legburner said:I think this thing looks killer as is. It's ratty as heck and you know it'll stop people in thier tracks for a look. :shock: I like the stickers on the rear wheel the most.
It's funny what some people can do with what they have at their house.
This is one of the coolest freaking bikes I've seen. I didn't want to see it be painted, but the result is crazy good. This bike is a freak!
Totally awesome and an undeniable work of art.
Personally, I would stay away from white walls, especially if you are going with nascar type numbers. I would totally have left the thing the original copper/gold. You started from two Schwinns and it was almost too good to be true. Anyway, it's still the sickest thing I've seen for a while.
Indeed one of the coolest things around right now, i cant wait to see whats comming next.
I hope something like this is in the making 8) ,
or something like this would make it even more evil looking,

thx guys.
this really was one of those, "this is what's kickin around, lets see where it takes me" kinda build.
there was no clear game plan, and had no idea what i'd end up with. that being said, i am very pleased with the result.
man, that gas mask light is incredable! and i know just the place to purchase dirt cheap gas mask's ($5-$6 for kids)
perry insisted on being in the photo

Cool!(that pic almost looks like an album cover for some sick band). 8)
The grey of the mask almost matches the tank insert too.
Perry looks kinda agitated, did you try the other gasmask on him? :lol:
hahah perry. my cat helps me type sometimes
laughing @ your daughter (well laughing with her, not at her) :lol:
kids say the darnedest things.
edit* without thinking, i typed the short forum for "laughing my ... off."
figured i better change it before ya saw the post.
the forum censored version of my text seemed even more offensive than the uncensored version.
"blank @ your daughter" :lol: :lol: :lol:

chainguard (putting unwanted exercycles parts to good use)
Would you have close up pictures of how you attached the chainguard to the frame? I'm curious if you drilled into the frame, or fabbed up tabs to wrap around the frame.

Re: chainguard (putting unwanted exercycles parts to good use)
actually, a little of both.
the front clamp is a fully ajustable chainguard clamp i scavanged off on old supercycle 10 speed frame i have in the back yard. it was a little big, so i used an innertube shim. (will also protect the paint from the clamp)
i just had to drill 2 holes in the chainguard to match the threaded holes in the chainguard clamp.it would be an easy enough bracket to fab out of a bolt, a few nuts and a 90* piece of steel.
the back, i shaped to fit the frame with my dremel, then just sunk a self tapping screw into the frame.
theres a washer on the back of the chainguard, so i could tighten it right to the frame.
