I could never see the potential is those frames till now, turned out great, even without the chainguard.

Thanks for the offer, Scott but I think I'm gonna just leave the chain exposed, it gives it that CHOPPERS INC. "oh crap my pants are gonna get shredded" look. The guard kinda gives it a more "refined" look.

The bigger chainwheel makes this thing haul butt also.

 

[62Higgins]

OK. I guess I'll have to use your build as inspiration to actually do something with the freame we have here.

Cool build.

 

[JIMBO420]

Okay, Today I rode it into the ghetto(about 7 miles r.t.) and while it would be set up for board track racing perfectly, not so good for cruisin.
Even though the homies were digging it.

So after an illustrious career as the most winningest board racer ever, it's now retired and used as a cruiser.

I changed the stem to an old school dyno chrome stem, a pair of cheapy dk bmx bars and I also cleaned up a pair of old SKYWAY screw on bmx peg's for the front wheel so's I can stretch out my legs.
I might cut out the crossbar on the handle bars but I'm still undecided.

 

[JIMBO420]

I still have no money into this, but I might break down and buy a headlight and if I get really crazy, I might just spring for a rear fender!!!!

[mastershake916]

It looks even better now. I also think some wide bars would look wicked.

 

[JIMBO420]

^^^^ I wish I had some wider bmx bars that arent worth $$$$$$$ to cut, but I dont. I definatly will get some ape's eventually.
But for now, heres what I did............

I cut out the crossbar, and ground down the old welds and threw a couple heavy duty machine screws in the hole that was left.

Then I cut off the bolt heads, and filled the low spots with bondo

[/img]

Now I'm waiting for the bondo to dry and sand it down.

(420 time) :shock:

 

[JIMBO420]

Well, after 3 diffrent types of bars, I decided on the original.I also didnt think the colors fit the look of the bike so I saw a ratrod in a mag. that had this color scheme and I had the paint so, HERE IT IS!!

[/img]
I also took the spring out of the springer front endto give it more raka and slammit a little more.
I also switched from a 44t sprocket to a 39t, so its easier to pedal

 

[demon]

I like it, after I seen a Jimmy Shines truck that was matte black with flourescent green rims I knew that paint scheme would look great on a bike.

 

[Manny Moons]

NICE!

 

[Rat Rod]

Looks great!

All you need now is some flour. green grips!
