Hey there,
Alot of folks have been asking me about my frame and the OCC donor bike set up program
to get you into Chopperville. So I have brought forward and current the post that explains the
RE-CYCLE Plan. I'm going to have to re-write this someday soon
for a more blanket explanation to put on the site and to send to people, but I have no time right now.
Here it is:
Allrighty,
I'm waiting on a few small parts to arrive to finish off the Bobber.
I am working feverishly on my website which is going to debut this
New Production Bobber Frame & Motor Mount / Jackshaft Kit.
I have Preliminary Prices Set for the Frame and Related Parts in the Kit, but they may be subject to change. I believe these prices hit the target market nicely and are more than fair for what you are receiving; A True Bobber Chopper Motorized Bicycle Kit that solves many problems, is reliable, and is a pleasure to build. A Bike that rides as good as it looks that you can customize yourself; A bike that will turn heads everywhere you go...
I am also going to have other products for sale that I believe are great additions as well. One of them will be this White Wall Paint. I am confident that it will hold up very well. A pint will do well more than one bike (more like 2-3 depending on how many coats you do), so you could charge your friends to do theirs after they see how cool yours are. Just leave some for yourself in case you scuff yours. The pint will sell for $28 plus shipping and a half pint will sell for $18 plus shipping. So you can see there is a better deal with more.
I have explained in the original thread of how this Frame Is Made From A Donor OCC Stingray frame.
It is by far the simplest, most inexpensive way to get a custom stretched chopper bike, that fits its' rider, and provides excellent comfort and advanced appointments. I see alot of these OCC Choppers on craigslist just destined for the dump someday....
SAVE THE CHOPPERS !!!! Here Is The Original Post: Prices, and The Art of Re-"Cycling"...
Allrighty,
We are going to touch on my Master Plan for what I am creating that I want everyone who likes choppers to have;
A Killer Adult Sized Chopper Bobber MB (Motorized Bike) that they can build themselves, Which Is Half The Fun.
Problem:
K, Everyone who likes Chopper MB's just loves the Big Fat Tire found on Schwinn Stingrays. So they go out and get an inexpensive Stingray off craigslist, buy an adapter kit for the motor that is available elsewhere, and go down the road. Then they buy the bent seat post to get the seat back further, and then get ape hanger handlebars and lean them waaay forward to give more reach. But face it Stingray guys.....unless you are vertically challenged, (no offense intended whatsoever)
IT'S JUST TOO SMALL FOR YOU!!!!
Don't you want to ride a bike that fits you?
Solution:
Mavrik Motor Bicycles Series One Frame "The Bobber"
- 5' Wheel base
- 25" Seat height (minimum) 28" (maximum) with Pedal Distance to the Seat Adjustment
- Provides fitment of riders ranging from 5'-2" to 6'-3" with sliding seat clamp attachment style
- Spring Loaded pivoting motorcycle solo seat pan and cushion.(Better than any bicycle seat. period)
- Custom fitted for and ready for Happy Time 2 Stroke China Engines
- Custom Isolated Rubber Motor Mounts- eliminates engine vibration
- Custom Jackshaft Option- Yes, you can have a 5 Speed Chopper
- Front And Rear Disc Brakes Option - add safety by truly stopping on a dime
- All truly headache free and a Bolt-On Affair
- The most inexpensive way to build your own custom chopper that fits
- more kewl and inexpensive gadgets are on their way
The Art of Re-"Cycling"
-Now anyone who has bought a brand new complete bike online that they couldn't find locally was absolutely murdered on shipping costs. And then they still have to fit the motor which cost more.
The Wide Rear Rim, Tube and Tire can be found but it is hella expensive, and you still need the wide cranks to fit the chain around the fat tire. These things make the venture unfeasable.
-The Stingrays are out of production but they live on almost everywhere you look. Unpristine examples can be had almost everywhere on the cheap. Craigslist, the local flyer, garage sales, the side of the road, etc. These used Stingrays have almost everything you need component wise.
These bikes are not going to be restored and they will eventually make it to the dump in their lifetime....
Time To RE-"
CYCLE" And Save Yourself A Ton On Shipping.
Here's The Plan:
- You go out and get yourself a decent Used Schwinn Stingray On The Cheap
- Don't worry about the paint or the condition of the decals, seat, etc.
- just make sure the rims are straight and the cranks, pedals, and chainwheel aren't rusted to oblivion
- Now dismantle the bike. "ziplock & coffee can" parts in groups and stow the wheels and cranks
- Now (here's the fun part) Grab a Hacksaw, Sawzall, Dremel , or Cutoff Wheel on a Grinder or Air Tool.
- Take one last look at that old "too small" kids frame, and put on your safety glasses and ear protection
- Start Cutting
- I need the neck tube, crank tube , and the entire square tube rear wheel cage assembly for your build
- (Update) Also, I need the Kickstand Block, Kick Stand & Spring Asembly (I'm re-using them as well now)
- Leave an inch of the frame tubing still connected to these parts, put them in a small box and send it to me
- I will do the rest
- What you get back is a Custom Chopper Bobber Frame ready for the motor and all the parts you removed
- Shipping me the small box of frame parts shouldn't be more than $10-$12
- Shipping you just a lightweight thin boxed chopper frame shouldn't be more than $40
This is way cheaper than spending hundreds to get a complete bike to your doorstep,
You are re-"cycling" (doesn't that feel good?) and you get a hassle-free
Chopper Bobber MB with all the goodies, options and add-ons,
and you get to build it yourself which is half the fun.
Everybody Wins, And This Is The Best Bang For The Buck.
(end)
Now, I could go out and get an OCC Stingray for you, but I am going to charge you $80 extra for the bike and my time plus shipping to get the wheels, cranks, seat, handlebars etc. to your door step.....
See the beauty of my plan now.....? =-]'
So this is where I am at and what I believe will be a Great Thing.
I want everyone who likes choppers to enjoy my solutions that make Motorized Bicycling and absolute pleasure.
I have suffered many pitfalls in my Research & Development that you can't even imagine.
Just ask some of the guys that have ridden with me...
But nearly everything now is all solved.
Perfection Accomplished?
No, but darn close.....
When I can say I can dump the clutch, gun the throttle, speed shift through the gears, rip through the turns, and grab the brakes with all my might and come to a stop as my drool keeps going the speed I just was......I've gotten pretty darn close.
No one will ever know until they experience it themselves....and that's what I intend to make available.
(Man, I really have to produce a video)
So please be patient.
I'll have the website finished soon with prices....
P.S.- Please do not hesitate to private message me with questions, OR if you just gotta' have one and want me to start building yours immediately. Don't email me just to be a "tire kicker". I can build frames right now. I do have Paypal currently set up and Merchant Services for credit cards hopefully in the near future.
Thanks,
and Ride On!
