I'm ready, but need to know the rules. I'm already in trouble with my wife. I came home from my LBS with a couple of clunkers destined for their dumpster. Still have 2 custom bikes I haven't finished.

I've built a couple of custom bikes before I joined this group. So, fill me in on the rules please. I know, start from scratch. My wife will give me that look when I drag home another questionable bike. Did they have bikes in the move "Demolition Man"? They did have Rat Burgers.

From a Blue Mongoose to a stretched low rider. Just need to add grips. I haven't found any that suit me for this bike build, yet.

Thanks. The front forks are actually from the back half of a suspension bike.

After 4 years of building bikes for the area kids who didn't have any, I decided to start building my own stuff. These are 2 of the mock-ups ready for disassembly and paint. The Blue Mongoose is now satin black waiting to be assembled. The red Alta Mongoose is next in line.

Sturmey Archer 3 speed with 16 inch tires.

still rides good

his started out as a standard chrome BMX style Mongoose. I got bored and changed it up. The chrome front is from the back half of a suspension bike. It rides good until you turn. Then it has to be a slow wide turn.

This was originally bought in Chicago 1968. I obtained it from the original owner. It needs a few things replaced.

All original made in Austria. I did replace the rear wheel and tires. This still rides great.
