I've been toying with the idea of making a 24", skiptoothed, ape and nanner style bike for about 6 months now. After several attempts, different paints, and a frame change or two, I feel I have finally nailed the look and ride I was going for.

There were several issues that arrived while making this ride, I had to piece together about 4 chains, make things fit, and wait on the right parts to be able to wrap things up, I took forever to find a seat that I felt looked best.

I was going polish the frame to match the apes, fenders, chainring and stem, but I figured that it looked great the way it was, bare metal but with some rust, I feel the coontail and seat material match the rustiness lol. The ride is GREAT, especially with a larger rear sprocket and longer crank, makes pedaling a breeze.

I'm going to get some small pin striping done on the fenders soon, and I'm waiting for my headlight to arrive, other than that. I'm calling it done.
 
I Like It!!!!!! Great Job :cool2::cool2:
Reminds me of my first "Muscle/Pig Bike" my Dad built for me in '65. We went to the bike shop and bought the "Hi-Rise" handle bars, new stem, and "Banana" seat. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of it and my little brother is standing right in front of it hiding the "Mattel V-RROOM". You can just see the on/off switch on the handle bar above his head. :grin:

Thanks man!

That pic of your old bike is awesome, I looked around for seat like the one you have mounted for a long time, never found one at a reasonable price though.

Great job! I like it, and this from a guy who's not always a fan of banana seats. I think it looks really good in this case.

Thank you,

I wasn't a fan at first but they have really grown on me.

I try and keep them flowing with the top tube, makes me tolerate them lol...
