Hey all, some might remember I chopped a 70's shopper bike a few months back. Well that's had good use but I was itching to do another, older style like an early speedway bike. Well it couldn't have come about any easier because I found a vintage bicycle in the street. I didn't nick it, honest it was dumped, but it had all the right parts. So here it is, chopped, stretched, lowered, 3 gears, sprung seat and satin black. And here's a couple of mini movies of how it rides: www.rodsfolio.com/uploads/bike/MOV00028.3gpwww.rodsfolio.com/uploads/bike/MOV00029.3gp

Board track, that's the style! I knew there would be a proper word for it!

Lol, I had the pedals that low but found they didn't go round.
Next in the pipeline when funds permit is a 125 board bike. Went to look at a '68 Honda SS which has the most purty little 125 parallel twin like a mini Triumph but price, SVA and MOT stood in the way of me because it had a monocoque frame. Will have to do a single banger 125 when one turns up at the right price.

jonny69 in da house: So here it is, chopped, stretched, lowered, 3 gears, sprung seat and satin blackThat's Monster (Garage!?!?) Cool, really hot style...... I have a slight bicycle fettish and one of my good friends Joni is a semi-pro downhill rider he also works in a bike shop in Uppsala and almost every week he comes out and tempts me with real cool bikes, I have a Cycle Pro BMX, a Scott carbon downhill and a couple of dirt & street bikes that Joni has made me buy. The other day he rolled in on his new Felt Chief and man was it cool, real Indian board racer look with white tires and all..... Going through all the Cruisers on the Felt site www.feltracing.com/06/06_cruiser I had a hard time chosing one for myself but I finally bought a V12..... Although the "Little curse word" James Dean bike, El Guapo, Baron and Kingpin are real cool bikes.... DP says: Need some exercise so a bicycle is a good investment (yeah right)......

If anyone wants one of those Felt cruisers, let me know, I just happen to be a dealer for them! Only one I've got at the moment is the Taxi, not as cool as the others, but its good as a publicity bike. Might just have to fetch the two 70's bikes out of the skip I've just scrapped & get welding...
