Great for trail riding. Then you could paint little moms with strollers being crossed out on the side of the tank.

I was actually thinking of having little decals made of a Toyota Prius and having them crossed out on the top or down tube.

Save me a tank and a crank.

I only have 1 tank, might use it, but not sure. Nothing special about the crank, but you like the chainring? Let me know Jake!

Went home to meet my wife for lunch, before she got there I went up into my bike bathroom to get something:



I knew when I first decided to build this thing last year that with all the extra weight I would want to address gearing to keep this from being a leg burner. When These Hyperco "Mike Spinner" bikes first showed up at Walmart I noticed the little sprocket on the 1 piece crank. Waited around till I found one for sale local, $5.



These Hyperco bikes come with a microdrive rear hub, but with the bigger sprocket on the Jesse James rear coaster, it should pedal REAL easy.

I was checking out the rest of the bike and it's basically perfect. A kid gave me a nice Haro frame, fork, bars, no seat or wheels. It has a nice 3 piece crank, same kid gave me the bent micro chainring off his Eastern BMX. I straightened it out and now with this Hyperco and the Haro I can make a decent bike, maybe for once I can flip something!!! I need some money for Olive Drab paint.

To be fair, most of them are mine.

Peatbog, a few, Kingfish can't be bothered, he's off vacationing around the world.

i love the "bike bathroom"! looks like the red cantilever is getting ready for a shower,and the black bmx bike is suffering from "start up" issues due to the overcrowding.

haha, good observations. There were more bikes in there until I did a scrap run a few weeks back. I had a '79 Murray Monterey with the red bike, but I sold it. There are 2 frames in the shower and a wheelset on top of the toilet.

I will be redoing this bathroom and keeping the bike theme, but losing the bike storage.

Hah you must have a very tolerant wife.
I cant wait to see what you do with this build.

Wow ... This build is already going straight to the toilet

I do have a very talented wife, but this bathroom is in the upstairs of my shop, which I shall be revealing photos of in the coming weeks. When I redo the bathroom I will be doing it like this photo that EVERYBODY in my church keeps showing me, and my wife likes the idea.



The only difference being that I plan to run flex pipe up through some handlebars to run the water through them. I have an old Raleigh to use for it.

Nope, coming *out* of the toilet.

...Nope, coming *out* of the toilet.

I predict it will still stink either way ...

The stench of defeat. (don't make any "de feet" jokes, I saw it coming)

Alright, I'm an enabler, enabling you to continue your quest for the most posts prize
So, good bike to start with and great theme.
Think a side car is in the works but got lost in all the posts
Best of luck and Thanks for the "yuks"
