That name brings back memories. My brother-in-law, rest his soul, shared that nick-name with you. He was a prince and I loved him. Haven't thought about that for many years. Thanks for the memory.
I shopped around for a seat post and found them for about $20.00. I made this one from some scrap 1" shaft stock, stuck it in a lathe and turned the end dow to 7/8" and bent it with heat. It's probably about ten times stronger than the tubular kind and didn't cost me anything except about an hour labor.
I love the boardtrack look. The dropped bars and the low down stance. I'm building a tank for the Jag but I'll ride it for a while with the kit tank just to see how it rides and work out any bugs. Thanks for the kind words. Keep in touch.
Tom

Kenny | Hey, Street
Drop by anytime. You remember where I'm at, right?
Yes, I'm going to try Duane's engine on this one; See how it does. I've put a lot of miles on the old orange bike and thought it was time for a new build. If this one is half as reliable and fun as the first, I'm smiling.
If you lost my number or don't remember where I live, PM me and we'll get together. Maybe we'll drag Duane out for a saturday cruise.
Tom

I had a frame that had been cut in half. I cut out the seat post and turned it around backwards. The top tube is welded to the rear brake mount. The tubes that ussally hold the rear tire are welded to the former seat post. It worked well.
I love that Albitre by the way! <3

those two bikes are sic, i like the top one everything looks smushed into that frame, and the lack of paint on the seccond ones front fork area with the white wheels, nice. Is that an actual whizzer bike? I like it more than most.

the blue bike is a real whizzer it has some diffrent bars on it now that make it look a little sleeker and the big goofy clutch lever is replaced with a small old rusty one..
the black bike is now white and is set up a bit diffrently - after i finish my latest pedal bike project, its going to get a coat of olive green army paint and white accents. it will go back to being a tracker, flipped bars and a leather deep sprung troxel.. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
