Ok..It's not old, but it's my main ride in the summer. It does have a vintage headlight, and the shifter is off a Schwinn krate, that controls a 1954 English rear hub. This is going to be painted metalflake when the weather is better. The frame is a Kustom Kruiser, that prior to that was owned by Dyno. The Dyno line is very collectable now. I own 5 of them. This bike is one inch short of being 8 feet long using a lowered springer. This bike rides like a dream and gets lots of attention. It is being built as a tribute to a good friend that was lost in a motorcycle accident several years ago. Thank for checking it out.
BicyclesThe precursor to the modern-day bicycle was the 1817 Draisine, named for it…
Love it! Did you build this behemoth?
Yes, been riding it for a couple summers now. I have been having too much fun to tear it back apart and paint it. The rear fender was a NOS that I cut down.
Very very cool bike!! Great job Vontrike!!!
