Mad Maxx Build (Previously Maxi)

[kelvin hahnel]

Only Major change left is a new sissy bar (just relocated a little bit) and Mudguards

We finished off the metalwork today!

Cut off and rewelded the derailleur hanger the right way round this time ( Oops, my bad! ) and cut, bent and extended the sissy bar to suit the new layback post Kelvin found. It has really stretched out the look as you will see when he posts his pics.

I did snap one of him riding on it though, fits him perfectly now!

As we were packing up Kel noticed the original reflector hanger on the bench and wondered how it might look on there, a minute later it was on there and bent to the right angle and it finished off the look nicely!

The bike needs this theme music now:

Haven't been up to much the last few days (messed up my hand doing stupid things.) Here's a few shots of what I managed to get done.

Stem Flip



Thinking of adding a chain guard? Thoughts?
Did a Crank Swap as well old one kept throwing the chain off

I'm not sure on the guard, will have to look at it more.
Kinda feels like it should be beefier, but don't know if it even needs one.

I love what you have done with this build. The proportions look perfect with you on it.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Love the eyelets on the seat cover! Awesome work!

I like the idea of a chainguard on it, just not sure how to place it with the 5 speed freewheel on the back?

Luke.

 

[kelvin hahnel]

was only thinking of the chainguard to hide the 5spd on the back a little going to paint the derailer im thinking anyway

As you know Luke I'm not a huge fan of chrome

 

[kelvin hahnel]

test building a custom shifter from another users thread hope it works



made a few small changes



not a huge fan of using pvc so i decided galv there's nothing like overkill

 

[Fv2]

I've read the thread you borrowed the shifter idea from, cool Idea.
I'm liking the galvanized upgrade

 

[kelvin hahnel]

Maybe they recognized the shipping address and tried to make up for it.

Kel came around again and we did some more work, including modifying a new frame for a future build for him, he showed me this shifter handle someone welded up for him:

I threw it away and built him a new one!

He has some cool stuff coming, stay tuned this his threads!

Luke.
