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!

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
ditt-o Classic Frank, the Rhinestone Bejewelled Wonder of Northcote Tip. Gotta go, I'm getting all misty-eyed.

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... hippy

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... the original purple frame bit, that is.

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

> Is that your house with all those old bike frames? Wherever it is, it's awesome!

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? uh i mean what's Ceres?

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
