tour de fat bike

[pvwacko]

Well, as you may have suspected, if you followed my build, having finished in two weeks it's now had no further progress made. However it's made it out to a few cruise nights in mesa to hang out with the hot rodders and was a big hit at the tour de fat. I wish I had copys of all the ladies that had thier picture taken on it... oh well. Hope you enjoy the pics and the video when I have a chance to post it. Cheers, Wacko

humble beginnings but I couldn't be more pleased. It's been a pleasure to build along side such craftsmen (and women?) enjoy your new rides!

by the way if anyone can ID the schwinn model that this springer came off of I'd really like to have another for the second one I'm building. It's not a normal 26" springer and not a lowrider springer, any help would be great!

rides great, long turning radius. Pedals are a little lower than I would have wanted but I've only scraped them a few times. As you can see I had to beef up the springer with a custom double spring to handle the extra weight on the front end. it has the perfect amount of spring in it now... the big tires help alot too.

great bike very unique mix of parts using the i pod in the tank. i like to see a mix of inovation and flow in custom bikes and this has it. no un needed add ons just clean pure and ready to hit the mean streets.

Thank you very much for the kind words! It means more because College Cyclery was where I saw what could be done with old beach cruisers and where I was told about this site. Thanks for your inspiration I know alot of others on this forum feel the same way!

I really dig the frame design on this one, especially how the seat mounts. The frame ends, the ipod holder, lots of very cool ideas.

My girl told me I should post some pictures without the tank so the frame can be seen better so here you go! Also posting a video. It was windy today so the sound isn't great. I'll replace it if I get a chance.
