Step 1: What you needParts:

- At least two old bikes, one bike is also possible but gives your design lesser freedom.- Bikes need to have two good wheels, the best is to have two different sizes. Notice: you should use a front and a rear wheel.- Front fork- Good working pedals- Two bicycle chains- Four meters of iron pipes- Spraypaint- Sheet iron- Saddle- Handlebars- Keep the spare parts of the bikes, you could use them to finish your bike.

Tools:

- Welding materials- Ironsaw- Handtools- Grindtool

Image Notes1. Two bikes I used.

Step 2: Take the bikes apart with handtools.The first thing you do is taking the bikes apart and look what materials you can use.See the material list.Take them apart with the handtools, later you're going to saw.

Image Notes1. Saw here.

Step 4: Try to fit the parts together and start welding.Try to fit the frame parts together and measure it comparing your body.Saw the pipes in the correct length.Start welding the different parts together step by step.Last welding job: extension of the front fork, use two iron pipes of the same length.Watch out: Keep the frame straight and the wheels should be in line.

Image Notes1. This will fit!2. Watch out if you don't have some iron pipe like this you have to cut the framedifferent

Image Notes1. Making it stronger by using the iron plates.

Image Notes1. Connecting the rear with the mainframe.

Image Notes1. Extra pipe for more strenght.

Step 5: Put the bike together.Complete the bike by putting the different parts together and watch if everything fits well.

Image Notes1. Looks like a bike already.

Step 6: PaintjobStart by cleaning the bike carefully and take the bike apart.Start painting with a spraycan of the color you like.

Step 7: Finishing the bike.When the paint is really dry, you can put al the parts together again.Last step is lengthen the chain by nailing the two pieces together and putting it in place on the bike.Now the bike is ready to ride, only watch out you don't have brakes.

jimisnowhere says: Aug 16, 2010. 7:48 AM REPThe bike looks good, but I hope you didn't trash the LeRun you got that seat off of.

karlpinturr says: Jun 17, 2010. 2:37 PM REPCouple of bits of pedantry: Take the bike apart BEFORE cleaning it, as you'll have to clean where they've been, anyway. Also, why no sign ofprimer/undercoat? It does serve a purpose - Red Oxide slows rust, grey and white help your colour 'pop'.(the paint manufacturers will recommend one or th

other for each colour, but experimentation can work well). Personally, I tend to use the Red Oxide first, then the grey, and finish with the white - the numbeof coats depending on how bright or rich I want my finish. And a clear (and, indeed, a not so clear) lacquer will protect you paint job,, as well as giving it moshine and depth. Anyway, those are picky things (probably because I haven't watched the video) - as others have said, "It's a chopper, therefore it's good".I had them, you'd get FOUR thumbs up (and still I'd wish for more)!

Very Interesting says: Nov 15, 2009. 6:36 AM REPThe welding on the video was helpful. I may attempt this.

charles61 says: Jun 4, 2009. 7:26 AM REPcongratulations ! Nice and well done "teenager's bike" indeed but does not look very comfortable for the biker + lack of power (?). and what aboutaerodynamic when riding ?

lilpepsikraker says: Aug 7, 2009. 2:04 PM REP

Who the frick cares about aerodynamics and power! It's a chopper!

charles61 says: Aug 8, 2009. 4:17 AM REPlilpep...and so on, Please consider the facts : driver is not in good position to push the pedals for acquiring some speed whithout getting soon tiredand with the hands at eyes height he catch all the wind as if he was an "entonnoir". But, indeed, you are right, it's a chopper, even a Great " WindChopper" even if I found it fine and well done. Thank you for your comment.

Derin says: Jul 2, 2009. 11:36 PM REPyou could use bikes with coaster brakes...just a thought

zuneman says: Jun 28, 2009. 4:56 PM REPThis one trick bike man!

Charger_06 says: Jul 23, 2008. 3:56 PM REPnice bike i have some plans for a custom bike u might wont to make! if u want em privet message me!

oddblob says: Jul 5, 2008. 1:13 AM REPnice ride.. when you refer to iron pipes, and sheet iron, i am presuming you mean steel?

Derin says: Jul 10, 2008. 10:37 PM REPI think so,mine has Lite Steel written on the handlebars

hobbyman says: Jul 3, 2008. 11:52 PM REPnice bike, might look better with a smaller front wheel i guess. ;)

haz6sic6 says: Jun 26, 2008. 10:45 PM REPit shouldn't be that hard to configure a set of brakes for the bike. just grab an old U-Brake caliper, measure and drill the holes and you should be fine. findina cable may be a little difficult, so shop around and I would advise against having front brakes. because of the extra length on the bike, you would probablylose balance and the tail might kick out while braking. the brakes, and 8" rise bars, and it should be close to perfect

Plastic Fir says: May 31, 2008. 2:21 PM REPis the bike hard to steer? are chopper bikes sensitive?

The Rocketizer says: May 20, 2008. 1:09 AM REPThat bike is Badass. I might try to get my friend to make it to compete with my chopper. Good Job

themakeclass says: May 21, 2008. 11:31 AM REPThanks It was my first experience with a chopper bike so I was very pleased with it I'm glad you liked it.

bumpus says: May 19, 2008. 2:28 PM REPthat bike looks very well done, not like some of the hack-jobs done to bikes on instructables

themakeclass says: May 21, 2008. 11:29 AM REPThanks for your comment.

The Rocketizer says: May 20, 2008. 1:08 AM REPWell I don't see you trying to make any cool bikes. I reckon most of the bike instructables are quite good. Don't criticise if you have no experience.

bumpus says: May 20, 2008. 3:30 PM REPits just my opinion, and i favor this instructable over most of the others.
