    Free Motobecane Nomade

    Picked this one up yesterday. A friend of my dad's told me last week he had a bike for me and couldn't remember the name. Drove me crazy til I got it yesterday. Its a running bike, just needs new tubes. From a few searches i narrowed it down the mid 70's, not 100% certain though. Anyone got the...

    The "Bad" Rat is done...

    Thanks guys, The handlebars have been a headscratcher for me too. I've had then right side up, flipped and even swapped then for the apes off my cruiser. I actually liked the apes, just need to find the right ones.

    The "Bad" Rat is done...

    Didn't get a chance to take high resolution pics of the build so I'm posting pics of the finished product. This is my first 26" build and I am stoked with the results. The "Bad" is short for Badillo, my fathers last name. This is what I started with: The end result: Ruddy Brown Primer was my...

    $15 Flea market find

    I had an idea it was a Huffy. The sprocket is exactly the same as one i have on a kids huffy bike Im using for parts. As far as paint Im leaning towards primer red, black and maybe white walls. As mentioned earlier, buying a tire will cost as much as the bike itself. Mocked it up earlier with a...

    $15 Flea market find

    First order of business was to replace bars and seat. This is where I stand so far. Plenty of ideas for this build, we'll see where i end up going. Ill work on an I.D. when i start taking it apart.

    $15 Flea market find

    Took my daughter out this afternoon to see what parts I could wrangle up and happened upon this one. I thought long and hard...for 10 or 15 seconds and we were on our way home. This is it as i bought it. Not too bad as is, uploading pics of it after a quick dig through my parts stash.

    Bones' Cruiser done

    Never really done with these builds, are we? Haha. Came across a bunch of pictures of bobbers online and decided to go as close as i could without any major chopping or welding. Ill save the banana seat for another build.

    Bones' Cruiser done

    Not sure what to consider my Slow-Rodder in it's current condition except cruiser. After finally swapping out cranks it rides great. Kept the high-rise bars and mirrors. Kept the fade scheme going with the spokes as well.License plate fasteners I came across.Mismatched tires show my inner...

    Bones' Cruiser is done!!! (for now)

    Re: Finish line near. Letting the sun do its magic.(New Pics) Dont have my camera for the final pics but the longer crank length makes a world of difference. Just found out that the L.B.S. i would buy my lowrider parts years ago is still open and going strong. Great news since all the parts i...

    Re: Finish line near. Letting the sun do its magic.(New Pics) Thanks. Yup, the previous owner stripped the crank i think and welded the pedal to the crank, on the non drive side. Been putting this off since i got it last year.
