I had a lot of fun riding this up and down our largely straight hill top road in the sun after finally taking it out of the workshop

I like this bike because I have managed to create something like a style of bike that was popular in the US but almost non-existent in the UK. We had the Raleigh Chopper, but that was the type of bike where the frame was created to suit the style rather than building the style onto an earlier style of bike.

Whatever, I never had a Chopper, but now I have something like it

It has been fun riding it up and down the road on a quiet sunday, in between the occasional combine harvesters.

I might level out the seat, or maybe not. I rode for years with the seat sloping, partly because it seem to make it easier to ride without any hands on the handlebars. I was truly excellent at riding without touching the handlebars.

The single gear was a great choice - it felt a little reluctant to engage when I first got on the bike, but it soon got its act together and has not been a problem since.

Come thursday, I will be off work for about three weeks, I can see that I will be riding this a lot around the village!

Oh, and the barns are all mine

Looks like a wheelie machine

Yes, while I was never any good at pulling wheelies on those rare times I attempted them, I reckon even I could pull them off on this bike!

Great job!
This angle highlights just how small the front wheel is, which I think is very cool

Very unique Euro rat ride.

Has a clown vibe to it... We have one every year. Gives a smile. Love the sissy bar

What an amazing lil' beast! Great job!

Very cool build. That seat looks way comfortable.

I enjoy the ingenuity on this bike Geepig. I always enjoy your building topics and great use of parts.
