green tomato cycle

[rockabillydude]

so first of all a little introduction
my name is jan and like many here i was born with a wrench in my hand!
and this is a project i did to have my friends learn what those things on the end of your arms are for

so this is where we started the frame was an old heinz tomato ketchup promotional bike and the fork was a random old springer i modded a bit.

after stripping and painting

hoodriding it for a few weeks

a step further with REAL wooden parts of wich a few were made by my buddy max

tha saddle is his work and so is the chainguard

i made some custom lights from old moped parts and led`s

we dit this last summer when i was 19 and my buddies gijs 20 and max 18
it aint perfect but we had a blast!
and that was about all for the green tomato it is for sale now...

Seat doesn't look very comfortable but it looks very cool. Great use of wood

I built a wood saddle once for my wood bike. The saddle was not so comfy but better than some.
