Eric's many handmade bikes choppers - Part 2



SPINBIKE: For this project, I got the inspiration of the Atomic Zombie Spincycle Stunt Tryke. Just tried something different to the design. This is total fun bicycle.  http://www.youtube.com/user/tintasangre5#p/u/7/ubJGnOC3xz4


MONTAƑERA-TANDEM: This was a full suspension iron frame. Added three extension pipes, big tires, grey paint, and a xtreme look. The result for enduro, cross country, road, grass, uphill, and tropical rain conditions. Three weeks of work.  http://www.youtube.com/user/tintasangre5#p/u/6/CTHPuY44YqU

 MOUNTAIN-CHOPPER: This was a 24 cheap mountain bicycle. Changed angles, added extension pipes, hacked the fork, mountain 24" rough wheels,and motorcycle handlebar, all in orange and black. Made this mountain-coaster an all-terrain-chopper.  http://www.youtube.com/user/tintasangre5#p/u/3/MaSHLIxeg5M



PSEUDOCHOPPER: This is an upgrade experiment of the clown bike. Now it's more rideable and sporty. Solved some fork travel problem by cuttting the fork pipe.  http://www.youtube.com/user/tintasangre5#p/u/0/n3sohlSt9GA

Chopper Fork Strength

"I recently picked up a chopper/lowrider project bike, have been tinkering with it, and am curious to the strength of the fork. It's a triple-tree style, 1.25" OD, 1/16" wall, 29" total length (tip to tip) fork, with a disc brake mount. The dropouts are 1/4".
