    Hey Mick, been a fan since I was a kid. Wishbone frame with narrow glide, 21 inch wheel, mini apes with root beer or purple finish with heavy flake.

    This is great to watch Mick.
    I’d love to see the Panhead frame with narrow glide and skinny frisco sporty tank. Short rear fender with a white wall. A classic lane splitter chop 🤘

    Iam excited. For my taste nothing's more old skool than a rigid with a springer front end.Iam a huge fan of the Panhead (love the lines of panhead frames) so frame number 1 with the springer front would be my pick
    Really looking forward to watching this build. Mate ur shed is a treasure trove of bloody awesome stuff. You must feel like a kid candy shop when u look around it.👍👍

    Awesome channel Mick, remember the old (90's) California style chops... Long, Low, Narrow, Raked, Streched tins,, your softail frame would suit nicely

    Coffin tank, extended front forks, and a king & queen seat with a sissy bar ala 70s style. Lovecthe 70s style choppers. I've built many bicycles with this sort of style but never two exactly the same.

    I like the sound of the last year rigid frame and either the modified springer or the narrow glide forks

  • @Mattherat
    @Mattherat Місяць тому +5

    I know that I would like to see you use a rigid frame, narrow glide front end with the 21 and front drum squeezed in. High and tight! Thanks Mick!!

    @EyeSaws Місяць тому +3

    Being old & well, rooted, go with the faux hardtail, springer front & that gorgeous drum brake setup with 19” narrow white wall. 💜👊🏼

    Love the Billy bike ,but I love springers . Low lean& mean preferably but long stretched out is old school kool ! Either hard tail frame but #2 would be less cutting but I'm just lazy! Can't wait to see the progress on this build !

    Straight leg frame, narrowed fatbob tanks on risers, double leg springer front end with drum brake conversion. Panhead motor, kick start, suicide clutch with hand shifter........

  • @MicahBell_1860
    @MicahBell_1860 21 день тому

    As long as you don't build it to look like mine, Mick. Always wanted you to paint my one. 1960s style U model Flathead. You remember Blackie's one? Maybe you could help me? I'm trying to find a pan drum brake hub to lace up to a 21" wheellike the one at 12:10 or complete wheel to fit my 6" over springer forks

  • @carlsharples8912
    @carlsharples8912 Місяць тому

    Early Pan Head frame seems the best choice to me.
    The straight leg is too good to chop around.
    Go oldskool all the way. High mount Fisco tank, rocker foot clutch, jockey shift.
    Original springers with mechanical front and rear brake setup.
    Or use the narrow glide front end and extend the legs by +2 for a nice comfy front end with a 21” wheel.
    3 circuit electrics (ignition, charging,lighting)
    16” rear or 18” if you have one, 21” front laced to the drum.
    Like seeing a chop with out cluttered bars, no master cylinder and only one lever for the mechanical front brake.
    Building my own Stroker shovel chop along these lines

  • @baseball4everyone

    The rigid frame in the middle, wide glide front end. You make fuel tank,

  • @glennstatham960
    @glennstatham960 26 днів тому

    A hundred years ago, as a kid I read a quote in a magazine that was "anyone can restore a car (bike) but it takes guts to chop one". The early frames are rare and cool - so let's chop one of them with a fabbed fuel tank.
