    Lets See Those 26" BMX Styled Cruiser Builds

    Now we're talking. Nice Cook Bros build. Even Cook cranks. Those look like 185mm arms!

    Lets See Those 26" BMX Styled Cruiser Builds

    Here is one I did awhile back. Powder coated a crusty old Schwinn straightbar frame I had kicking around the shop. Widened some 24" Scrambler bars, Ashtabula stem and crank, Cooks replica fork and a Sturmey S2C two speed rear hub. Brooks saddle and Hunt Wilde grips. Schwinn Straightbar by...

    NonGoose 26 BMX project

    A little of both in my experience. If your a good welder (weldor) you can throw down nice welds even with a clunky old machine that is functioning correctly. If your a good welder with a really nice modern solid state machine with all the latest features, well, it's kind of like driving a...

    LAGUNA CRUISER

    Good one, thanks. I do have all the tools and have kicked it around. Would need a sample to get the specs. Thought about doing a 26" Champ Squareback or even a Kos Kruiser, too. I'd probably have to run and hide, though, as the BMX collectors just hate "repops", and would likely run me off...

    LAGUNA CRUISER

    Wow, nice Laguna! Choice of parts is perfect. Just a rear coaster brake, no front brake, so clean in that respect, and the stamped Ashtabula stem and steel Wald bars make this a real knock around the neighborhood machine. Funny how when I was a kid I avoided Wald parts, mostly the stems, and...

    Sportsman Electraflyer Cruiser

    Hi guys, Thanks for checking out my thread. Gas tank is pretty wide to fit the battery. It barely fits. Same with the controller, just barely. I built most of the components like frame, forks, tank and tool box, but did not form the fenders. Too specialized for my small shop. They come...

    Sportsman Electraflyer Cruiser

    Recently built this bike up. It has a longer rear frame triangle than my earlier electric bikes and has an updated engine case. As before the electric motor is hidden inside the fabricated v-twin crank case, making this a mid-drive electric. The 52v 30 ah battery is located in the gas tank...

    Sportsman Electraflyer Boardie

    Just finishing up another build. Started with a 135mm spaced Sportsman Flyer pedal bike frame. This bike uses a 52 volt 30 amp hour battery located in the gas tank. The battery controller resides in the tool box. Electric motor is hidden inside the v-twin crank case, making this a mid drive...

    Worksman's new offering

    Hi Guys, A little history. My first stretch and loop frames were based off the Worksman Industrial Newsboy rear frame triangle. I built the frame forward into my stretch and loop design. I moved on to full custom frames and bikes while keeping the same basic geometry. The new "Worksman...

    Sportsman Pedal Power Boardie

    Still need to lace up the wheels. I was thinking a Worksman front drum, Strumey two speed kick back with coaster brake, and aluminum rims with stainless spokes. Wheels get expensive, but otherwise I plan to keep this a pretty low buck build. Might not paint it or cover the seat. Sportsman...

    Sportsman Pedal Power Boardie

    Hi guys, I've been building a lot of bikes lately, all with motors. Some of my frames are entirely from scratch, others use parts from the Worksman INB. This bike gets no motor, and uses the Worksman INB rear triangle as a starting point. The frame is built from steel tubes and uses Worksman...
