I am starting with a 67 Typhoon. Pretty much just using the frame. I have wheels, tires, forks and a stem for it .

There will be some pink in the build.

26" bmx forks are my first part that needs some work.

After some work with a Dremel tool and a file this happened.

Pink Skyway Tuff 2's. 20" for the front and 24 for the back.

Gonna put some ape hangers on it . Not sure yet what size. Need to mock it up . It needs to be comfortable to ride, cause I plan on riding the crap out of it.

Vintage frames with BMX forks are so cool!

Love having an outdoor bench . Almost ready to start test fitting parts.

The same thing that I thought of doing to one of my bikes that has those totally stupidly large ape hangers that I made

@mongo5959 Definitely like that "outside of the box" idea with this build

Need to get the seat and wheels on it then I can figure out what size bars to use.

That stem trick seemed oddly familiar... Then I remembered:

Hadn't seen that one. I've seen a few low rider bikes with Springer forks do something like it. Haven't seen any bmx fork done this way though.

I actually wanted to say exactly this - that I have only seen it on lowriders with bent springer forks. But then I remembered this shiny bike from last year's build off (13).

Now that I think about it I do remember that bike from the build off. Guess I didn't pay enough attention to the details on it because I don't remember the stem being like that.

I was pretty sure he only tried it during the build. Then I was surprised to see that he kept it in the final version.

It's an idea worth copying. I'll try it on the right bike.
