trialsboytom Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) Me and my Dad made it from two scrap bikes (kindly donated by cycleworld) we cut off the front stem of one bike and the rear from the other, then all you have to do is wield! It took us ages to make and spray as we couldn't get the right handle bars for the cool Chopper look. It's still not finished yet because we are going to paint on the side 'Crapper', so show that it used to be a rusted piece of steel! Also it really hurts your back when you ride it because you, well I do, have to lean so far forward to reach the handle bars. (Y) Heres me on it. I will have a vid coming soon once my mum lets me use her laptop ;) Hope you like it, please leave comments about it.

Spikenipple Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 That looks rather funky (Y) Why don't you buy some risers or BMX bars and use those? Then you won't have to lean forward so far. How's it staying upright in the first photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Geary Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 wow,that is a awsome piece of work,and it look's really kool. ben (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Awesome, but I agree you should get some really highly upswept bars, and tilt them right back so you can reach them more and be more "laid back". Then it would be a sweet-ass cruising machine. Something like bmx bars would probably do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Looks like they have either welded two forks together or bits of metal to the end of some forks. Thanks, Callum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOLO Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 my fork was standard 26" with two sun umbrella tubes from the dump hammered on to the legs after i cut the dropous off,, then i welded then up and welded the dropouts back on at the bottom. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
