Bike Of Frankenstein

[aka_locojoe]

The Ugliest Bike is getting a makeover. Hopefully in time for Hallowheelie. Painted it yesterday.

 

[Dan Jose]

Wow thats ugly? I must have no taste then, love to see what it looks like when its done.

I'd put Stegosaurus spines going up the back or paint it as an ode to the Dr. Frankenstein car in the original Deathrace 2000 movie. Something about that bike reminds me of it...

 

[Dan Jose]

Cool! Lets see it happen, I liked the car in that new sex drive movie and was thinking of building my black phantom around that.

Looks like you got a good start.

Here's a crazy idea,

Drill some random holes in the tubing then find a place on the frame that you could open up and drop in chunks of dry ice and a lil water and you would have the worlds first SMOKING bike.

Thanks for the comments.
Here's some parts I may be using.

you do realize that you will have to bring it to Iowa for this guy to ride:

:lol:

Maybe you could add a couple of silver plug thingies that stick out of the neck tube. :lol:

Yes I had thought of that too.
Got a ton of ideas but doubt I'll get to them due to lack of time.

Here's my tire/wheel combo. They're knobbies. Hey maybe I should enter this in the klunker build off :lol:
Markm I intentionally put the valve stem opposite the lettering as to not take away from frank :wink:

What I've got going for me so far...
The paint is meant to look like frankenstein but the bike can also easily be transformed in to the Incredible Hulk bike.
Igor served as my tubing bender for the top tube.
The knobby tires have the same tread pattern as the souls of Frankenstein's boots.

thatismytruck, I recognize that guy. The notorious bike snatcher of Iowa.

 

[aka_locojoe]

Not getting much done. Maybe I should step away from the computer.

 

[Dan Jose]

Awsome.

 

[Markm]

cool!! Being a Huge Frankenstein fan, Im loving this!!! Funny you remembered the valve stem comment :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[aka_locojoe]

Well I didn't get to the details I had planned but went ahead and got it ridable for Hallowheelie tomorrow night. Maybe later I''l work on it more.

Looks great. Definately a Frankenbike. That Brooks is nice and aged.

 

[elvis51]

randy did you make that headlight yourself?

Easy E

 

[aka_locojoe]

Thanks Cman.
Elvis I did make the light originally for my RRBBO1 bike viewtopic.php?f=8&t=548 I repainted it for this bike. It's a little tin Easter bucket I got at walmart I believe. The lens is from a lantern style flashlight.

Added a sticker to it before the ride.

 

[user 135]

did you make that sticker? nice and aged.

Yes it's just Avery See Through Label paper done on my printer. The surface of the seat tube is rough and contributes to the look I suppose.
