My chopper, know as "the Klunkr". Crappy night shot. I'll post better when I've got some more.

Be warned, you cant drill through it with a hand drill.
A drill press hardly touched it, I needed to use a plasma cutter and a rotary tool.

I used to make my own fixie hubs by welding a cog onto an old freewheel assembly and locktiting it on to an old road hub, kept bending axles and breaking cogs, went with a surly hub and cog with a dura-ace lockring and am more than happy. The only "real" bike part(s) that I own that didn't come from the dump/rummage sales/dumpsters.

Wtp - you'll never get any credibility with the tall bike crowd. You'd got paint, the parts all seem to roughly match, and the bike even looks reasonably safe, not as though it might fold at any moment.

I've started commuting on it and I live on a hill, it's nice not to have to drag my foot on the tire when I need to stop.
