This bike saw plenty of action until someone walked up! the front bar and bent it. At one point, it had some coaster wheels slapped to the back so that a rolling pop chop trike was instigated.

(Originally dubbed the "Boltergeist" due to the plans to use bolts to hold it together). It actually held itself up with gravity before I added the straps! Long-lived and Far-ridden, it saw action at RennFayre at least thrice including various jousting competitions around P-town. Chosen by Krack out of a line-up once, it had a really comfy seat and a nice view.

Believe me it was a bitch to get up and down the basement at the Fridge. I rode this to Critical Mass about a half-dozen times, and rewelded the front pipe more than twice due to the insane pitch. Probably one of my favorite builds of all time due to the final length and prized back coaster wheel, not to mention the lack of bearings in the head tube and the bananarama. Could it still be in the basement?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03848358760793678539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22653980.post-1140302772038849252006-02-18T14:40:00.000-08:002006-02-18T14:46:12.040-08:00Orange Crotch Chop<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5486/2284/1600/orange%20chop.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5486/2284/320/orange%20chop.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Annie poses with it on 37th, before the final push to paint and chain it up.
