Hello all,

so quick stuff.

name: stephen alvarez
location: Camarillo, California

The bike I am going to put together is a stretch beach cruiser
So i started off tonight by purchasing some quick things off of amazon.

1. bent schwinn style springer fork
2. Sturmey Archer XL-FD Front Drum Hub 36h
3. Sturmey Archer S30 3-Speed Internal Hub - 36h, 18T Cog, No Brake

and tomorrow i will be purchasing a Schwinn legacy taking it completely apart. to sand and paint.

things soon to come.
80cc motor
jackshaft kit
rims
custom lean back seat post.
MRS DIY fuel tank (I plan to add sight gauge on to the bottles)
upgrade chain
exhaust expansion chamber
lights

so i plan on painting the frame old ford blue which looks like a bright blue, the engine will be painted blue with the head being Chevy Orange. the rims will be orange spring chrome seat post possibly orange and cables orange.

oh.. also i plan on making a kind of suicide shifter.

so there u have it.

Welcome aboard.

yea that sounds like it will be sweet take lots of pics i forgot to on my build and regret it

 

[tmaxxrunner]

I look forward to seeing it man! I am still on the fence if I wanna do a raw build or buy a bike and enhance it over time.

 

[tmaxxrunner]

I was too... Im pretty handy with a wrench and a hammer. Plus I love knowing how the thing im riding works. Either way almost about the same. But for me i want to have alot of custom parts so it just makes more sense. Than paying alot and also adding things over time...ie sturmey archer front brake hub 3speed hub and jackshaft kit
