Vienna waits for you

Hi.

I'm from Vienna, Austria. Not Australia :wink: (no kangaroos).

My Name is Wolfgang. My Last Name, Fruitmayer, in german Obstmayer.
This are the first types of my nick: wo
The second part is the reference or adorable to the Star Trek Universe.
The United Federation of Planets. Voila wo-ufp1 :D .

Btw. I have a license plate with thees words. Here in Austria, you can choose a wishnumber
or wishwords for that. That cost "only" 181€ (appr. 254$) :shock: .

I saw a picture of an Massey Boardtracker in my forum, called Bikeboard http://www.bikeboard.at/.
After a little bit of (re)search I found what I'm looking for/or dreaming/want:
http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewto...k=t&sd=a&sid=66b1a764550b297102fe0f35747af580 :D

Now, I want thees, that's so cool 8) .

Anyway.
I'm not a bikebuilder or custombilder (for that, either I had not the education :cry: or two left hands) :cry: .
But I have ideas :idea: . So I let other work for my.

I bought a classical but NoName frame with wheels, brooks leather saddle and a sachs 7 speed gear.

Than I attachet it with, direction indicator (turn signal), turn signal relay, a Motorbicycle Mirror, an Airzound :shock: , front LED's and rear Signal Led's, a squeak "Bell" (duck; called Tom Turbo):


and a 29 Liter Top Case:


You can see the red turning light. It works, but I haven't a (real) fixation :(.

To feed with a 12 Volt, 3,2 mAh 1,25 kg lead gel accumulator.
Not the best idea = rechargeable (from time to time, and I had no accu empty or else indicator)
Maybe I will upgrade with a internalt front dynamo.

That's my purchased Felt Red Baron Cruiser:

He was wonderful, nice, very beautiful, but too heavy. And the wheels also very heavy.

For my next project, see above (Massey Boardtracker), is a heavy, very heavy wheels, a springer fork,
and a front drummbrake or a discbrake and rear a rigid gear (aka fixie).

And why the tread title "vienna waits for you"?
Because I'm a great Billy Joel Fan. And thats one of her huge repertoire.

Btw. my homepage (german language): http://char.esmartstudent.com/mtb_startseite.htm

Sorry for my bad english respectively my bad grammar.

Live long and prosper
