BOBBACHOPS aka "Streamline Ratcycle"

[CCR]

Gotta make this quick, baby comin in july and i got plenty to do !!!

The Donor
60 Schwinn Tornado

The Splurge
Red Brick 26x2.125 Grand Tycoon Tires and Red Coke Bottle Grips (got em off Ratrod)

Tire Fit
This is what the bike looks like right now been waiting for a month for this thing to start :lol:

Bars
Not 100% but my gut says "these for now" ... may have something else cooked up

Color
Some primer to clean up that chrome !

Extras
May make it, may not

Another Mock-up
Dont know about the seat, it will do for know, truss rods need bent (heavyweight rods to middlewaeight frame) Im much happier with the wheels now too. Apes arent setting well with me ... I'll hafta see what i can do about that.

Tank
It was slow at work today and my brother was nice enough to replace the cardboard template I had with a piece of aluminum.

i think the apes look great, i like the grey primer wheels too

 

[bikeriderx]

Ditto on the primer! Did you make that yellow jig that's holding your wheel for paint? That looks really handy.

Did you make that yellow jig that's holding your wheel for paint? That looks really handy.

bought it at Menards(like home depot) for about 5 bucks, its soft rubber but it gets the job done without tearing anything up.
