Getting ready for springtime, trying to finish up a few on-going bike projects once and for all. Here is my Luxury Liner when I first got it.:
and here it was as of this weekend:
just wanted to get it rolling, so for now I’ve replaced the wheels, tires, crank, sprocket, chain, pedals, and grips. I have converted it to non-skiptooth for the moment. I saved the original sprocket though. I still need to find a proper kickstand, as well as get the seat-post straightened. But it rides real smooth and turns heads :)
I also joined in on another custom bike build-off, this one space-themed (perfect for me). I started with this frame:
and it became this:
Comprised of a mid-60’s Murray-built SpaceLiner knock-off frame, NOS Royce Union tank, Mercury chainguard, Varsity stem, chrome banana pan and suspension-sissy bar, and generic moon bars and platform pedals.
I built this as an entry for RatRodBikes.com ’s Space Bike Build-Off. It was actually assembled in less than 12 hours, including a last minute run to home de pot for some supplies. I tightened the last bolt and took it outside for a test run, I wasn’t even sure that my experimental seat mounts would work. I was pleasantly surprised:
So that’s what I’ve been up to.
In less than a couple of weeks is the Monson Mass Bike Swap Meet and ride, I will bring my camera.
