Bike from the Dead
I live for the CABE
That rake makes it look so aggressive! I totally dig it! I want to do that someday with a '79 Schwinn Fair Lady trike I'm building.This one was posted awhile back but I just saw a post from @Superman1984 on another thread that had a pic of a cool old bike done this way. I showed that pic to my son and 3 hours later this came out of the garage.
It is very cool looking, moreso than before I think. All it needs now is a headlight over the stem.
I rode it down to the park for these picks and wow is it squirrely with the stem behind the head and the long wheel base. I can see that it needs getting used to. It rides like a swing bike.
It also gathered a crowd at the park and a couple offers.... whooda thunk it.

But for now, I'm going with a more... traditional setup, due to budget constraints.
Tell your son to check out @Reallybigtim's bikes, especially on ratrodbikes.com. A lot of his bikes have that wild springer fork setup. In fact, he's actually the guy who inspired me to flip my springer that way.
