This originally was a girls Takara Road Bike. My dad and I grinded off the rear triangle and here it is! The rest were just spare parts we had laying around. :D

NICE! I love "straight" lined bikes! 8)
 
I love this concept with the old school womens frame. Is it ridable in this configuration?

Yep it's rideable...
But you wouldn't want to take it on a 10 mile ride! :lol:

The ape-hangers stretch things out a bit, but It's still kinda cramped.

I had a set of "bull horn" style bars on it but it was nearly impossible to ride! :mrgreen:

Cool....if it wouldn't cause the pedals to scrape I'm wonderin' what it would look like with a shorter front fork and wheel....hmmmm.

Cut off the bottom part of the seat post tube and angle it back & lengthen it a bit? I'm assuming you can weld because I think I'm the only person here who can't!
 
Very cool build...love seeing the mixte frames built up like that.

Just goes to show any bike is fair game on this site. :lol:
