Not the best pic, but it's my stripped down Electra Sparker. Bare metal with black 24"apes and one of those sweet Fattio's on the back. Favorite bike I've owned so far!

Trike to cart around my kiddos and 2-4's... :D My bare metal Electra Sparker

Love Electra's! My wife rolls on an old Cream/Tan Twiggy, used to have a Fink (RIP) but currently ride a bare-metal Sparker with Apes and a redone Coaster (pics below) and I've got one more Deluxe frame just waiting to be built back up.

A little Argyle action from a RRBO bike a couple summers ago. Just need to figure out how to vinyl cover my seats... fortunately, it rains once a decade in Tempe, AZ!

Thanks guys! I think I'm going to do it... Miller seems like the best thing out there, so I'll try to get my hands on one of those. Here's to truly building my own creation!! Cheers, Joey

So I took a class, learned to weld and now I need a welder! Yes, I've searched around here like crazy, but I can't figure out what machine to get that's powerful enough to hold a bike together without breaking the bike or the bank. Here's the deal: 1. I want to build bikes (ground up) that...

That is sooooooo sweet... I think its perfect for a calendar shot! Patina, barn and middle of nowhere: can it get more classic than this? Well done!

Dude... Three words: That. Is. Awesome. OK, five words: ...and huge!

Yeah, I found that measurement out and I also found that the head tube on Electra's are all one inch so I need to figure out if there's a way to fit it all together! Thanks for the help...

Hey guys, need some help here. I'm currently drooling over the Abraham Linkage fork (yes, over priced and waaaaay out of line considering it was $90 at one point, but I've got some play money!) and I want to know if it'll fit my Electra Sparker. It's an older model Sparker (first year it was...

This is worse than Facebook: I keep hitting refresh to check my vote count! Make it stop!! :wink:

I like this... :D I'm thinking of just going through this year's and attaching some of these to certain bikes. How about a "Could you REALLY ride that?" award...

I say we keep the voting. Some of us love the friendly competition and as long as we can keep it real and laid back, it pushes us to build better and cooler bikes. If the voting disappeared, I think some would miss that "push" you get when you're in competition and trying to out-do or out-create...
