Rodeo Bike

Postby rickpaulos on Sun Jul 31, 2011 6:55 pm

Please watch the intro video. Still pictures just don't do this bike justice. It's performance art. Style in motion.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_9DreLrURA

Long video version (15 minutes in length). The first 2:30 is the same as the intro. Then a bunch of short clips added on.

build thread is here with more pictures: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=41350

Close up of Rear Wheel spoking pattern - aka Crows Foot - every 3rd spoke is radial with the two adjacent spokes crossing the radial. Then each triad is inverted to prevent spoke overlap at the hub.
Image

Close up of Rear Wheel installed.

Arron Ross Grips by Odyssey - cool. Whip Spin Hop
Image

Nice Western look saddle.
Image

Crack in the plastic cover doesn't affect the strength.
Image

Stock handle bars from a box mart bmx bike.
Image

Wheels "down". Check that pedal to ground clearance. The pedals just brush the pavement at times.
Image

Wheels "up"
Image

Both Wheels "Back" - watch those toes. The knobby tires like to grab on to big feet.
Image

Front Wheel Forward - Rear Wheel Back - Longest looking wheel base view.
Image

Front Wheel down - Rear Wheel up - Maximum downward tilt.

Holy Moley! That has to be one funky ride.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

I've been waiting for this one!!!!!

The bike is mesmerizing to watch in the video, it plays and optical illusion and makes it look like the frame is made of rubber. I wanna ride that SOOOO bad!

Yeah, my next one is going to be smaller. 20" wheels on a 24" wheeled bike for younger kids to ride.
