Here she is in all her bare metal glory. The 32" Motorbike. I took a picture of a 1940s Schwinn motorbike, blew it up, and built this around a 32" wheel set. The frame, tank, chain guard, rear rack, drop stand, and truss rods were all built from scratch. The bars, fenders, and forks were modified and/or extended to fit the scale. These shots feature my wife, because otherwise it's difficult to see the size of the bike. Thanks all.

Really nice scale work , at 5' 11" for me It would be like being a dwarf turning up at a fun park. You need to be this tall to ride ....Awww booo. Beautifully done though
 
Unreal work all the way around on this, deven ! The details, and the shear magnitude of the balancing of the size of all the parts to this 32" wheeled frame; A++ !
Scratch built with a production bike look. You killed it! :41:

HOLY .... !!! That’s stunning
 
This bike is awesome all my regular riders are 28 inch bikes I would love to take a cruise on this thing .
Think you really nailed the scale as well even the saddle looks right .
 
Magnificent work man!!!! Love the pics with the MsScience too!!!
CONGRATS!
 
Over the top execution of your idea in use of the 32” wheels. I had one of the 32” wheel bikes that Walmart sold for a while. I can thus appreciate the scale of what you’ve done. Very nice!
 
A sleeper in the best sense. Everything looks so correct and effortless that the work required to get it there is almost hidden. Beautiful work!
