i had a bunch, including a 64', and a 58', got rid of a lot of em though....

the one's i kept are: 74' primavera small frame, has a 130 cylinder kit and leo vinci pipe.

and a 66' sprint, with a P200 engine in it.

cool, I love smallframes.

OK, after some consideration, i decided that the bone and shifter contraption does not belong on this bike... i will still build it though, cause i think everyone here would get a kick out of it...

still a lot of little details to work out...

I get all excited every time I see a new post..
It's like I'm scrolling down to see your next "Killer New Design" for the project.

The forks look great!

That Green is very nice....The Sunshine makes it look even better!

keep em comming October...

i am such a sucker for metalic 60's style paint colors. (think moth and a light bulb ) hmmm i think kev has some competition

 

[october]

so... i got out my little mad scientist electronics kit...

i completely rewired the LED flashlight... all new wiring, soldered everything direct to the board... it now runs on 4 AA batteries, and is hooked up to a DPDT center off switch. it is set up like this: lowbeam/off/highbeam. by using the double pole switch, i can now hook up, say, a taillight, and have it run on it's own separate power, but both the headlight and taillight would be controlled by one switch.

got new chrome screws to hold it back together...

ooooooh....

i'm thinking of running it fenderless... i am liking the way it looks... it is very uncluttered, and it looks long. i am finishing paint on the chainguard, though i might leave that off as well...

bars could be tough... i have tried a few variations, and though giant apes make it really fun to ride, i think it detracts from the overall appearance...

ok, i know i withdrew my "bone shifter" contraption once already...
but i need something "mad scientist" on here to go with the other build's hand grenade springers, saw blade sprocket covers, bullet hand grips, crystal doorknob shifters, leaf springers etc.

so i'm going to build it anyway... except with out the bone stick shift.

here are my parts again...

old shifter, welded the center shaft on each side, then cut in half...

found this reflector on one of my dump bikes...

forget the reflector... the part i'm after is the bracket/clamp...

it was originally designed to use a shifter/cable to operate the device...

hmmm...

maybe it will use an electric motor instead?

secret button/switch?

oh yeah, by the way, my signature.... doesn't actually say "flip"...
