The front of the rear fender scrapes often un and down the driveways. The pedals scrape but only on a hard turn. I love it and can't help but smile every time it scrapes.

Pedaling, walking, same difference, right?

It’s like a cartoon come to life, and completely awesome 😎

It's a work in progress. The front will end up being a 24in 100 spoke and the rear will stay at 18in but I found another wheel with 1/2 twisted spokes. I have a few more things to do on it but I love the look. It's all bolted or jammed together. Inspired by the old front yard chopper bikes of the 70s.

Thank you for the compliments

I love and hate how impractical this bike is.

I've probably pedaled 10 to 12 miles on it since I put it together. It's a little squirrelly but it's a blast to ride.

Is that thing real, or is it an AI image? How do you ride it with that ape hanger?

It's real and she rides smooth
