Walker's got a Rickshaw!

[tomb]

I now have come up with a plan and a theme........

I think KEV came up with a great theme a couple posts up, 'NACHO LIBRE'-
You could paint up a powder blue/Metallic red combo, and stitch up a luchador mask- seat sortof like this:

While youre at it, stitch yourself one up to WEAR while riding it!!!

lolol :lol: I am going to go rent the movie

 

[Firewalker]

Well here we go! its hard to see in the pictures but the back part of the bike is bent to one side and there has been some Mickey mouse weld jobs. this will not do

After looking high and low I was not able to find the bike that I would like :? :? but Clothespin came by and saved the day and sold me a great girls bike made by NORCO. It was a great bike and it was a shame to cut into it.....but hey....this is what we do!

I found a set of 24" Dyno 3" but I also have the old set of 26" 77 spoke from the "slow and go!".......Chain gang lowriders have the matching set of 20" for the front! HUMMMMM?

here is the cool thing. The plan is to make this bike a picnic cruiser! I plan on painting it bright Yellow with lots of chrome and some pin stripe work..............that was untill my neighbour came by with this

a 50s Coca Cola cooler :shock: :shock: things may change!

one word...


NAH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Firewalker]

:lol: :lol: ROTFL you are killin me tomb!

 

[superflygeoff]

The cooler kindof dictates the style of this one, huh?

 

[Firewalker]

I'm heading out for the next week but before I left I wanted to weld it back together. I was so pressed for time I was not going to get it done....but my neighbour John wished to see it done aswell and finished it for me while I packed up the family......

now for the hard work strip /grind / fill

see you all in a week

 

[ricksterr1221]

i love it! i wish i had that bike!!

 

[Firewalker]

so I was able to get a little build time......I picked up a Fatti-O 3" tire the other day....man what A nice tire

right now I'm still doing a mock-up so please forgive the colours of the parts. I'm toying with the idea of the rear fender that I found. I found the back fender covered the tire too much ( a Fatti-O should be seen) so I used the front fender as the back .

I plan on putting on a rat trap on it aswell!

here is a clip with boy giving it a first time spin with the new back end

wait till you see the front rims and tires that are going on it :shock:


I almost forgot I also changed out the stem and handle bars to cattle horns :lol:
