Three Speed Wasp

[biss-ness]

I am almost finished with my Three Speed Wasp. Just wanted to share a picture. I still need to true the wheels, find some clean sissy bar clamps, hoping to find a five speed MAG and a stik shift front cover. This should be a smooth ride on a set of maxxis 2.5 hookworm tires.

Here is an older picture

I connected the shifter and hubs with no issues. the linkage is a shimano bell housing with push rod, which is use on older three speed hubs. The wheels are Schwinn 26 in center stamped S-2 with a script front hub and a shimano 3CC rear. Hopefully it will be ready this weekend to ride. :mrgreen:

Your bike looks tight. I put a "naner" on my schwinn and it looked tarded..

Oh! Why is your sissybar uneven at the bottom?

Some one down the line cut off 4'' for what ever reason. I still need to do the other side.

Looks good. Those Hookworms are big tires.

Finally Finished, after riding some wheelies in the rain , the wheels are still true and straight. Now i just need to find a front cover for the stick shifter. :mrgreen:

Looking good, but I gotta say I dig that light brown seat in the older picture.

Yea it was nice , but no nanner, just sold it on eBay. Nirve.com should have them if your looking for one.

Wow. Those big tires really help put the nanner and the apes in perspective with the rest of the bike... very nice...
