limo bike FINISHED !!

Postby champx on Mon Nov 08, 2010 4:00 pm

here is my bike handmade

I just used from head tube has built bike peugeot
there are only painting that is being

I made the wheels with a three-speed hub and coaster brake
tube used was bent with an old folding

The pedalboard is a giant bearing on where I milled two shells aluminum
I cut the handle in the same material and welded it all
to hold together, I rolled a piece of flat iron welded on the frame

the fork is voluntarily without suspension to avoid touching the ground, rolling


I could not answer a lot because I'm not very good in English and translations are imperfect
