      Hi,
      nice to see a new project in the bike section. Tell us a little bit more about the fat tire. How do you make it and will it get profile (and how). IŽll keep watching.

      Thanks for the interest mate.
      The tyre was made from a 50mm pvc socket and the wheel from a 50-40 mm pvc reducing bush,all found in the plumbing My 1/9 softail/chopper section of your local hardware store,you can see the early bits in some of my pics.
      Not sure about a profile on the tyre as i dont have a lathe ,which means hand filing,a bit dodgy,
      Ill have a rough go on the first tyre i made and see what it looks like.
      Cheers

      The hardware store is one place I really haven't looked for goodies. It looks like a trip to Lowe's and Home Depot is in order.

      That rear tire looks great all painted up.
