My New Chicken Chaser

[Rob]

No not got a build thread or a spread sheet! But i do have a few pics as i went along, its got kepspeed swing arm and forks, kepspeed flat bars and conversion plate, kepspeed exhaust, standard wheels powdercoated black rear and just black rim front. Brand new honda brake shoes with new springs. Mad munk headlight and switch gear, mad munk front brake lever and cable, conti air filter, home made seat, custom fuel tank to relocate the fuel cap to the rear of the seat. Original 1983 leg shields, continental 2.75 whitewalls...

Think thats about it! Il of missed something but its all more or less brand new

Thanks a lot for the info, mines a B reg iirc. I've had most of it apart already so converting it should be alright, and reversible.

The wheels, did you take them apart yourself and just chuck them, spokes and all, into a powder coaters? That's my biggest question!

I have brand new conti go's so just need the wheels done. I'm going for form a list later and see what it's going to cost me. I need a project anyway.

@Rob just chucked the full built wheel in the powdercoaters! But on the front wheel i only got the rim powdercoated as i wanted it silver on the front with black rim but full black on the rear.

Spokes can be bought cheaply if you wanted to respoke, all sorts of colours so the world is your oyster

and reversible.

Not after you've taken an angle grinder to the rear end it isnt

How do you mean? Most of the rear end on mine is a plastic trim!

I'm not sure how the metal looks without cutting it down, but I shall see

It seems they vary, but bare frames on many cubs are like this:

This is a 50, but it was the best I could find:

So people bob the tails like this:

It seems some of them however came with a different frame:

Which sounds like what you're describing?

Yeah I'm pretty certain the bottom one is my frame

I want to mock but I can't. Cool as f*ck.

Makes life a little easier, both from a reversibility point of view and also legality, since frame mods are a bit of a no no.

A cub's more a push bike than a real bike.. I'm sure frame mods would scrape through

Few pictures from a ride out with @craigyt today.

Remember these from being a kid and hammering them through the barff. A lot of fun. Love the styling of them. Looks like you should be riding it in Aidensfield.

I really want one of these. They look so good. Just need my bike licence now. ☹️

Few pictures from yesterday. Still great fun and now no L plates as I passed my test!

 

[Mr R.]

Congratulations on the test pass mate.
I passed mine in 2000 and only rode a bike for 10 months after that.

If love another one just for fun one day.

Looking good. This is as far as I have got with mine.
