A New Toy Of Mine

Nice start... I like the top tube bend... Flows very nicely

 

[ElChupacabra]

Great lines on that bike. Do the cranks clear the ground with that BB location? Excited to see a finished product.

 

[theVULTURE]

nice stretch! bro. how tall are you? :lol:
i'd never get my legs out to the pedals :lol:
looking good!

 

[nniiss]

I would say the BB is about 5" off the ground. I used a short crank and i think i might go a little longer

I don't know if you can see it but the BB is not round. this is from me setting on it. i added the tabs for more strength.

i took an old hub and ground the out side of it to fit the old BB. the freewheel i
fixed to freewheel both ways.What i get by doing this is a good chain line.

 

[Philphine]

i like that ider idea. into the mental file it goes.

 

[nniiss]

I had some time to do some more work.

 

[SSG]

Nice lines and a great idea with the hub.

 

[nniiss]

I would like to know how I'm doing? this is my first bike build.
I am having way to much fun

 

[ElChupacabra]

Looks really great so far. I was planning on using a similar driveline on the stretch burrito Im building now for the buildoff. The lines you created with the extra tube really make the bike flow nicely. The gussetts are also a great addition and add nice strength. Keep it goin!

Looks like a real pedal scraper. Low and slow, baby!

 

[Dirtydawg]

I AM SO F@#$%^& JEALOUS THIS CRUISER IS BADDASS. YOU MADE IT LOOK SO SIMPLE, I WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF BUILDING ONE LIKE THIS. I'M WORKING ON A STRECH FOR MY SON. IT'S A 20" BIKE, BUT IT WILL BE SIX FEET LONG. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK I WILL SEE YOU THERE SATURDAY. DONT FORGET THE CHEESE AND CRACKERS.

 

[nniiss]

Had some time to do some more work to day. added the sun and started the 6 pack rack

 

[mastronaut]

Wow! The stance on this is amazing, love the six pack rack too! I can't wait to see this one finished. Wicked job so far... 8)

 

[nniiss]

Trying to go with a surfer idea. If you look at
the BB I have a wave. At the seat tube the
sun. I hope to make wood finders for it and
a skimboard rack.

 

[LBK]

This bike looks great i really like the little details. Are you by chance from Minnesota?

 

[stretch]
