A guy I work with has been messing around after work making a chopper bicycle. Thought some of you would like this...

That's pretty cool. Post pictures when he finishes it. At the last Wakesports Unlimited event this summer, some guy from Canyon Lake brought down a chopper 50. Looked like fun.

Wakeboarder- It's only 34" tall but over 7'6" long.

BoardinDan- He's actually a very normal guy with a wife and young daughter. Since his daughter was born he has decided to play things a little safer. Instead of a motorcycle he built a bicycle. Pretty cool if you ask me. The guy has serious metal fab skills. He has only spent a few hours total on this project and bought all the parts (suspension, airbag, and bike stuff) off ebay. I guess not everyone is normal like you.

I've seen a few 50's that have been chopped but I think this bicycle looks a lot better than those.

Chales-Here's a pic of where you sit. It's actually a fairly comfortable position.

Tyler- I want to make a chopped cruiser also so I'd love to see how yours turns out. I think I'll do mine out of aluminum so the Tig Welding will take me a while. I'm also in the process of planning a wakeboard tower. Lots of projects and so little time. I guess that's what winters are for...

He still has a ton of work to do on the bike. He's doing the rear fender on an english wheel so that will take some time. Lots of skeptics on here. The point isn't to have this super fast bike but more for having fun while fabricating something that looks really cool.
