New bike has some maypop tires. Just scored a sweeeeet tank off eBay! Found another frame in bike works basement. Get ta blueprintin'!! Peace

I wanna see this basement you speak of... fat tires, hidden frames, cobwebs... I'm in! Are you just wandering into local crackhouses and pulling stuff out when everyone is passed out?

I got a bike yesterday. I'm gonna flip the bars and call it done.



I had the frame and some parts from one of these before, but I foolishly didn't hold onto them. I've been riding this thing around, and it actually rides pretty well. Neither of my daughter's like it though, even with the purple and stars and girly look. That and it steers funny because of the rake. I'm thinking...well, not really sure yet, but I have a drag race theme in my head. Luckily, I still have a month to scheme.

Cool score. There are some nice parts on those bratz. Every time one pops up here they want too much for them though.

I'll give you 3 used truck tires for it.

If I had a tricycle truck, I'd do it.

Ahhh... I never heard him say co-op, I just remember him talking about a basement. Man, I think I'm the local co-op here.

About to go pick this up. It just might be BO7 material!

Enough length for two sidecars...

Enough length for two sidecars...

2 on either side...

If I use this I won't use the front crank. I will peddle the back crank but lay forward with my rear about where the front seat/rear bars are.

I had planned on doing something similar with a homemade longtail design, but the more my head is wrapping around this frame, I think it's the one!

Think of a limo stretch board tracker with a gigantic stretch banana seat / belly board!!!!!!

Yo I'm standing in "The Basement" at bikeworks and look to my left and see a Schwinn speedster! So I snag it. No seat, no tires and very dusty. Then in the scrap section I find a nana seat with sissy bar. Muahahahahahaha!! Cue up that Tom Petty "I should've known it" and Get ta thinin'!! Peace

Jake, we need some photos from your evil lair. It aint real unto there is visual evidence!!

Sidecar question.
I know most sidecars are attached in a fixed manner pretty much prevening much leaning with the frame.
I am thinking that if my attaching points are only along the line of the bottom of my frame, that I could actually make them pivot joints. This would allow the sidecar to remain level while the bike could lean left or right. Can you picture that? Any flaws in my logic or engineering???????
