Re: skull-o sis (steering concept revealed)

Thats innovative. Now you gotta figure out what your gonna do for a handle bars or a steering wheel. I think you should go with the dragster style steering wheel.

i think for the time being (until i get things set up) its getting a set of vise grips for a steering wheel.

well unfortunatly i can't take credit for this one.

i saw it first on markm's bike and thought it looked super cool!

i think it will look even cooler, with really short crank arms.

Re: skull-o sis (steering concept revealed)

Right ... yeah I've seen larger than normal sprockets used... Like on speed bikes from the 30's and 40's.
Such as Albert Marquet's and Alf Letourner's speed record bikes.
I just would have never thaught to take one off an exersise bike. That's thinking
Though I have seen some sweet seats on some of the older exersise bikes I've thought about using.

I've been running one for a while, their not a straight bolt on, I had to shim it out using washers in between the race and the ring. Good luck, I love they way they look.

They are a bit of work to get moving, but once you get going you can fly

that's trick! i love it.

thx guys for the kind words.

i love that pic of vampira, its kinda the entire inspiration for the horror theme. i thought about getting it tattooed myself.

so the deck is almost complete and outta the way.

i just have to finish a hand rail. bigcams tiki time inspired me so much,
i decided to insert a little tiki into our lives.

i figure i should be able to finish carving/install them by the end of the day,
then i have the rest of the weekend for the bike. (just rough routed in the pic's)

brass tubing is in stock now, so i'm ready to knock this outta the park.
