[theboss290]

G'day Daniel from South Australia here , Interested in chopper / dragsters and old school BMX

Just wondering how many ppl are interested in this in SA Ive met a couple of ppl but they dont seem to be associated with any one.

Also is there any good places for parts for the dragsters there use to be a good shop near Thebarton but that has closed down any others out there ??

any info would be great cheers

hi Daniel,

where in adelaide are you?

EBAY & swap meets have been my best spot to find bits n pieces!

always keen for a cruise.....

[theboss290]

in the northern burbs (craigmore)

havent got anything to cruise on yet in the mids of building a 16" rotrod styled lowrider for my youngest daughter (littlerusty) , 20" dragster for my eldest daughter (no theam for this bike yet!!) I also have a choper 01 (thats how its spelt on the bike) made by a company called Black Horse back in the 70's which i will be building up for myself ( looks the same as a Raleigh Chopper ), I wouldnt mind get myself a 24" cruiser/chopper for cruising I would like to build one from scratch but havent done anythig like that yet...................yet

You would love the knuckle heads from Adelaide.


OK so they are a bunch of wild 20 year olds, but they love this stuff. They are Adelaides biggest fans of the dragster breed.


You need to ride with us too Boss.

Mock up of a low rider push bike Im building for my youngest.

just to see how it will all fit

Im loving the kustom culture rat rod seen atm, before i was into cars i was into building kustom and chopper push bikes. This was before my kids were born, Thought i better get off my back side and get back in to it and build the youngest some thing to cruise

So the project is a kustom 16" low rider which will have a rusty low rider / dragster look to it, the other bike in them photos is what she is having fun with now, the frames on both are identical but you will notice the ride hight and length in the kustom.

The idea is the frame will be a custom black with a large green metallic flake through it, the green seat from the other bike and NOS from the 70's green metallic handle grips, the bike will be a bitsa in true rat fashion with a comber nation of old and modern parts.















I will post up more when i get the work done.

That's gonna be pure evil, love the front wheel!

[theboss290]

cheers I think your right tho !! its going to be evil for sure, I highly doubt the youngest will be able to ride it, the rake is going to be crazy and the cranks are super short!!

Should be a interesting build though

I should of taken a photo of it with me standing next to it, the highest part of it in mok form was the top of the handle bars which came up to my knee's mind you once its built it will sit higher but not much !!

[theboss290]

one i built 10 years ago for the eldest its not much

Thought I'd do a bit of a freshen up of my daughters old hack





Fresh paint , polish of the chrome , removed unnecessary bits , new seat as the other is going to be used on little rusty.

[dunno]

they are awesome mate. That little rusty is gonna be the goods. Is that all bolt on stuff or have things been cut and shut? I've just picked up a heap old bikes and this is the path I want head down with a couple of them.

[theboss290]

Most of it is bolt on stuff but will be fabricating a few bits and pieces.

Ive got a couple of other frames which i will be trying out filling and stretching on
