Ok Hooch your going to build Frank Zappa?? Or Frank is going to build your bike? Not near enough info on that one.

 

[Hooch]

[bucknasty]

i hope the first pic means your bike will have facial hair...i will definately vote for a bike with a zappa 'stache :lol:

 

[Hooch]

I was working on the stache till yesterday I shaved it!

 

[Hooch]

Finally some pictures to start
an odd french built road bike from the 1970s
Le Jeune Tour DeFrance............ hence the build name

 

[Gold Street Customs]

Cool another Mixte build ....now if I can finish my other stuff and get started

 

[mudagoye]

Oh man, world is uncredible.. in france we dream about old american bicycle with thousand of steel things on it.. and you in america you dream about our light frames! :shock:
....! If anyone want to exchange a spaceliner for a real tour de france's bike, tell me !!

Only YOU, would think of putting a 20" wheel with a triple tree fork on a Mixte!..............I LOVE it!

 

[Hooch]

there is white paint under the rust!
this is gonna be the rattiest unhacked up chopper bike out there!
oh wait I am going to hack it up yet some!

Looks like an Evil Knievel bike with those disc.

 

[excitebike]

that looks AWESOME!!! way better use for a roadbike frame

 

[Hooch]

cut the seat post out and put it behind the rear brake mount time to weld!

here is it compared to a very similar John Deere Mixte frame

 

[Tommy Atoms]

you tuned a ugly bike into a hot rod. nice job

 

[KOTA]

Best style of a mixte I've seen.........You may have to put shorter cranks on (small price to pay for COOL).

 

[aka_locojoe]

Cool! Different from the usual mixte mod.

I agree with this KOTA guy on the style. I have a small stash of these mixte frames and I'll have to try a build like that some time. Realy cool build Hooch 8)
