Pee-Wee's Big Adventure Bike

Skill......I think I like the X2 even better!

Skillcrane, The Black X2 is looking awesome... I remember Abe was throwing around the idea of doing one a while back as well. I am glad someone is actually doing an evil version. White seat, pedals and mudflaps would be awesome...

Thanks Edward (& Gregg). Already got the white seat & white pedals (plus white chain & white cabling). Now I just need the white flaps...

Few more surprises in the works. Hoping I can get some done this weekend, but I have a ton of plans Saturday & Sunday. If I get any other work done this week, I'll make sure to post pics.

Well I haven't had any updates to post in a while, but I'm going to say that within 6 weeks I'm going to have some big announcements I'm pretty excited about! I've been super busy doing a lot of work with my machine shop to get some of the details lined out and I FINALLY found a shop to do my powder coating that I'll be happy with. I hope to have my bike all red and white by next week, so I'm super stoked about that, and I have a pin stripe expert lined up for right after.

I don't know if anyone is doing the rings around the red lights in the back, but I found these and I'm hoping they will work:

Metal O-Rings

I ordered the 2" x 1/4" ring like what was used on screen. I should have it any day and I'll let you guys know how it works out.

Also my buddy who I made a chain guard for backed out, so I'm selling my extra stainless steel chain guard on ebay....

It's not quite a hundred million, trillion, billion dollars, but it's as close as most will get.

this the same bicycle ? have an opportunity to get it - looks close and is a schwinn

 

[KansasJack]

Close but not quite. The Pee Wee bike doesn't have a straight lower bar under the top bar. See the link below for what the correct frame looks like; you'll see that the lower bar has a curve to it. That's a nice bike though. If you can get it for under $75 it would make a nice cruiser for pub crawl rides and jaunts to the local coffee shop. 1948 Schwinn DX

Finishing up some Rocket Ray details. I might add the lower rear red wing that is on a few bikes I have seen. Does anybody know if this third wing was on the actual bike? I built the propeller in Cad in 3 minutes and FDM'd it in 5 minutes. Quickest build ever!

 

[Abelugo]

There is a 3rd fin on the bottom of the rocket ray base, I made my prop with a scrap piece of Pennzoil bottle as its already yellow.

you could make a back lot security guard bike with that..
I'm pretty sure they were blue straight bars

[Ollin]

Abe, and anyone else in LA area...

Ciclavia is this sunday. Is anyone else going? If so we should set up a meet-up. I would love to check out some of your guys replicas up close. That's the perfect place to ride your bike!

 

[ranallace]

my silver jet - i now have the tank as well , and new wheels and tires

 

[Abelugo]

The security bikes were Worksman cruiser bicycles. A really easy replica to make, i actually had one in the works. Now its under my desk as work.

Anyone still need Signal Stats? Someone listed new replacements on The Eebs:

Item 111318052100 (2 reds left)
111318058352 (1 orange left)

Grabbed one of the reds for myself when he still had 3. I already had one 9008, but could never find the second one.

What is The Ebbs? I searched the internet but did not find anything. I currently am using some Cadillac lights with internal LED clusters.

Here are a few more photos of my project to share with the group. Happy Friday!!

"The Eebs" aka Ebay.

Coming along well by the way.

EDIT: Looks like they sold. Hopefully you or another RPF'er snagged them.

EDIT EDIT: Spoke with the seller. He will be listing another pallet of Signal Stat lenses (all varieties) soon. You may want to keep an eye on that guy's listings over the next week or so if you are still looking for lenses for your bags.

 

[joemaccarthy]

Thanks Skillcrane. I might get a set incase I change my mind on the lights and go more for accuracy. How do you like the look of the Cadillac lights? More Rocket Boy for sure. I like that they have more engine jettiness.
