All American Death Racer concept bike

If a trip to the bike shop tomorrow reveals that these wheels can have new spokes, and as long as I'm not desecrating a valuable classic, here's what might happen.

Any thoughts on the strength of the skip-link drive?

They make it and I drink it.

I was considering using a piece of 2 1/2" pvc for the tank and heating it to get the slight bend required. I would cut the tops and bottoms out of the cans and just thread them onto the pipe.

gasoline and PVC

I suspected that too, but a couple of other guys on the site said they used pvc without any trouble.

Any other recommendations for material?


I would just solder one up out of copper sheet, but what I have in mind would be a very difficult shape--not a cylinder, but longer on one side sort of like a banna.
 
ABS plastic pipe?

its stronger and more durable...wont sun rot as easy, and i think it is able to carry slightly corrosive liquids...
