West Coast Cheese Head... Finally given to its Owner

Postby FatBoy on Sat May 05, 2012 9:18 pm

Im building this West Coast Chopper for my brother inlaw who is a huge Green Bay Packer fan.I allready put a 26" up front a 24" out back ,Occ forks,some bars I cut up for it and a smaller crans set.This was gonna be my BO7 bike but I might end up stretching it about 10" and that wouldnt be legal...Any way my brother inlaw has been after me to build one for him so here we go!ImageImage

Like I said it can change in an instant and it had to...I mocked up a chain and it went right into the chainstays so I flipped the rear section 180 degrees and it looks even better and the chain will work just right!ImageImage

if you find the 24" rear wheel, you can still get a 3" tire on it with a little trimmimg, and sliding the dropouts down a little bit.
start where you are
use what you have
do what you can. arthur ashe
