Ok, so perhaps I am getting ahead of myself here, but that's how I typically motivate myself. Coming from a motorcycle background, and the fact that my best friend (my 6 y/o son) has quite possibly the coolest mass produced bicycle ever (20" Schwinn Stingray Chopper);
I think my first build will be a similar design, big enough for me, and call it "Miss Behavin'". I know I am not gonna be breaking any creativity records here, but for my first build i think it is basic enough to get my feet wet, as well as get me comfortable using my welder. I will get more creative as I go.
Having done lots of reading, looking at pictures and lurking here, I gathered some information, and ideas. One of which is a DEFINATE will be to use a Harley rear tire on the 16" stingray rim from the smaller stingray.
The front rim will most likely be a 26 inch rim with fat balloon tire. Leather pouch underneath the headlight. A cool mirror on the handlebars....
Add any ideas, warnings, input, whatever. The reason I said I am getting ahead of myself is that I have NONE of the parts, no donor bike, no tubing, nothing. Oh yeah, and no money.... Feel free to send me lots of freebies. :lol: 8)
