Design Exercise - chop-sickle inspired

[thatismytruck]

So I've been pondering this build ever since I saw the inspiration for chop-sickle in this thread. (I hope he gets the time to finish it soon.)

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=13150

So I slapped this together.

Boy loves it so I might leave it together for a little while. It'll prolly be a smidge difficult for him to ride, but he needs some bike fall scrapes. :wink:

Ya gotta finish it! That is one cool looking bike.

I'm going camping soon with a few other Airstream owners and I planned to bring my Airstream bike. Boy mentioned that I was working on a bike that looked a little like my bike. So I decided to finish it up. I need some black grips, some brake line for trusses and a little elbow grease to polish it up, but here it is:

how about some rivets?

 

[stretch]

put em down the length of the fenders and in a circle on the sprocket.

 

[Unchained]

Wow, that's really cool!

 

[Dephota]

Soooooo shiny! And if you want it even shinier use autosol

I finished up Boy's Airstream bike on Saturday. It might look better than mine!!

Thanks again to markm for that fender. You sent it to me for a front fender on my Airstream bike, but it found a home on Boy's as a rear. Hope you don't mind.

And thanks again to beatcad for the trade on that rear tire. It's perfect!!

that's way cooler than the Airstream bike. sorry. I can that today because you don't have the strength to throw anything at me.
