The Leg Sled

[Krist-off]

Hi everybody.

As I said in my presentation
Here are more photos and information about my bike.
(I have not published on "built from scratch" because it's not my work, I'm just the happy owner)

This bike was built in 2013 by my friend Marc* in France, with my inspiration and my wishes and mostly his talent !!
*(aka ESH for "East Side Heritage Cycles", you can found his page on the Blue Social network)

My wishes:
-Low position
-All the bike must be lower than his 26" wheels
-A platform/luggage-rack/foot-rest, integrated in the low tube
-Two awesome perimetrical brake discs
-Inverted brake levers
-3 speed nexus hub
-Wheels, 80mm rear, 56mm front
-346 tires
... and all what I forget


My inspirations:









And these two modified PG Hornet of my friends Fenek and ManX, I liked the low drive position but this frame is too small for my long legs.



and my first drawing



The building:

And the final result, my dream come true ...

Really, really, really NICE! Great fabrication skills!

Holy crap. Not my style, but AMAZING fabrication!

A truly skillful build, your friend is an artist! Did you clear coat the raw metal or is it going to be painted later?

 

[Pushie Pirate]

Man that thing is off the chart, will have a better look when I have more time, I like it!

 

[deven_science]

I hate builds like this, because it just lets me know how far I still have to go in fabrication.

Which is a compliment to this bike, in case that wasn't obvious.

Your ideas and the fabrication are fabulous ! I really like the Chicago Picasso seat

 

[Bigcam59]

That is beautiful! I salute you!

 

[Rat Rod]

Mind blowing fabrication...definitely a rolling work of art!

Thanks again for your comments, I forwarded them to the "artist".

NO PAINT = NO PAIN,
the only possible treatment is the ham fat
So pretty welds, I don't want hide.
