Re: monark "chicken coop special" mock up and a good story
dont like the seat or tires (tires arent whats going on so thats okay)
and heres my good story. i was out in my front yard taking this picture when i got to be a cowboy for a while. neighbors horse was in its front yard, thought it was tied up. then it went to our other neighbors yard. "oh ...., that thing is loose" then it started running "...." grab a lead and chase it. dude in random car "hop in! we'll get it" ride up next to it, open the door.horse breaks the window. "f@%? this!" get out of car. chase the horse to a yard with dogs, it gets scared. clip the lead on it, long ... walk home with stubborn horse. f?@$ you horse. running sucks
holy heck! it fixed my sailors mouth. i thought i cought them all.

Re: monark "chicken coop special" mock up and a good story
last of of today.
on your way home, find a rusty, completely shot brake pad
clean it up
bolt it on
and in five minuites, your bike sits afew inches lower, and is a tad bit longer.
(you will have to drill a hole in the"bracket" to bolt it in a second place, just so it stays)

Re: monark "chicken coop special" mock up and a good story
so please, i would love some input. also need some input on the new front forks. im not sure it theres to much gap on the top. it looks like it, but then i also know its the right size for the rime. so again, some opinions.
new forks added some chrome, i like that part.
What what?! forward rake on a bike?! unheard of! :mrgreen:
and the sun was setting.
you sir, beat me to it! i was going to ask for some opinions on a paint job. ive been thinking either leait and clear coating the "patina", or burgendy and cream.the_canuck said:

Re: monark "chicken coop special" mock up and a good story

mentioned liscense plate
tried these on for size. like the stance, but the looks are . . .ehh . .. ill paint them white tommorow and see it then, but they probably wont stay.
Re: monark "chicken coop special" mock up and a good story
Interesting idea with the velcro, how heavy is the light? My only concern is that if you're riding this bike on any surface besides a glass-smooth piece of terrain (a rare surface in my experience), the vibration of bumps might knock it loose and damage it. Plus, it's rather embarassing to have to stop biking, and turn around to pick up parts of your machine (it's happened to me and man did I feel goofey, in front of a high school after final bell with lots of kids out and around none the less

i honestly thought that the velcrow wouldnt hold. but what didnt hold was the adhesive. when it warmed up it just peeled off. (to:Strings_and_steam)

Re: monark "chicken coop special" mock up
Great buildup im 16 and not nearly as talented! i wouldnt try the velcro I'D tie flexable metal from the light to the frame and weld it in place. Is the brake pad going to stay in place? if it gets loose the wheels touching the frame which at some speeds will not be pleasent.

Re: monark "chicken coop special" mock up
yeah, the brake pad stays inplace, there is a second bolt to hold it in place with no pivot, and after bolting it on, its just like tightening up a rear wheel. i have another brake pad that is shorter, and i bolted it on. rode it and it worked, but i didnt like how high it sits.wolfy said:

Nice lookin light, I do a lot of steampunk projects, and that looks like candy to me
For your light, what about something like this?
