Transformer finished 5-11

Here is my bike that I am entering into the build off. This is my first attempt at a build off and also the hacking of a frame! This one will be built for my son to ride because he would like to have a 50's style bike like mine. Boy's bikes in the 50's are hard to find down in the south so I figured I would make him one. Here Goes!




Boy that sure was fun using the sawzall!
Now I have to figure out how to weld or to braze.

I use a cutting wheel, I love it. As soon as you make the first "cut", you realize there's no turning back now! Ain't it great! GOOD LUCK and have FUN.

I beleive that I am going to try to braze it, I will get to use a torch!

I like it. That is what I am planning on doing to a Bantam I just got for my sons. Cut out that bar then use a convertable tank/bar that I have. Great minds think alike.

[carolina rat]

Here is the direction that I plan on going with it.

Here is a little more mock up. I will be losing the wheels for a set of coaster wheels and doing something about the fork.
