Very Nice!

thanks all! I went to my local bike shop and they had one :D. They are a great group. Course, that part cost more than I spent on the bike itself :lol: . I got it adjusted and it shift and rides good.

Looking good. I really like the fender and the use of the second bar.

I did not know that they owned mongoose also. the rear derailleur is Shimano Tourney tx35. I went to the Shimano and others and they do not sale the hanger. I will look into the Pacific. Thank you.

I know wallyworld bike are not great. But I have been practicing my welding on them, so with this package deal off of cl this bike only cost me $13 and some change. It need the hanger for the derailleur in the rear. I have extra derailleurs but this one is shaped to fit in the machined area...

yes, liking the home built springer :D

That is a Awesome build! I really like riding my continental. But that look would make it so much better. WOW!

I am not sure if a chrome shop would do it to spokes, but part of the chroming process is copper layer, if you can cover the threads (or chase them later with a die) and have a chrome shop stop at the copper layer. :idea:

very curious, need to see more :!:

Not sure if the paints are the same (so might want to try a small area out of view), but with my 65 truck I used a 2000 grit on most of the paint and 1500 grit on the rusted areas. Then sprayed the truck with a clear. Cool bike!

Thanks, it is about 8 feet long, one foot shorter than the recumbent I built. My truck is 65 with a 61 hood and grill, most say it is the wrong hood for the truck, but I really like it. And in the 6 months it has been back on the road it has hauled a lot of bikes. :D

I think I got 10 speeds working. Here are some progression pics. Got the Jockey shifter working thanks to HippieKruiser ideal. I built a seat back. Then the rack on the back is made from an old metal swing seat

I just used a modified version of HippieKruiser ideal and it worked well! These are all great ideals. Thanks here is mine, I just slipped my seat clamp over a piece of leather.

very cool!

Yes, this bike is also very smooth riding. I just sprayed some lube in all the areas just to see if anything was grinding, but all good so added some new tires and wiped it down. Course, still haven't decided where I want the brake levers.

very cool! cannot wait to see more.

awesome! great color combo!

Not sure what to call it, but it's a cross between the two styles of bikes I really like. A recumbent and a burrito bike. Started one day trying out my tube bender (I have had for years but never used). cut up a old Huffy and started welding pieces on, along with building a jig to help out...

Love the bike! WOW!

Elgin just outside Austin.
