Oh aye. I can see going up Pendle Hill on that! Still looks crazily hideous yet wonderful though!

Edit...Pendle Hill? Pfft! How's about The Trough Of Bowland?

How about a chainguard like this?

The guy I made the sidecar for asked me do make one of these...... I said no! Lol
Too much work just to give away, I'd want it for myself!

That's fancy!

Ever thought about making a velomobile, you could then combine the car and bike skills.

I was watching american pickers the other day and schwinn bikes came up . They found the tank and explained that the cool kids used to remover the tanks to make the bikes lighter and faster . Just sayin .

I've never really understood why those bicycles have tanks. To me it just says "I wanted a motorbike but couldn't afford one so I've made by bicycle look like one" ....
I suppose its a good place to fit a light.

Built for kids i guess or those that couldn't afford a motor bike .

I reckon some sort of skirt guard is in order...

...plenty of scope for some overt art deco styling there.

 

[Ascent]

Ok, they're motorbikes really but I love the styling of these things. The art deco look i think is wonderful.

Ha ha if I did a steam punk bike it would be electric with massive, exposed brass drive gears..... With glowing valves and everything ! Lol
Maybe next time!

(I did make an electric bike years ago before the kits were available. It was for the girlfriend, she only tried it once, the whole neighbourhood could hear her screams... .. . It went more than 15mph...... Lol
