I used to have hair like that. Now it's a bit more like Ed Harris.
Look under the tree! It's a happy little bicycle. :lol:

Okay, modified an old BMX stem to use the double-clamp blocks. This allowed me to re-install the stock 21.1mm I.D. fork to drop the front end back down.
Skinny, skinny SKINNY!

Wow this is cool! What size tire is on the front? I love how skinny it is, makes the slick look even bigger!
I agree, it looks great!ratina said:

Yepp, I too agree on the tires! Perfect combo!
the double clamp stem looks really cool! how'd you modify it to work with the clamps?

The front tire is a 20"x1" slick for a mini BMX bike running on an indoor track. (451mm rim like an S-7, but alloy).
I clearanced the blocks from the double stem slightly with a Dremel to match the hole spacing to the BMX stem's "pillow" base. Then I bought new metric hex-head screws for a more vintage look than the allen bolts.

BOSS ROSS is up and rideable, though the 3 speed seems locked in high gear. Plans are to cruise it at the Choppercabras' Spring Thing on Sunday.
Narrowed those bars bay almost 5" - should be able to slip through between stopped traffic with no problems now.
EDIT: No, all the custom stuff is yet to come. I just decided to check it out mechanically before I start on all the cool stuff.
Smart move. This is one of the best looking muscle bikes I have ever seen.gowjobs said:
Saw this old Girl Scout canteen I was saving to use for a minibike project that never materialized... not sure how I feel about it yet.
I think I'm happier with this placement:
I'll see if I can incorporate a bracket to secure it more positively when I fab up my drilled aluminum rear fender.

I serioulsy have a new favorite
I love it. You captures the image of a dragstar into it. The tires are the perfect couple, and the way it's angled, I just love it.
I'm planning on going to the spring thing too, when is it?

(p.s. I have a 3 spd shifter w/derailuer off my Murray F5 Eliminator. I think it's 3 spd. If your interested in it I'll sell it to you for real cheap....*wink wink*)

Spring Thing is at noon on Sunday, but people start showing up well before that. Expect the first events to start right at noon. All the details at http://atomiccycles.com. Is it a twist shift or a stick shift? I'm still considering the dual driveline setup, but I don't know if I have enough width in the rear of the frame to implement it properly.
Stick shift & I'll probaly miss the spring thing
