Custom 2014 Bespoke balance bicycle. Made out of broken and scrap steel bicycle frames.
Specialized 22.2 risers cut pretty narrow, Black-Ops cheap BMX stem.
Heavily modified "Tonka"/Magna collabo fork, with sectioned and widened lowers and completely fabricated uppers. Specialized needle bearing headset.
2 piece cast alloy rim, 3.00 x 4. Qing Da tire. Tires are the equivalent of a 10" x 3.0", and are from a Schwinn S-400 scooter.

Your spokes are jokes.
Broken Brooks with torn leather was cut down and frame shrunk & rewelded into a mini brooks, made by my co-worker. 22.2 Primo Rod.
Where we're going we don't need roads.
Cafe racers are the new fixies.
Original Schwinn scooter disc brake, 140mm 3 bolt rotor. V-pull lever.
I can't remember if I was going to take out a link or add a spacer to fix this problem.
Custom home made 12" wheel 135/10 bolt on with bi-plane crown and 30mm travel. Extra light springs tuned for 30 pound rider weight.

In November 2014, a challenge between staff at the Community Cycling Center bike shop was proposed by one of our mechanics. The nature of the challenge was to build a balance bike of the builders own design, in 3 weeks time out of found and recycled materials. 5 people participated, and this is my entry. This thing is in keeping with my penchant for wide rubber, extraneous systems, heavy bikes and rad shit. This and the other 4 bikes my co-workers made are part of an auction that ends December 17th, 2014, if you would like to know more please check out http://www.communitycyclingcenter.org/index.php/5-hand-crafted-balance-bikes-up-for-bids-balance-bike-build-off-auction/
Future shredders for a better tomorrow.
