  |
|
Well this is another one of my stupid projects. I wanted to get an old car to muck around with but that costs too much money, and takes up to much space and time. So i've decided to chop up a few old bike that I have laying around and make like a custom pushbike. This is it now :  THis is a VERY dodgy version that i did of what it may hopefully look somthing like when its finished. :
Anyway i'll see how i go. Hopefully it will turn out a bit better than that picture.
First thing that I am doing is extending the rear forks by cutting the full rear fork off another bike. Then I will cut the bit off this bike where the wheel hooks on. Then sliding the other forks over the top untill they are tight then welding them together.
I also have to move the seat back and lower it buy changing the seat mount and angling the front wheel more and getting a set of ape hanger handlbars for it.
Wish me luck. I think i'll need it.

You should consider triking it. Its a little extra work but it would defiantely look FAT when finished!

Thats nice. I think i'll just stick with the 2 wheels tho. That looks just a little bit tricky for my first one. Maybe if I make another one.
Look at this thing too: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dv3gxut3Oc&feature=channel_page
