Thanks David for the link. It inspired me to get a bit creative. Here's my
latest project. Only about 2 days in the making thus far. I plan to paint it
in the colours of a twisties packet.

Added another pic too.

We have another dragster in the pipeline too. It's over 4 metres long, and
there is a bottle of bourbon which says it wont survive the next critical
mass!

Wow! That thing still in one piece?
I'd never trust _my_ welding to hold me up there! :-)
It actually looks like one of my childhood bikes...
the original purple frame bit, that is.

Is that your house with all those old bike frames?
Wherever it is, it's awesome!
I wanna buy a welder (pity skill is not for sale) and
scour local garage sales for frames.. I want one of
those lowrider, stretched cruisers though...

mmm custom...

hmmm, try a bet a pint of Goat Surefoot Stout.

Should really pull the digit out & document my Fleet of silly bikes.
Furry Frank, a combination of fur, pompoms & dragster frame that _just
made it down the street during several Fringe parades. should fix the
3-speed hub :p ditt-o Classic Frank, the Rhinestone Bejewelled Wonder of
Northcote Tip. Gotta go, I'm getting all misty-eyed.

Yep! Rode it home tonight (about 5 k's). Everywhere I go I get astonished
looks and heaps of people giving me the thumbs up and laughing and stuff!
It's actually quite a pleasure to ride, but getting on and off is tricky!

> I'd never trust _my_ welding to hold me up there! :-)

I designed it so that the vast majority of the riders weight is over the
back wheel. It's all brazed together, and reinforced at every weld. Also put
a stermy-archer 3 speed (with back pedal brakes) on the back wheel. If the
chain breaks, I am completely screwed. I am not prepared to put any form of
brake on the front wheel considering it is about 3cm in diameter.

> It actually looks like one of my childhood bikes...

Ummm... well it probably is kinda like that. I did actually chop up a kids
dragster to make it!

No, it's at Ceres in Brunswick. WAAAAAAY too many bikes at the moment. If
anyone wants a cheap bike, they have plenty.

We'll see what the next one looks like. Might be just what you're after!

Rim brake on the rear wheel? Still pretty dodgy but avoids
the chain snap scenario.

Who's Sarah?

I've been scanning tonnes of "Kustom" sites and things like Rat Patrol
and "choppercabras" and I want something like this:
http://mywilson.homestead.com/gallery104.html or
http://www.geocities.com/choppercabrasbc/namebk.html

I can't find the coolest one because the bikerod&kustom site is down.
Who do you build the bikes for? Can you be commissioned? :-)

Anyway, I was going to go to bed early tonight.. so much for that!

If you can't ride them.. what's the point!!??
Quite a few show cars out there are trailered to and from
shows so I guess it's the same thing but still!!! I'd
wanna get out and cruise on these beasties! Mad! :-D
