Excelsior arch frame.

[Boardtrack fan]

I have posted pictures of this before but, I'm getting a little closer to finishing it. Still needs a skiptooth chain, grips and pedals. Actually I need about four skiptooth chains to get some of my projects complete. The seat is a Brooks copy by Velo orange. Cheaper than a brooks but, still not inexpensive. The handle bars are by Soma and look a lot like the old Major Taylor bars.

[Boardtrack fan]

Nope, always a bicycle.

that is one beautiful bike! love the arch top style frames. the seat-bar combo,makes it look fast just parked! like them boardtrackers, but at 6`2",275 lbs.,it`s hard enough to make to make a twin tube comfortable! :lol:

theres been a rash of wood track grips popping up on ebay and theyve been going fairly cheap too...

 

[ambman]

Looks great. Where did you snag that neat bike stand?

 

[tomb]

That bike makes me feel funny...

:shock:

 

[BLUEMEANIE]

[iRide Custom Bicycles]

Sheesh! I really lik ethat style of frame and that seat is too cool. Great bike!

Those truss frames are way cool. Do you have a source for your chains?

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

oh my!!! awesome.

 

[rgallen]

Great job. Besides having the look of speed, I bet it will be a super chic-magnet. Wish it was mine!!!!!

 

[Boardtrack fan]

Thanks for all the kudos. I got the bike stand from a guy on ebay. He is located in Canada and sells them a lot cheaper than the bicycle meuseum in the states. He makes them in aluminum and I think bronze. I have a couple of leads on chains but, I'm open to good deals!

What kind of rims are you using on your arch top frame?

 

[Boardtrack fan]

They came with the bike but I believe the rims are from a English bike(28"). The hubs are Newdeparture.
