Cleveland Welding Build *Updated*

Re: Cleveland Welding mystery bike

For thick bricks, you need 24 inch rims, and really the only two problems with motorizing it would be keeping the tires clean and possibly drive chain clearance.

Re: Cleveland Welding mystery bike

ok thanks....i looked a little more into it and im just going to buy the "quick brick" ires instead

Re: Cleveland Welding mystery bike

another update...no pix...

changed my mind on the color...im gonna be going with a dark red instead...that orange was wayyy too much


sent my rims to be trued at a bike shop...picking them up on thursday also ordering my cream colored "Quick Brick" tires


i realy want a tank for the bike so im gonna be making one out of wood....it gonna be wide once its done being made and i know it will fit im gonna cover it with bondo to smooth it out and it will be getting painted as well.....i was thinking about putting "Indian" logos on the tank but im gonna see if i can have someone make them say "Taylor" instead (my last name)....ill post pix as soon as i get the frame and forks painted

Re: Cleveland Welding BTR *Paint*

Really sharp, I like the paint and the rear fender idea is really cool.

Re: Cleveland Welding BTR *Paint*

Thanks dude...it was kinda painful to cut the origonal fender to make it but i think it was worth it in the end :mrgreen:






all i need now is a seat post....what size is the one i need for this bike? (seat is being held on with a chapstik tube lol) i also wanna get a laid back post

 

[SylusMk2]

Re: Cleveland Welding BTR 90% Done!!!

Bike looks great, digging the beehive on a BTR-style setup.
To find your seatpost size, if you don't have a caliper to measure it with, use an adjustable wrench. Tighten it around the seatpost until it's snug, then measure the distance between the jaws of the wrench. Chances are it's either 5/8",13/16", 7/8". Or someone on here has to know the size of a CWC seat post. :mrgreen:

Good luck on the rest of your build.

Cheers,
Dr. T

Re: Cleveland Welding Build *Paint & Tires*

havent updated ina very long time...i have been piecing it togeather to get to where i am now....

i decided i want fenders a rack head/tail light and even a chain guard...bars are from an old LaJolla bike i used to have seat i stole from my $20 Schwinn Racer rack is from a friend who donated it the fenders came with the frame when i bought it...wish i hadent cut the rear one tho actually looking for a new one

mixing it up...holding on to the beehive but swapping it out for a truss rod fork bought from Dodgedart using this copper as the trussrods tho need a few things to make it look just right ohh and the frame will be getting powder coated in the future

Re: Cleveland Welding Build *Paint & Tires*

Somehow missed this thread. It's like looking at 3 or 4 builds in one.
Wicked in every way!
