When a crazy idea becomes reality

[Duchess]

I love everything about this—the work, the aesthetic, the intended use.

Thank you. You are all very kind.

Very cool. Thanks for re-posting older pix since the original ones don't show up anymore. Absolutely love this build.

 

[JD Rebel]

What?!?

 

[LukeTheJoker]

This came out awesome! Pure art!

 

[David Cooksey]

Thanks.
It seems like a lifetime ago that I did this!
It looks like it may end up in a transport museum as Frankie has grow out of it. There is also talk of making a go cart frame for it, but I'm not so sure. I have more projects on the go at the moment.
The "art deco bike" is still waiting in the wings, probably a Christmas project.

So that's it finished

I'd like to thank all of you for all your kind comments. I have really enjoyed making this.
What's going to happen to it now? Well, it's going to a friend of mine who wants to take his 3 year old grandson for rides up and down the beach front where he lives, creating lifelong memories for the lad. I like that.

Till the next crazy project......

Wah! I just realized how pathetic my builds are, I give up, leave it to those with real skills. I will still enjoy putting together parts to make a frakenmaggot and getting bikes back on the road but somehow it won't be the same after seeing this. Love it.

Always hard to sell a build you put so much work in, but sometimes it has to happen just to make room for new builds...
