First of all I would like to say that I have seen some really amazing bikes built on the site, there are definitely some talented builders here. I have been lurking for a few weeks soaking up al hte builds from the other threads and have learned quite a bit watching these bikes go together, thanks to all of the contributers here. A few weeks back I picked up a 26" cruiser that i want to build for myself with a springer fork and new paint etc, it was a garage sale find of 10.00.
Anyway, I saw this kids bike build and since i wanted to put together a new bike for my son since he has torn his up pretty good, I went diggin around for some parts bikes. Don't know if this fits the criteria for a RRKB build, but it was fun working on bikes with my kid and teaching him how they come apart and go back together. Btw, my name is Rob I live in Nashville and want to weld up a freak bike too
Here is what we started with
Stripping the parts bike down, here is my son learning to take apart a chain
Grinding off the chain guard brackets
My sons turn to try the angle grinder
New flat black paint
reassembly
at this point the sun was going down so I quit taking pics to get it finished before dark, but here is the finished product in action the next day
