Six Pack

[user 135]

I bought this bike for parts-F&S 3spd coaster brake, front drum brake. The bike is a DBS from Norway.

Robbed the hubs from the funny size wheels-26x 1 1/2-french. I had to make a brake mount as the frame was setup for a coaster brake. Used part of the fender mount and added some angle aluminum. I mounted a Dia Compe Big Dog caliper brake-very long reach.]

I added some tourist bars, 26" wheels with a bmx freewheel, new seat, new forks(originals bent) and my front basket.
It still has a bad rattlecan job on the frame and fork w/ original paint showing. Looks very theft proof. I always wanted to build a bike with a basket for haulin 6packs after I saw Outsider13's.

Thats a neat bike cman. Is the rear caliper brake on the six pack like a BMX style?

Yes it is. It is a Dia Compe Big Dog that came off one of my bikes. It is a dual pivot caliper and stops well. Can't use the short brake levers though.
