The next creation test fit to see if it can be stitched together...   |

I like where you're going with this, but what about a larger front tire/rim? Those little kids bikes look badass when they're "adulterized". Cool look no matter what though.

Understand. Could you do 20/24?

That might work if the pedals clear the front wheel using a 20" up front with a 24 in the rear...

Ive always seen a lot of potential in those Spiderman bikes with the built in "tank." Glad someone else saw it too

"Chainsaw" Jim Johnson, I tried a 20/24 wheel combo on it and it just doesn't look right. It would need the frame to be bigger all of the way around....

I says, Aways with the stays.  Glad you tried to go bigger, but I can see where you would go from boulevard bully to class clown when dealing with this configuration.  The bike has a good tuff look to it. |

That looks great! Sounds like the support bar is the way to go.

even though I just saw one of those little bikes you used for the front, I was still thinking the bike would be bigger. the stingray type bars and seat are sized right for it though, so it works out and looks pretty good. proportional I mean.

Here it is with my son an it...   This is my fix for the frame to make it stiffer which now it is, no more flexing or creaking noise. I welded in a tube from the BB to the seat tube  |

Goober boy looks excited!  Bike turned out great! Any color ideas? I'd paint him green. It might also look good on the bike, if you got enough left over. |
