Schwinn / Beach Cruiser type bike

Im after a Beach cruiser type bike, with the sprung forks, not the Chopper style, condition unimportant really
WHY?

 

are you building @oscar a mower ?

 

i have one but im buggered if im letting him near it, i saw the smoke coming out of @Top Banana Racing mower

 

Saw this on Vzi, which i thought was neat, i have a motor and fancied building something similar

 

That's cool. You got a link?

Its just a show us your bicycle thread

 

Well i found the bits and this is the result

 

looks good , you broke the chain ? doin a wheelie ?

 

No, need 5 more links on it, took it off another bike

 

Nice work! More info please...

I take it you've not ridden it yet...Some brakes might not be a bad idea.

 

The engine is one of these

Ive had it about a year but had put it in the first available bike (old MTB), i decided i would like to make something a bit nicer so bought a Schwinn and some sprung forks off ebay.
It actually has a rear brake, one of the pedal back type, as i can only legally thrash round the field on it im hoping its enough, otherwise i might stick a disc set up on the front.

 

Crikey, they're cheap enough. Shame I've got nowhere to ride one... looks a fun build. Maybe I'll build one anyway.

How does the sprocket attach to the rear wheel, out of interest?

 

My thoughts when i first spotted them

A rubber segment either side of the spokes, sprocket on the outside, 3 semi circular sections on the inside, Dozen bolts, do up evenly
Seems to act as a cush drive as opposed to ripping the spokes off

 

My minds buzzing with the possibilities. I wonder if you could fit one on a Raleigh Twenty / Dawes Kingpin.

 

They are made to fit in the V and they come with an adaptor for bigger tubes, but as with mine you can wedge them in most things, there is a new posher version as well

Cool. Or a cheaper, bigger version:

We could have some grass track racing down the field

 

These are pretty cool:

I wonder how hard it would be to make one road legal.

 

Count me in.

 

Really like this,great work!Where did you get the forks from?Did you have to import them?
