very cool I luv it it looks like the CG is pretty low. How's the handling? and again Pat your bike rocks

I like it. Except for the forks, it reminds me of a vintage speedway bike.

And the paint is really nicely done. I know a girl who 'veins' white wooden mantels, etc to make them look like marble and the result is much like your bike.

My first ride video.

The first kick start.

Quick walk through.

Yes the cg is low. Because the front wheel is so big its like driving a truck. But the bike is very light . The cool factor out weights the flaws in ride.hahaha!

I first saw your bike on chop cult. I had to find out more about it. Thanks for posting it up here. That schwinn inspired hardtail looks better, in my opinion, than anything else I've seen. Wish I could get my hands on one like that.

this is basically my favorite xs ever I'm putting together one now and I'm 100% sold on the tank built into the frame. the bike is amazing... what kind of fuel pump are you running?

 

[Pat Thaiwongse]

Hey there Tony. Glad you like it. I am running a micro fuel pump from the auto parts store the lowest psi I could find. Plus also a Manuel online on of valve to lower the pressure even more. It's pretty difficult finding the right amount of psi so that the fuel dosent leak out of the carbs. I am actually thinking of changing the current pump to one that's a vacuum style run off the carb boots.

 

[tonylevesque]

very cool i was wondering how you managed that with the PSI. how many psi are you running with the current configuration

 

[alfredo]

Not my style, but I can appreciate the effort and foresight that went into the build. It's great to see things drastically different from the every day. Keeps us all on our toes and looking for new ways to create.

Great job and keep it up!

 

[Makr]

Cool as hell!

 

[mechanicScott]

what brand of fuel pump is it, and where'd you get it??
also where can i get a 23" front rim, 36 hole?

 

[Pat Thaiwongse]

The fuel pump I am not sure it's under the bike so difficult to see the name tag. But I did get the fuel pump from Kragen o'riely auto parts store. The front wheel is a 80's Honda Elsinore. I got it from Neanderthal Cycle salvage in riverside Ca. It's pretty rare and hard to find. That size tire extreamly rare. Very hard to locate.

On your fuel pump, run the line to the carbs with a return line to the tank. Any extra pressure from the pump will just flow back to the tank and not overpower the float valves.

nice bike Pat. saw pics when the sharpie was being done. again cool bike Brother!

 

[Pat Thaiwongse]

Leo- that's a brilliant idea! I'll do that. Make total sense to me.
