Super Chunk

[kingplinker]

I had 2.5 hours to play this evening - I took an old Murray girls 26" frame I got free from a hispanican(?) - some old mountain bike forks - had to cut forks and add more to make neck longer _ seat off a Wildcat(?), cranks& pedals off a 1960's Roadmaster girls bike, grips off 70's bike, front rim off newer wally world bike, and neck off... well, not sure, but it's long! ANYWAYS, made this superchunk kind of rat bike i guess, from frame to rideable in 2.5 hours today - was a personal challenge - that's all, just sharing, BUT I am getting better as welding the small stuff!

I dont know but that bike screams "keep out" it reminds me of all the parks that had the gate chained shut when I was trying to get into trouble as a youth.. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

hey that's a good name! and thanks for comments guys - I saw that chain idea someplace, and always thought it was cool idea. bike needs longer cranks, they are off 20" bike - I might ad soem other junk, and paint it up.... Cheers,T.

Innovative frame materials. Nice pics w/words as always.,

just wondering......
are all the links welded or just where it meets the seat tube and head tube?

 

[kingplinker]

just where it meets the frame - so it swings a little - - Ideally it should all be welded, and have an upward arc to it, but welding small things, with my OLD Forney welder is hard, and I knew if I tried it I would blow through it.. but been practicing.....

i dunno if i would make it solid.......might be kinda cool with alittle sway :mrgreen:

 

[kingplinker]

not sure on forks - picked them up at the dump - the bike they were one was a mangled pile, so I just took the forks - T. 24" rims fit.
