Tinkering with the Interceptor...

[Triggerfish]

Late 50's Evans Interceptor 100...

AS found on Craigslist

Got one wheel on and got hints from the "How to..." section on grinding the fork/axle for fitment of the front...

very uncomfortable seat... kinda like bare metal with contact paper on it...

Yeah! Got the front wheel on... playing with the front fender on the back (nevermind my hokie zip-tie mounting for test-riding)

I'm having fun! :mrgreen:

looks cool! Go klunker ....no fenders, brooks type saddle, short bmx/mtb bars...

looks great trigger. i like the black wheels with the knobby mtb tires. definately go with what markm said. mtb bars and no fenders. just my $.02

Thanks guys. Still deciding on what I want to do with the fenders... I was glad to see I could still fit them switching from 26X1.95 to 26X2.1 tires... I love the half-type rear fender you see on things like the Electra Rockabilly, but I'm not sure I ant to cut the original just yet... Gonna black-out some other parts and do something with the bars - though maybe not "true" klunker. I have some ideas...

front fender looks great on the rear. i like the look so far.

i'd keep the "bobbed" fender as i think they look sweet, as in good sweet, not soppy girly sweet like a puppy, or a kitten

All you need now is a chrome tube fork, some vintage 3 piece cranks, some bear traps and some BMX cruiser bars.

Sweet!

BTW - the new bobble-head avatar cracks me up everytime I see it

Yeah, you need a shorty w/a ducktail with no brace, that bolts to the upper frame stays. That'd be tasty! personally, I like the Evans loooooooong chainguard... ~Adam

Exactly! That's the look I'm shooting for! Also - I have plans to add the big 'ole chain guard back on too...
