Big Mouth

[poverty with a view]

I will call this frame "Big Mouth" I think I will make two of them. One for me and one for the customer.
So this bicycle will be started tonight since "Super Burrito Pastor" is at powder coat.
This one is for a guy in town. The whole bicycle will be made out of 1'1/2 tubing. He doesn't want any paint, just rust and the rest will be chrome. There will be a fake tank on this bicycle and I will have the old school monsters from the 30's lazered into it. There will be Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolf man, and the bride of Frankenstein on both sides. Orange grips and orange side wall tires. Single rim up front and a double in the rear with a 3 speed Nexus hub. I am making the frame and the handle bars, if I have time the forks too.

I hope you like it as much as I do.

I did some work last night

Looks promising,dude. And I like the idea of a double rim, 'cause one of my cruiser-friends built one himself and that looked wicked.
Can't wait to see more of this.

Definitely watching.

Thanks you guys for the compliments. Deven Science, pay close attention to how I do my rear stays. I will show you how to make them without kinking the material. All with a HF roller. Pedal on my friends. Blue 8)

I talked with member MikeS about how he and Kuttnhack do their Savage frame rear stays, and so I was thinking of trying his way for the next one, but I'll definitely be watching, to see if you have a different method that I might like better.

I cant wait to see this beast built pwav! How are you going to arrange the monsters on the plate? I think a mount rushmore esque thing would be sick !!

I start this one up today. I hired a helper so I can get these bicycles done in two weeks and not one month. I have 4 other bicycles after this one. I hope you like them all, as they are different every time. Not one bicycle is the same, EVER!!! 8)

Those two know what they are doing when it comes to bicycles for sure. I bend mine similar with my tube roller. A whole lot easier than trying to bend a tight radius with a torch. Keep up the building. 8)

This frame is close to 500$. The holes in the front tube and the monsters in the tank really make this frame pricy. I built a swing bike the other day for 100$ and he supplied the bicycles to cut up and use. I will post some pictures of it. Every frame is different as are the prices. None of my frames are the same. I won't make two of the same. One offs only. It feels good riding a bike that I know is the only one of its kind in the world.
:lol: Thanks for the compliments :lol:

It's unique, I'll give you that!

Also, it was cool meeting you last weekend.

 

[jackdaw]

That's going to be cool, that the visual weight of the line won't change, going from frame tube to chainstay. Gonna look trick, I bet.

 

[Hogaboom]

Can't wait to see this finished

Jackdaw, you got it. :lol: I think it will be such a different look than what most people are doing these days. I like a beefy looking bicycle, plus if you were to paint this it would make the frame POP even more. I like when my frames are the center of attention and not the wheels or what ever. Thanks everyone for the compliments. This will be another bike that I won't want to get rid of. I want to keep them all, well most of them.

Deven_science, it was a pleasure meeting you too. Don't stop building those bicycles, you are very talented.
Next time we ride you will have to take me to the Spud shop for lunch, my treat.
