Ok this is my 2nd build in 40yrs, my 1st was a Raleigh 20 with a car steering wheel, at 11yrs of age, got some weird looks,
Now after 3kids and lots of old bikes from those kids I decided to make a gangster looking harley type thingy bike,
It started with a 240/40/17 car tyre for the rear and a 26 mountain bike cheapie front disc wheel,. Lots of love and care, welding in dressing gown, gumboots and scarf I worked on this bike during the day while resting from night shift,. By my own admissions I am The worst welder in the world, I've only just stopped welding in thongs or even bare feet some days so dont be surprised to see blobs of weld holding everything together,
1st pic is building a rear sub frame around the rear tyre, being the centrepiece of the build it was the place to start,
