Home-Built "Chopper" Bike FARM HOME Novelty Items 29-5-42 A farmer-friend of mine and his family have a lot of fun with this low-cost, attention-getting "Chopper" bike that he made.
Tom McMillan admits that it might be mid-life that motivated him to complete this project that's been on the back burner for "years and years." He says, back when he was 10, kids were building chopper bikes and he always wanted one, but never did it. Finally, now that he has two children of his own, he decided it was time.
Tom used old table legs for the extended fork and combined the back end of two bikes to lengthen the body so it wouldn't flip over backward. A sissy bar supports the rider's back.
His children, Adam, 11, and Valerie, 9, agree that it's "just a fun thing to run around the yard with." (Janis Schole, R.R.#1, Pickardville, Alta., Canada T0G 1W0 ph 780 349-3438; jschole@west-teq.net)
