Big Daddy Krate

[clinto141]

Well I started this last fall, and finaly got it to a point I like. It cost me a ton of bread(because of the og krate parts) and took alot of tweeking to get all the parts to fit together, but here it is... a 26 x 20 krate tribute.

Sweet!! What brand is the rear tire?

 

[gowjobs]

I dig it. You definitely captured the vibe, even if it isn't "to scale".

Big daddy has to come apart one last time for paint, and stenciling. But its built.
And does ANYONE have a line on a 26" Drag slick tire that will fit a schwinn rim.I would like to install it when it comes down for the paintwork.
Rear tire is a kenda cruiser.

Its pretty close to scale, almost everything is 4 to 6 inches bigger. couldnt find the 18 inch apes in a square schwinn bend, and did not want to pay to get a handmade set chromed, so i used these motorcycle apes.

This is the best Big version of a krate i have seen so far, Good job. I just wish the rear tire was a little more beefy.

The only thing that could make that bad boy rock harder is an engine....yep! 8)

You need one of these on the back if you're not using a Schwinn rim...

rear is a cheng shing 57-559 sizing. sorry I had not paid much attention to it as I did not intend to keep it on the bike. It was the biggest, and flattest tread I had hanging in the garage.
