Trying to get started on my Momona (Fat) Tiki. Changed out bars to noname bmx, old cruiser saddle (better ride than stock without cover), a little artwork on my cutting board, er um, rear rack. For paint going with bright orange and woodgrain finish on rims. Having a ball riding this bike.

Don't go too hard on this thing. The crank shaft you will bend 1st!
2CHAINZ, what do you mean by the crank shaft (what part is that) will bend?
He means the part the pedals go into!

I always suggest for anyone who is going to "ride," as well as look at their bike, get 3 piece bmx cranks, they rock! Have to replece the pedals as the shaft size is bigger on 3 piecers. I get mine off Craigslist used, Profile, Sinz, Redline, GT, and more are all good names.
For no name stuff you can score new set ups with bottom brackets for less than $100.00!!!
While your at it get a smallish 36 tooth front sprocket, a 13 for the rear, and a really cool BMX chain, at least a chrome KMC.

I don't think you will need to worry about the crank shaft on these bending before you break the clutch assembly in the drive hub as it is the weakest part of the whole setup.

Back to the OP's build... looking KOOL.....
