Nirve switchblade/stretch cruiser

chopped up my nirve and stretch cruiser...... I think it turned out alright. I am trying to set up a alblum, but it kicks me out, for some reason.
so here is the pic of my latest bike.

honda gx100
comet 2/1 jackshaft
belt drive
80mm front wheel disc
100 mm rear 3 sp sturmy archer
this bike gets me stopped by the police everytime, but they are in awe that its a pedal assisted bike.:cry:

Mike
More to come on this bike, its never ending.

That is really nice. Great style and it sounds like some great engineering. Do you have any close up pictures of the drive train?
 
I will bring the bike home and take some better pic's with a better camera.
I also put on a better looking seat, quasi motorcycle seat with the externals of a bicycle seat to make it fit. It really changes the look of the bike.

nirve switchblade frame, lowrider stretch cruiser frame. Cut the Nirve rear swingarm / frame and welded the stretch cruiser top bar onto it or such. You will see the splices on the frame. cut down some stock fork tubes from an old west coast chopper bike, etc. welded on some brake caliper tabs for the disc. It looks ok, still havent finished up the bondo work to make it look smooth.
 
pics of my crappy welding.... need to work on some bondo too.
painted the front forks, pic of the quasi motorcycle seat with bike internal springs etc.

enjoy,
Mike

IE: how would I get this frame duplicated, the most cost efficient way? bring it to a welder? machine shop? My buddy wants one just like it, I cant duplicate the frame, it would cost to much to chop up two new bikes!
