I recently finished this bike. The spokes are 11ga. from Worksman powdercoated black. The front hub is dual disc from Choppers Us. I replaced the ball bearings with ceramic balls. The rims are powdercoated neon green and are Weinmann double wall 1.5" I believe. The tires are 3". The front end is from Choppers US and I powder coated it black along with the handlebars. The rear hub is a Worksman alloy drum brake. I removed the brake and had a disc hub machined to fit inside the drum. The disc brake is an Avid BB7 with a 180mm rotor. I added the bracket on the outside of the brake to keep it from twisting in the dropout.

I removed the seat post tube but the bracket for the jackshaft adds strength back to the frame.

I shortened the shifter to let me up shift with my heel while on the bike pedal To downshift I have to move my foot back to the rear of the shifter arm, works out well.

The ride is good on this bike. It is eight feet long overall.

I have ridden about 100 miles on it.

More later..........................

Good to see you have gone to the trouble of engineering working pedals as part of your build up , Broncos are a cool frame , I couldnt get one here in Aus , had to settle for a Mustang , But that doesnt stop me contemplating making up the lower frame , this makes a huge difference to the look of the Bronc .

i-paint, as usual you've done it again using the Chinese cloned Honda CRF 50cc - 110cc Engine on a Stretch / Chopper Cruiser.

This one is SICK SICK SICK, and I for one Love IT !!!

Would you please share some pictures of this build showing your Skid Plate / Motor Mount, and any other pictures of the build up.

So that myself and other forum members might find any of the parts & components used for the build, could you give us a build list break down of all parts and components where a person could by them etc etc...

Graucho's build List is an awesome EXAMPLE of a who, what, where, & how to build List!

When I see other peoples builds I always ask myself...."self" where did he get that item? Well, i'm not going to leave anybody out there hang'in with that question. I hope this helps someone if they need a similar part that I have used on my bike. I used to have better tools but I got rid of them when I thought I was getting out of building. (wrong) since, I bought a lot of stuff "on the cheap" and they have worked out just fine. Take care and thanks for your kind words everyone. graucho

Thanks CH. Here are a few more pics. A couple may be duplicates with a different view or angle. Most of my parts are from wholesalecycle, choppers us, jensen, sickbikeparts, boca bearings, worksmanbicycles, leatherworks, ebay, or built by me. To me chasing parts adds to the creative process by exposing you to different parts which elicit new ideas for a task.

Looking for an update?

Hows the performance on this build ie low end torque, top end speed etc etc...?

Have you upgraded any parts or components since completion of this build?

Have you seen the turbo charger that is made for the Chinese Cloned Honda crf 50cc 110cc Horizontal Engines?

Peace Crazy Horse.
