70s Schwinn “The Water Buffalo” Weathered bars flipped over, custom seat pan from and old #2 shovel and a seat stay mounted light. Fun as h*** but a little small for me at 6’2”.


This is my chopper project. Started with an old Huffy cantilever frame and went from there. Stretched up and out as well as lengthened behind the bottom bracket. Seat stays were also flipped.

Used an old 70 springer front end as a model for mine. Also started are the Z bars and tank. The jig is my method for getting the proper trail. Wheel is placed at the right spot then the fork is designed to match.

Fiberglass tank isn’t finished in this picture but it’s now black with a silver accent.
