Let's see those things never meant for a bike on your bike!

Found both of these in my Dad's barn. About 50 of these old locker tags. Riveted one on the rear fender.


An old drawer pull, minus the ring, on the front "fender"

I'm not sure why I didn't post this one earlier on. Sickle blade chainguard. Some farm implement for a rear fender, carb parts, and about 20 lbs of unneccessary steel.

Simple welding rod fender brace

All of these were beautiful bikes. I really dug the rear hub/frontwheel suicide brake. That,and the use of car tail lights. It's also good to see peeps still riding burrito bikes. To the guy who built the drop spindles out of brake shoe backings, I gotta try that myself. I got some scrap steel laying around I think.

i like this. hard to tell in this pic (i never took a specific pic of it) but there's a piece of square tube welded to the middle of the front handlebar for something similar, but i never worked out what it would be



also in relation to the thread, the backrests are from a motorcycle, the thicker foam grips on the rear handlebars is pipe insulation, and the saddlebags are backpacks.

I sold a guy a set of '58 Ford emblems he was gonna put on a Western Flyer X53. Maybe he'll post some pics.

NICE RACK! That thing is clean!

+1 Nice work!

Would it be possible to take a "pan-out" pic to see how it all looks on your bike?

[benhiers]

One thing i want to do (didnt work out the first attempt) is to wrap a frame in barbwire and if i ever learn to weld i want to weld spikes going dow the top bar or fill in the middle with spiderweb

I had the same idea with barbed wire, but I never did do it, because I just imagined all of the snags on clothes and other materials. Even blunting the barbs wouldn't help with all of that.
