Lost my chopper!

[toker_ace]

Don't quote a man a price he just might buy it! I can build another one. Has anyone built a macargi classic http://www.zone8cycling.com/cart.php?m=popup&id=58 looks cool. thanks

or maybe the micargi prado Micargi Prado Deluxe Chopper Bike

That particular companys' bicycles are dangerous junk....look good, built bad. Cracking frames, bad welds ect....beware of putting an engine kit on one.

I,ve read the post, but it seems that its just one guy who has had problems.Am I right?

They don't quite look the same and I haven't tried a chopper from them, but do have a cruiser and it's a decent low end bike. the only bad thing I would have to say is the one piece cranks on it were pretty weak "broke them about 2 weeks in". The frame seems solid enough.

is this bike as long as the spoilers or is it just like the small occ choppers? its hard to tall by the picture. Chopper Beach Cruiser orange001

I built this Macargi GT. It has some pretty good looking welds on it, and I haven't noticed any cracks yet. Maybe the Chinese boy that welded it up was over 8 years old.

Jeff, That bike looks like it is a good 6 to 8 inches longer between the front down tube and the seat post tube, the the regular 20" OCC. Our bikes are only 8" long there.

here's the specs for that bike, they have a link towards the bottom of original page.

Here's also a cheaper place for the prado, no idea how the customer service is.

Edit: you might also just call them, it appears they have varying sizes for some of those choppers, so they may just have a bigger one or be able to order one if that's what you are after.

 

[toker_ace]

whats the verdict on these xyz bikes? has anyone put a china girl on one. its just like the spoiler without the disc brakes. I hope it has good reviews because i got to have one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[50ghostrider]

no but close...occ chopper

 

[hiker472]

Take a look at the greenline stretch below. You can get these on EBay for $199 w/free shipping and the guy is really good to deal with.

If Micargi is preferred, then go check out bike-buyers.com. They also have an EBay store and are also good to deal with. Both of these sellers have 100% feedback rating and both will respond to emails within 24 hours, which in my book is a great dealer.

ibuilt these two , the red is a micargi and the black xyz no problems yet with either

 

[toker_ace]

I think this bike would be awsome with some semi-tall handlebars and maybe a sissy bar.

This guy is producing a chopper frame for builders that utilizes the same wheels and cranks as an OCC / XYZ bike does but are much cooler by design.

Has anybody Put the "80cc" on a Giant Stiletto? If so I could use some advice on this build.

my neighbor and i are getting ready to do the samething on the stiletto bike and changing a few things

 

[Masterm222]

My Stiletto project is on hold until I receive the 24 tooth sprocket for the left side of the jack shaft and the 20 tooth freewheel for the right side that will go to the pedal chain. I think I will run an 18 tooth to the rear 34t MEGA-RANGE derailer. Should be like running a 45-46t sprocket in first gear. Sprockets should be here next week. I have designed a nice aluminum bracket to clamp to the bottom tube which my motor mount will attach to with insulators. This should make for a solid but vibration dampened motor. Plan on taking the jack shaft ends that came on the bike to the machine shop to be modified so I can mount the sprockets to it. Any ideas on how to get a disc brake caliper to work with the front wheel? Either going to build my own expansion pipe or order one from SBP when they have them in stock again. Let me know if you have any ideas or thoughts about this build. Two or three heads are better than one! Going to be a ball when finished!

 

[Masterm222]

I am also tossing around the idea of building my own gas tank and using the front cover that is on the bike as side covers for the tank so I don't loose the look it has.

ya try to keep the gears you have and add a extra spocket to the left side thats what we are going toi do! also there is a local bike shop that has chopper style forks with the bracket welded to the forks i think it is a 30in lengh
