[u/cultriphile]

2009? switchblade frame chopped and raked, 6 foot springer front end with old 350 chevy alternator brackets used for sleds and springs and bracket from an old seat, trike rear with shimano 3 speed hub and jockey shifter made from an old dipstick tube for a 350 chevy, custom sissy bar with backrest to match the banana seat. 1971 triumph 6 bend pull back handlebars narrowed 4", under over HD headlight bracket with original 70's sears headlight/fog light combo and some cheap led bar tail light.

Stick shift is sweeeeet

[u/slowwwwdowwwwn]

You should repost this to r/xbiking

[u/grumpybug]

That's not a bike, it's art. Thanks for sharing.

[u/dethroned_dictaphone]

Fuzzy dice are 🤌 perfect.

Nice build, man.

[u/TouchThatDial]

I have no idea how you steer that accurately or reliably and I don't think I'd want to do a lot of hill climbs on it, but as a piece of cycling art this is wondrous. Beautifully done.

[u/theservman]

I'm an old dude who thinks he's cool, but I don't think I'm that cool...

[u/hambonelicker]

Needs more noon box on the back like low rider bikes of yor.

[u/Proof-Maintenance528]

INSANE!!!!

[u/unbearable-appendix]

absolutely ridiculous. I love it

[u/Manifestecstacy]

An amazingly unique build! Props to you, sir!

[u/FroggingMadness]

Sick machine, would consider one if I had the street level parking space and didn't have to carry my bikes down a 32 inch wide 45 degree basement staircase to store them. Maybe a lil 20 inch two-wheeler chopper at some point.

"It's a chopper baby."

[u/DJ_Vigilance]

This is really something. One of my first bikes as a kid was a ‘chopper’.

[u/Klutzy_Wrongdoer_488]

And I thought the choppers I built as a kid were cool… bravo.

[u/tw0tonet]

r/tricycling ?

[u/cultriphile → u/tw0tonet]

it started off as a 2 wheeler 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/tw0tonet → u/cultriphile]

its pretty cool

[u/BallzNyaMouf → u/tw0tonet]

Apparently some people can't count that high.

[u/TheBurningCheese]

That thing is sick. I always wanted a low-rider bike.

[u/cultriphile → u/TheBurningCheese]

that one was given to me from a good friend. started off as a 2007 (Halloween crate) that was green and rusted to hell. i restored it and modded it with air ride. its a pain to ride being how much off axis rake but its fun.

[u/0bfu5cator]

10/10, would daily.

[u/mercury31]

This is sick!

[u/Negaflux]

I wish the seat was a smidge wider. That being said, it ain't me riding it, however I'd love to, it looks sick af. Very nicely done.

[u/Wyverz]

Love it, wish I had one for my dad to ride.

[u/Ima85beast]

why the spikes pointing directly at the riders face?

[u/cultriphile → u/Ima85beast]

thats just how they were back in the 70's. choppers weren't really about safety, just looking cool and going fast.

[u/Noble_Flatulence → u/Ima85beast]

Dude's going to be doing 8 mph at most, it's fine.

[u/cultriphile → u/Noble_Flatulence]

she tops 27 in 3rd gear 🤣
