;D Does this count as odd? ;D It's my summer sunday cruiser.until my son got too big for his baby bac-pac we would get the sunday paper every week then go to the park.it's great for doing odd jobs about town but any more than a few miles and riding it starts too hurt,lol. at nearly 8ft long its a curse word to turn around in the street too!  |

I will be restoring an original chopper as soon as i can get a car to my parents to pick it up, and also fancy building my own from scratch, but need to learn to weld and buy an oxyacetelene kit first :-)

Tell me about california cruisers. What size wheels do they use? Do they use a fixed rear sprocket, or one of those pedal backwards to brake hubs?
I've been wanting to build a chopper, or some kind of weird bike, but the only old bikes I have kicking around are full size mountain bike style ones. At the moment I am leaning towards something vintage looking.

Coaster brakes i think - a fixies would be a bit scary as i don't you'd slow something that heavy with the grip from fat slicks and that riding position very easily.
although it would ve very cool - cruisers should not have any cables or levers
Bad enough on 1" slicks!

I used to have this african folding bike... everything on it was telescopic and I do mean EVERYTHING big square section frame mad as a teapot.. was always trying different wheelbases handlebar seat heights..
dad threw it out when it went rusty though as he reckoned it made the back yard look untidy

I built a silly bike this week, inspired by all the weird bikes on here. I will have to get some pics up, but I am rather camera deficient at the moment.

ooh, i built this back in 2004 when they were just launched in the uk, it was one of only 6 to first arrive in Bognor Royale, i had it an hour before i stripped it and rebuilt it like this, the guy from Schwinn saw it and went nuts, but he did take loads of pics of it and ranted on about it for ages. I never liked the lame paint finish it had straight from the box, scratched as well, bad chrome and even worse fit and finish, so it ahd a bar, colour, grips, cables, post and seat etc, lots of custom with a twist touches, ...enjoy.........  |

bought this today for pennies - it's an old Redline under the nasty hand painted black paint with all the original bits on it.  can't decide wether to go for old skool resto or accept the fact that I'm too old and fat for that sort of riding these days and take the angle grinder and welder to it and turn it into a gnarly chopper |
