Excellent, nice looking project.
Well done.
I wish I had one of those when I was a nipper!

Me too
of course way back when, choppers were outlaw bikes....
I took a 20" BMX Mongoose, cut the pedal tube and the handlebar tubes out and positioned them flat on my locost build table in a cool chopper
look. cut new tubes to fill the gaps and welded it all up. Cut the forks and extended them about 2 feet. All in all this bike is 7' long. I
picked up some 144 spoke wheel, a springer flame pattern seat, cool twisted crank and pedals and painted the whole thing in a heavy metalic pearl
blue, (a Dupont Hot Hue). I hate to say what I have in it labor and material, it is kinda scarey...but the kid likes it and that is all that
matters..now I have to build one for a nephew.
