Stella Bread Racer

[irzouts]

I found my Stella on ebay.fr, it was a french pocket bike for adult built in Nantes in the 60's. It was originally sold for those which have their own boat for vacation. Now it's a collection bike and sometimes can be expensive. I had mine for 60 euros only. So I decided to make a rat rod bike. :mrgreen: a racer to reach the boulangerie to get the bread before the others.

Um, does Mr. Hulot know you've stolen his bike? Great job (and I'm usually not a fan of these things)! That bread is making me hungry, too.

That bike is getting one of my votes for sure, it is way too cool. Do you have a permit for such a cool bike?

Man O Man, You guys in Paris really know how to make the bland ultra cool. You might say Uber Cool over your side of the pond. A cheesey little folder into a classic mini rat. Love the front forks and all the little detail. Great job on the Stella. P.S. Is that french bread? It looks delicious. Please pass the butter.

Uber? :? Dude, it's France. I don't think so. :|

:lol: Yeah "uber" is german. In France you can say "ça tabasse sa mère".
Anyway thanks everybody for the nice comment about my bike.
and the bread. :lol:

Def a cool ride!!! This should take an award of some kind! "Baddest transformation" award or something. Have you thought about the Sturmey Archer Dyno/brake for the front hub? http://www.amazon.com/Sturmey-Archer-Dy ... B002AGC7F8, thats the only thing I'd do different. Cheers mate, killer ride!

:lol: No way
Olds-cool that's all I need

Man I never get tired of looking at this bike!.....I want to ride IT! :mrgreen:

 

[irzouts]

Thank you all, it seems the bread racer has his small success.13th place is not so bad for 67 bikes. Skipton you have to learn to swim or fly before trying this bike. :lol:

 

[Skipton]

Swimming would be fun :roll: :shock: :lol:
