BOSS ROSS - another Ed Roth tribute

[gowjobs]

Bob Ross? Hey, I'm definitely gonna follow this build. A seat of a moped would be cool and fit nice with the frame, basically a fat banana seat.

Funny you should mention that - my boss just offered me a killer little minibike seat - it may yet see use.

Just got home from a week out on the road, and brought some more parts with me:

Picked up my front wheel from Rev106's shop on the way home... sweeeet!

He laced in this Schwinn six-shooter hub I'd picked up - I dig it.


From eBay came this super ginchy doo-wop seatpost clamper:


And my buddy Ed sent along this cool old cheater slick, which I'll use as a "rider" until she's ready to break down for paint.

My weekly update:

New, shorty aluminum fork on the way. Other than that, just foolin' 'round with a weekend mock-up.

Bob Ross?

I used to have hair like that. Now it's a bit more like Ed Harris.

Look under the tree! It's a happy little bicycle.

Okay, modified an old BMX stem to use the double-clamp blocks. This allowed me to re-install the stock 21.1mm I.D. fork to drop the front end back down.


Skinny, skinny SKINNY!

Wow this is cool! What size tire is on the front? I love how skinny it is, makes the slick look even bigger!

Yepp, I too agree on the tires! Perfect combo!

[fenderhole]

the double clamp stem looks really cool! how'd you modify it to work with the clamps?
