finished cheapo derringer style

that is very nice indeed, very clean! where'd you get the gas tank?
 
Nice looking MB. I really like the vintage look. Bet you'll have alot of fun on that one!!
 
First word that popped in my mind when I clicked that pic was TANK.

Awesome bike,man.

How much gas can you put in there?
 
thanks for all the comments.

tank was bought used from a fellow in north carolina. it holds a little over a gallon and a half.
 
what is that style tank called? also, the seat is great, i gotta know what you did there..

the first time i saw how much a derringer bike was i said to myself, i bet you can build one just like it for around 250 - 300 bucks

I like it!

Sure doesn't look "cheapo".

How did you support the rear of the seat? I can't quite make it out from the picture. Also, what did you do for handlebars?
 
The seat support is actually just another springer section from an old saddle bent and clamped with a kickstand support brace. the saddle itself is just an old brooks saddle off my old road bike. the derringer seat arrangement was the biggest design flaw of their bikes, it just looks bad. so i tried to make it more board tracker style. quite comfortable.
