Now here's the frame with the first coat of corn yellow

And here's the rear rim

Adding the checkered flag sticker

Here's my suicide shift.

And my handlebar

So far these are the latest. I will take care of the frame stickers tomorrow.

that rear wheel is wicked! can't believe its made from 3 rims!.... your workmanship is amazing.... seeing how its done in your backyard and not in some high zoot workshop...

amazing!!! thanks for sharing...

Here are the smaller parts I segregated for black chroming

Just had my bell plated with brass, add more bling baby!

Just got home from the painter, got the frame and other parts.. and then all of the mock-up Gods went up to me and said "we have to see what I would look like.. just a bit". hehehe
Things got crazy and then some.. :mrgreen:

I'm mocking-up because I want to see what saddle should I use for the bike. I chanced upon 2 saddles.. a Hotwheels saddle and a felt 3 spring saddle.
What should i use? Am thinking, use the 3 spring saddle for longer rides and the hotwheels saddle for shows and other special events.. hmmm.. kind of difficult for me.
Well, just take a look and see what am I talking about..

Here's the frame with the 3spring saddle

While here it is with the hotwheels saddle

Sorry, poor pic quality!

hehe thanks! sure bro! but makati is quite far from here, better bulk up with lots of vitamins haha :mrgreen: firebikes and the dyno roadster are the ones I like best, so I thought, why not make a bike inspired by those 2? Good thing it turned out nice can I see your bikes?

Now do I morph into someone like...

haha!

Now i'm thinking of building another one.. any theme/style suggestions guys? an ambulance would be nice, or an army bike or something..

 

[flea888]

AMAZING!!!!!!! I'm glad to see it finished! Very nice job!

Thanks! hmm... why not a fire bike? My house is just in front of our town's firestation, better check out the goods and see if i can do something like it

 

[flea888]

TAXI!!!

TAXI!!!

 

[Galtbacken]

Awesome! Every little detail looks good! Great job!!

why not a fire bike?

Yes, why not!!?? Start building!

 

[jesusfreak86]

looks good it would look even better with the checkers on the front tire to match the back one

I really left the front rim to be all black... but I'm also curious how it will look like if it had checkers also. Hmm..

 

[iRide Custom Bicycles]

It's come a long way from the original. Very nice job indeed!

Hey!

Been busy for quite sometime. Just want to post some updates of my Taxi Cruiser...

My chain has been hitting my rear rim, and sometime the frame also.. so me and my bud Edwin had some coffee and did some brainstorming..

So we thought of drilling through the frame..

chanced upon these rollers.. lucky enough, quite a color match with the frame

here's my bud Edwin working on the stainless flatbars..

he had to use a hammer and their anvil from the backyard to curve the plate like this

then he put a curve with the 2 plates that will be hugging the frame

slice n' dice like wolverine?! hehehe
