My Latest Bicycle Creation, by Deven Science

Today was another productive day. I went over to my friend Kevin's shop to work on these bicycle parts I wanted to make. Knowing I was now to be back to work soon, and therefore short on time, I put the idea of making a springer front end on hold for now. I decided to make a simpler one that would still be unique. I cut the forks it had, extended them, and welded them back together at an angle so that the wheel would poke out further forward. I then welded a small brace on either side, to make sure it's strong. The finished product is okay, but not as great as I wanted:



I then made a set of simple handlebars that are just like the two I've made in the past, including for my motorcycle:



I then took the rear fender, and whacked it short, chopper style:



Giving the bike as it looks right now:



I've had this color combo in my mind for a while to take the typical ratrod colors of black with red and white accents, except to replace the black with olive drab (Army Green, as the rattle-can calls it), making it look more military. I think it looks decent, but it would probably work better on a motorcycle. I still want to make a seat from scratch, and may, but maybe not this week
