"CulverCityClassics Builds One More"

[culvercityclassic]

Well I am at it again...another Home Built bike. Started to gather and fab up the material. All this hand cut plate drives a man crazy...but I enjoy it once I get started.

I have been practicing my welding a bit...laid down some nice lines...but then again I was under no pressure...lol

Some pictures: Can anyone guess what type of theme bike this going to be?

 

[The_Aleman]

Dunno what theme it'll be, but I'm sure it'll be "hot"

 

[Mr.B.]

Can anyone guess what type of theme bike this going to be?

2 sets of drop outs- A trike?

Bike with side car?

Not sure what the theme is, but I'd like to know about your frame jig.

My guess would be a BTR... but you're throwing everyone off with the two sets of dropouts you have there!

What do you have in mind?

That’s the start of your bike!!! Sorry for the confusion, I figured I would make an extra since I like this style so much.

So what you see is parts for two frames.

And just for the record and to give recognition and respect where it is due...


After seeing Jeff's ( aka culvercityclassic ) BTR he build in the following post

http://www.motorbicycling.com/showthread.php?t=32314


I PM'ed him a few times asking that he build me a close copy of what he did for himself with his BTR frame and tank. He agreed and even asked me to check other builders and vendors to be sure this is what I really wanted.

After viewing the field, and with all due respect to others, I found that every bike I looked at could not stand up to what I saw in his build in what I wanted in style, in being oversized, in craftsmanship, and attention to detail.

I look forward to him building this for me, and the icing on the cake so to say is I am investing in American craftsmanship with Jeff.

I look forward to updates, and one day soon seeing that beuty sitting in my garage!

Heck, the first few weeks I may leave it parked in my living room as a showpiece!

I was going to guess a double-cradle, drop-loop, awesome fast bike? My other guess is another fantastic wolf creation. It's gotta be one of those two......

 

[foundmydog]

Rear hub should be arriving today via fedex and then bringing it to my local bike shop to have him lace it up for me

Also parts I ordered are in when I drop off the hub... things are moving along!

 

[scotto-]

Alrighty then, my final guess is a BTR. No double cradle? Hardtail. Twins!

 

[timboellner]

My guess is Siamese bikes, conjoined twins attached together at the seat.

I looked at that motor; it's very cool and puts out some horsepower. I may have to get one for the next build.

I was able to work on the frame tonight...got the head tube mocked up, drilled and tapped the drop-out for some fender mounts if needed, made the motor mount plate and closed the back tube on the bottom bracket.

It's moving along...

 

[foundmydog]

Very nice Jeff... She is starting to look mighty pretty!

How I wish I took those welding classes back in high school!!!

 

[foundmydog]

I've heard you called a few different things here on the forum... add "craftsman" to the list

 

[culvercityclassic]

A little more action: The rear drop-outs in the jig, alignment of the frame. Measure Measure Measure.

Waiting for the fork to work out the rest...before I pull the trigger on the welding...

 

[foundmydog]

Going to order the fork right now Jeff... will let you know when it can be picked up

 

[curtisfox]

AWESOME! hurry up fork. Love it..............Curt

 

[culvercityclassic]

Update: Got the fork so I was able to fit the head tube. Tacked up the bottom bracket.

Got a new toy: I sure like the color blue
