What is your dream bike build?

[LukeTheJoker]

Just as the title says, what is your dream bike build? Money and parts availability no object...
Post up a drawing of the bike or pics of the parts you want to use or both!

Here is mine:

700c carbon disc rear wheel, 26x1.25 spoked front, 120 tooth front sprocket and 42 tooth rear, hand made Cro/Mo frame, Kelly style adjustable bars, but only adjustable on the ends not from the middle.

Way outside my budget and equipment set up, but I do intend to get close to it. Have to change to normally spoked wheels, probably the same size front and rear, and a mild steel frame...

Already got the sprockets thanks to member "BarnBikes"

The big one is pretty close to 24" across, that is why it was made in two halves for postage to Australia...

That's a wicked cool dream build Luke!!
My Spaceliner ended up being my dream build,
Can't build anything else as fun or that turns as may heads LOL
I'm going to keep dreaming though...

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Love your Spaceliner Steve, that thing is awesome!

A couple of years back a toasted Elgin Bluebird framed popped up on Ebay. The rear section was squashed, but the tank area was intact. I wanted to buy it and turn it into a hardcore rat. The purists would have all had three strokes!
To this day I have wanted to see someone do that. Too bad that frame still sold for like 700 bucks!

For me it would be a real early Indian Board tracker, one of those pedal start jobs!

Anyone of these if I had the money - http://www.enorm-ebike.at/ but going to learn bike maintenance soon working with a charity that recycles bikes and sends container loads to Africa, hopefully the skills I learn will start me on my way to build something nice, starting with my electra rally sport I have, but eventually my ambitious plans include starting a cruiser only shop in the north of the UK on my scenic coastline as nobody else has done it, maybe 2 or 3 shops in the whole of the UK but we need a scene here, we already have a good surf scene and I think it would compliment it well!

Every bike I build is a dream unfortunetly I have been so busy lately I haven't even finished the last one I started

 

[barnbikes]

Call me crazy. Wonder how I would haul it?

 

[LukeTheJoker]

You would need a giant roofrack Jon! Just watch out for low bridges...

Well My dream bike has been to build a 1910 Indian boardtracker replica w/ a motor...
This is what I have so far...

I have the motor,found a petcock,have a better and lower seat post...
I wanted to put creme boa-g tires with 26' coaster, But not sure if I would have the clearance.
These a 24' x 3.00 on it now,and I have to deflate to get them in ?
So all I need is leather grips,tires(either creme boa-g or creme thickbricks tires)
A rear 26 or 24 coaster rim...
Down the line I will invest in a set of red rims 60-80 mm wide...
Need to fix the front fender as I placed it on wrong...
Also cut out a spot for the motor chain to enter...

 

[LukeTheJoker]

I love that thing Funk! Could you stretch it slightly to get your desired Boa-G's on? I know you know how to weld...

Luke.

 

[Pushie Pirate]

Funkme I just wet myself that is what I want, so tell us more did you build or buy that?
Is she original, what year, what size engine, how fast, how many built, as you can tell I'm frothing!

 

[mikeeebikey]

I want a Monark

The width is perfect,I would have to extend the dropouts...I would prefer not to as the frame is a original Monet Goyon

Lol... Somebody get this boy a diaper and a napkin...
Ok so the frame and girder(parallelogram forks) are a Monet Goyon M11 built around 1933-1935.
I am just putting a normal 2 stroke 60cc china motor in it...I think it cost me around 100euro with the shipping the frame.
Will purchase another frame and forks and hopefully a Villiers original motor.Maybe just restore one,or another boardtracker.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Wow! Sorry, did not realise it was an original frame of some importance! (I thought you made it!)

I wish,but when I find things old,and whole,I try not to change to much.That's if thr is not to many around...Just wondering if it is worth it to extend 2inches,will sit and give it another thought.
