Any of you fellas have builds that don't look so typical?

Like maybe some fairings or a motorized bike that isn't just a beach cruiser or mountain bike?

Looks cool and functional too. Do you go to the track events?

It's not his bike...lol...he is just showing that video as an example of unconventional looking builds.

I like to think my bike is "unconventional" because of how good it looks .

Not like crap... more like not my version of a pretty bike

Even if someone's bike isn't pretty I still see the craftsmanship, time, and effort put into their bikes

Your body must be equipped with a freewheel...That was one of the best examples of "backpedaling" I have heard in a long time...lol...lol.

No, your build is a standard as they come. Beach cruiser frame to build a facsimile of a cruiser motorcycle. It came out well enough despite needing a wide crankset, but not really unique. Jaeraye has something special with the custom frame. I am interested in real oddballs, like Mr. Cannonball's builds. The folding bike he motorized came out great and its not something you see too often.

I have some ideas for a couple builds based on a custom frames but that's unlikely to become a reality seeing as I don't have the tools, time or money to do the concepts justice, not to mention only barely understanding the fundamentals of the skills required.

Dang, back to the drawing board

Your bike is just fine there Gordy, I would bet that not too many 16 year old kids in your town have even the basic skills you possess in order to build a bike like yours.
