Chain Frame
 
3 Attachment(s)
Wanted to do something different
So I decided to build and stretch a frame out of a tow chain.
Holding up so far, gonna do some more welding on it once I get some more wire and gas
What do you think so far?

Heres how it started

Finished for now

I have a video of me riding it just in case any one doubts that it can be ridden lol, I wasnt even sure at first it would work but so far so good.
Gonna leave th chain raw no paint but some of the other pieces will get painted
Thanks for looking

Is there a weak link in this construction technique? ;)

That's pretty darn cool... that would make a for a great parade bike.

You ever see the chain frame chopper Indian Larry did?

Yes Indian Larry was and always will be an ICON. After I did this one I also had someone send me a link that George Barris did one for the TV show The Munsters

It never made the show but cool article
I may do another but similar to a stretched beach cruiser this time but not sure, have another idea for something that I havent seen before but gonna do some more research before I do it.
Thanks
Bernie

Great website, thanks for the link.
Now, you know your next project has got to be some chain spoked wheels for that frame ;) http://bikerodnkustom4.homestead.com/gallery467.html
