Murray Valiant Chopper

This started out as a 90's repop. The parts were trashed but the frame was good, so I started to make a klunker.






I dont have a finished klunker photo, because soon after the bike was ridable... I got bored, fast. I've already got 2 Mtbs anyways. I saw a cantilever chop on RRB by Loco Joe, and I always wanted to give it a go.

These wheels came off of the Mt. Dew bike that has recently become a tallbike. These shitty wheels are shitty.







But they are matching rims for a double wide.



Its a bad pic of the welding, but its some of my best work yet.





The Mt Dew bike was a 90's Huffy Mt Bike, made cheaply, so spacing between the spoke holes varies slightly around each wheel. Truing them was kinda strange.

Found another seatpost that fits, and sliced it up a bit.



















And then some welding and grinding it smooth.















It holds my fat ass for now, but I'm sure its gonna need a support.

Lots of cool stuff going on! I've been thinking of doing a chopper cruiser, but that's as far as I got ..... Thinking. The double rim is bad ass! Overall, I like how the bike has the 'tude! Very Cool!

This is my first attempt at a springer fork... whatdya know, it works!






The springer forks were made out of crap from the junk pile.

The cool thing about building stuff out of junk piles is that it instantly has a badass look! The bike is definitely gonna be a meanace to the hood once it's finished! Lots of cool ideas falling into place!
