    The Hoard part I

    A Ratrodders dream..... Lots of good stuff... and also lots of stuff. I'd like to get someone to come and pick it up, so first shot is to any one in the SF Bay Area who's ready to come and get it. $1500 cash

    BO15 Get Ready for Bed!

    I've been planning that my next build would be a classic bedframe bike...with a twist. Realistically though, let's say roughly 50/50 I find the time to build this by September..

    Front wheel drive Electric hub...any help I can get appreciated!

    Looking to put an electric drive on a Schwinn Heavy Duti. I know nothing about these except what I want it to be able to do...get me and a packload of gear about 5 miles up a rather steep dirt road. Dont need to go fast necessarily, or be rad or high performance, just punch it up the mountain...

    F° 451...still building

    As you might guess, now that the BBO is done I finally have a little time to work on my bike...:) Still hoping we'll have another anything goes BO this winter, as I do suspect it'll take me at least that long to do this... So, what I've managed to get sorted out...the rear axle and wheel...

    Another one...The Pie Bike

    I posted some of the work from the beginning of this build...just can't remember where? Found this cool old GI camp oven and figured out a way to strap it to an old cycle truck. Fabricated a fresh steel shelf onto the CT frame, a fire box with a door for shoveling in coals, and a rear rack to...

    Asado Mechanico

    I was thinking I'd do two builds in the upcoming build off, since I have two builds I need to do, but just noticed it's one build only this go round... No Problemo! I'll do one here, and since this is sort of a re-do of an already existing creation, it's probably better anyway. Plus I'm hoping...

    Low Flyer...Rat 53

    The Low Flyer "Rat 53" has been brazenly advertising itself as a better X53 here for the last couple months. I'm ready to drop the hubris and admit the obvious....There is no building a better X53. While it's true that the famous icon built by Western Flyer is a rather flimsy machine, the...

    I don't know anything about Banana seats...

    Or Ape Hangers and Sissy bars either...except that I had em on a couple bikes when I was a kid :) Well, now I have project where I need a couple of each and I'm not sure which ones are good... I don't know if Schwinn made Coppertone banana seats, but that would be perfect. The Orange krate...

    Low Flyer...."Building a Better X53"

    I'm in. * Name Change! In consideration of all the real stretch bikes being built, I'll be calling this Low Flyer. The stretching of this frame is minimal. It is lowered quite a bit though!

    I've got a client interested doing a board track bike for his car and motorcycle collection/ man cave .... I'd love to see some bikes members have built and any awesome ones out there that you've seen and want to share :)

    Rusty Chopper needs a chain guard..

    And maybe a proper name... But I was hoping that I could get some forum feedback on some design ideas! Going to use the expanded metal, I've pulled a couple of CWC shapes so far (truss rods), but curios if anyone would like to post pics of some of their favorite classic chainguards ? Here are...

    Tips on how to convert to LED light?

    Mounted up this cool fog light, or motorcycle light ( or something..) and now I'm wondering what kind of LED light I can pop in there. Needs to most likely run on AAA batteries... And if possible, I'd like to mount an old toggle or rotary switch on the outside. Can it be done ??
