Rosemary 2

[Hooch]

ok since I am the king of bicycle attention deficit disorder
I will show you my latest project
I got this frame from the same chicken shed where I got the first Rosemary
its a 37 colson motorbike frame that has been chopped and a different back half added. I added parts from a Monark springer to a Schwinn breeze fork.
this is a shot of the initial mock up.
lots more to come on this one
24x3s are on order

haha i get first post. darn you hooch finding a colson i want one so bad. there is one in my area a chick rides and she wont sell it to me. to make it worse the poor thing was painted purple. i dig yours though

 

[Hooch]

i got another one for ya but you better shrink lol
its a mid 1930s 20incher with glue on tires! lol
it would be really cool fixed tho
check out that rear frame that rocks!
and how many skiptooth 20" bikes have you seen! lol

[Firewalker]

man you got me all worked up on the last build...... then quit! thats like watching an action movie but never seeing the end....

this one one looks like it will have a great finish go all the way Hooch! :mrgreen: :lol:

 

[Hooch]

this one I wont ever sell lol
for one its the last bike I have I got from this great old couple
and 2 since the back half of the frame was destroyed and I welded a different one on It will never have any value except to me

 

[karfer67]

That frame looks great with the new tailend on it. The bottom bracket is now further forward

I've been toying with the idea of running a 24x3 rear and a 26x?? front on my next bike. Would i need a "special" rim to run a 24x3 rear?

Hooch,

Cool frmae, can't wait to see this one play out.

Tomb,

They will fit on most 24" rims, the bigger issue I have had is with clearance through the chainstays of the frame. Sometime there is a chain clearance issue too, but a well placed spacer or two can usually solve that.

What! No 12 inch wheel on this one?
Doesn't matter you gotz my attention.

thats coming along nice!!!!! cant wait to see it finished :mrgreen:

 

[Hooch]

changed my mind on the wheels
went back to a new departure singlespeed coaster set
monark springer
western flyer 24" crank and sprocket
the seat is off a mid 30s colson juvenile bike
took it for a ride to make sure it worked
now time to take it apart and give it a proper finish

 

[fattroy]

Very cool Hooch!

 

[Protowrxs]

How cool.. it has an attitude just sitting then. Nice. Gonna be awesome after the finishing.
