My Longboard

2011-08-21T12:04:00.000-07:00

This is a longboard I made for myself.

After designing the shape on paper, a friend helped me with the Wood, Nut, Maple and Mahogany.

extensive shaping, sanding and lackering went in to this and finishing with pinstriping, etc.

Paris trucks and Zig Zag retro wheels roll this baby like on a pacific wave.

My latest ride

2010-12-17T10:06:00.001-08:00

Just finished my latest ride, I especially build this one to take with me when I'm travelling
abroad with a plane or car.

I used an aluminium cruiser frame which I extended in the rear with 8 cm's

In the front I used an old (1930's - 1940's) fork, I had to make a new rod to fit in this headset.

Also machined a dragstyle shifter.

Mounted a 1930 's combination lock in the rear, welded an extended seatpost and machined this alu chainguard.

Made a wicked handlebar to make a neat Outlaw style.

Some old front and rear lights which get it's power from the front dynamo hub.

Just have to do some pinstriping to finish it.

Painted the striping after this Daimler was completly resprayed.
The car was crashed and had to have a completly new paint job.

It looks way nicer and has a more smoother and autentic look.
