This is another construction that does not go unnoticed. It is a type of bicycle that has never personally attracted my attention, but when you see a\u00a0build like that, the care put into doing it, the quality of the finishes, the details … a thing is something that is not your type and another thing is that you do not like it or it is not well made.<\/em><\/p>\n This bike has been the winner of Class 2 (anything goes) of build off Muscle bikes Rat rod bikes 2017. The builder is Tom.J.Wilson of which there is already another bicycle in a previous post; Flashback GT MBBO#5 class 2 winner in 2015 you can see it here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n En palabras del constructor; la idea de construir esta bicicleta le viene de cuando era peque\u00f1o:<\/p>\n \u00abLa\u00a0Schwim Krates siempre me pareci\u00f3 la definici\u00f3n de una muscle bike. Probablemente porque las Schwim eran las \u00fanicas\u00a0muscle bikes de las que era consciente. Nunca tuve una, pero a\u00fan recuerdo la primera que vi, una\u00a0 Cotton Picker, nueva, propiedad del ni\u00f1o mayor al final del bloque.\u00bb<\/p>\n In builder’s words; the idea for this bicycle is when he was a child.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00abThe Schwim Krates always seemed like the definition of a muscle bike to me. Probably because Schwinns were the only muscle bikes I was aware of back in the day. Never had one but I still remember the first one I saw, a brand new Cotton Picker, owned by the older kid down the block.\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n Rueda trasera de 24\u00bbx3\u00bb con cambio externo de 4 marchas. Es mi \u00fanica pega porque creo que un cambio interno siempre le da mas limpieza a estas bicicletas, pero comprendo que el constructor quiere piezas vintage. Una delantera de 20\u00bbx 1.5\u00bb y disco de freno que le queda como anillo al dedo. Las punteras de la horquilla preciosas, con las tuercas dentro del cilindro.<\/p>\n Rear wheel is 24\u00bbx 3 \u00bb with 4 external gears. This is my only \u00abfail\u00bb ( I don’t know the word in english)\u00a0 because I think an internal hub\u00a0 always give more cleaning to those bicycles, but I understand the builder want to use vintage parts. Front wheel is 20\u00bb x 1.5\u00bb with disk brake that fits like a finger. Fork drop outs are beautifull\u00a0 with bolts inside the cilinders.<\/em><\/p>\n El guiado de los cables es la guinda al pastel. Tal vez el cable de freno delantero podr\u00eda haberse llevado\u00a0pegado a la horquilla para que se notara menos, algo como para el freno trasero…\u00a0 en fin mas que nada es por sacarle alg\u00fan pero (risa maliciosa).<\/p>\n Cable\u00a0guideing is the icing on the cake. Maybe the cable of the disk brake could\u00a0have been stuck to the fork to make it less noticeable, something like rear brake cable … more than anything to get some but (malicious laught).<\/em><\/p>\n Una horquilla de muelle totalmente fabricada a mano que es una preciosidad. Con un paso de rueda en el l\u00edmite, m\u00e1s justo imposible. El pulido final hace un contraste muy fino con el color del cuadro. Alguien dijo que se parec\u00eda a una avispa, sin duda si la horquilla fuera negra ser\u00eda una.<\/p>\n A springer fork completly hand made that is gorgeous. With an imposible clerarance, more just impossible. Final polish make a very fine final contrast with frame colour. Someone said that it looked like a wasp, no doubt if the fork was black it would be.<\/em><\/p>\n En definitiva una creaci\u00f3n de las que son \u00fanicas, que te hacen disfrutar viendo el proceso creativo del constructor y en el que sin duda aprendes mucho de alguien que hace las cosas con ese\u00a0 grado de perfecci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n In short, a creation of those that are unique, that make you to enjoy watching the creative building process and in which you undoubtedly learn a lot from someone that\u00a0does things with that dregree of perfection.<\/em><\/p>\n Si alguien esta interesado en ver todo el proceso aqu<\/a>\u00ed\u00a0puede seguirlo.<\/p>\n If\u00a0anyone is interested to follow\u00a0the whole the process here<\/a> can\u00a0see it.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Esta es otra construcci\u00f3n de las que no pasan desapercibidas.
