Each year in Cleveland TN we put on a bike show called Get-A-Grip Bicycle Show, Swap Meet and Drags. It is the fourth Saturday in March of each year with this year being on March 23, 2013. Here is a copy of our T-Shirt desin for 2013. We will be selling these once they are printed at $20 each includes shipping to lower 48 states and will post when they are availible.
Each year we give away a custom built bike and here is a picture of the one given away last year.
This year will be no different and we are currently building the bike now. We started with a 20" Columbia frame and a few parts that came with the bike. Here is a shot of the bike dissasembled.
Now that we have it apart we have a good idea of what we need and have an idea of the build. Since we put on a drag race at our show, we will build this to look like a Bobbed up Sporster race bike. First I built a tank out of wood. I took a 1X6X6 and cut it into 3 sections and glued them together to achieve the thickness I wanted. I then took cardboard and a pen and made a templet for the tank by placing it inside the frame and drawing the deminsions. I then placed the template on the wood and cut it out and smoothed it out with sandpaper until we acheived the disired look. The tank will be black and orange. I have now painted it black and here it is.
