no power tools.

I decided to make use of a bunch of parts I have been sitting on for a while.
I have had this rusty, ratty chrome Roadmaster built Western Flyer frame hanging on the wall for a while, the 600w hub motor I pulled off my wife's trike, a big Wald basket, and the re-pop Columbia bars. I started throwing everything together and began to like what I was seeing. Once I took it out and that silent motor had me booking along the dark streets at 20 miles per hours I really began to like this new rat.

I will take some better pics tomorrow afternoon. We have a bunch of family and friends coming over for the 4th and I have a feeling most of them will enjoy this one!

Too kool! Prowl them streets-- silently :mrgreen: You'll like workin steady midnites, once you get used to it. I used to work all 3 shifts, and only 5 days at a time-- about the time I got used to midnite, I was done with 'em :roll:

I took her out for about half an hour as soon as I had it put together. I got a little ride time in today when I could grab it from my brother-in-law. :lol:

Re: Silent Assassin

I took the Assassin out for a spin this evening. I stopped by our High School Gym for some pics before shooting a quick video.
