Sanwa Build

This isn't the exact bike I started with but it is identical. It was a Sanwa ten speed circa 1980.
 
I chopped off the seat post tube and cut off the rear seat stays. And whah-la... Chopper frame. I will keep the bottom European bracket and that's about it.
Stripped for the powder coater.
I found some cranks on eBay. Since I have decided to go with a rear 20" wheel, I will need a crank arm that is pretty small. I got these "bulletproof" cranks in 140mm size. I bought em for 29 bucks. I got the chain ring, bolts and chain on eBay as well. The cranks seem to be perfect size.
Back from the powder coaters. New sissy bar, DK seat post clamp and new seat post.
A $1.13 worth of fabric and I now have a decent looking seat.
Almost done. I bought some WCC wheels off of eBay. Some whitewalls from bicycledesigner.com Used my old pedals off of my Electra. Forks and stem are on their way.
