    Boa-G’s on 80mm rim, how wide are they really?

    Good morning fellow builders! I have a question, and the title pretty much sums it up. I was wondering if anyone has put the Boa-G’s (26x3.45) on an 80mm wide rim. I have a Nexus 7 speed that I want to lace into them, but want to make sure the tire/rim combo won’t be too wide for the chain line...

    Fat Bottom Girl (it's a chopper, not a girl) for sale.

    The time has come to part with my 2017 build off entry, Fat Bottom Girl. I've had my fun, rode it to work, entered a car show (didn't trophy, haha). Most may remember the build thread, it received many compliments. It gets more in person. Since I don't have any point of reference to go by for...

    Build Off 12 Voting booth broken links

    I didn't want to muddy up the voting booth by posting at the bottom, but there appears to be several links to finished threads that aren't working properly. Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just user error on my part?

    Chop, Cut, Shuffle...now Fat-Bottomed Girl... Finished!

    I still can't believe I put a Porsche wheel on a bicycle. The fact that it is comfortable to ride is even more amazing. Thank you for all the support from the forum, but most of all, from my wife. She has been my biggest cheerleader during this entire build. Not once did she complain about...

    Cut, chop, shuffle, let's see what happens!

    I have been a member on this site for a while, but have decided to join my first build off. I spent some time thinking of a direction to go, and an ultimate goal. That has proved to be troublesome. Instead, I'm going to make it up as I go. I know I am going to use the Porsche GT3 wheel pictured...

    Schwinn E/F custom build, it has begun!

    I recently came across what was literally a pile of Schwinn electro-forged frames, and they all looked good starting points for builds. They were all stripped of paint or repainted to some degree, so of no value to me as far as restoration goes. The first frame I decided to do a dull gloss black...

    New Departure model "D" overhaul and year identification

    My normal Saturday nights involve staying in and working on bicycles, last night was no different. I disassembled, cleaned and overhauled my first New Departure model "D" coaster hub. It was fun, but a little frustrating at times. The brake plates were kinda tricky. I was wondering, is there a...

    Good morning, I am having a little trouble trying to ID a bike I picked up recently. Its a girls Western Flyer by Western Auto, skip tooth chain, peaked fenders and springer fork.

    1955 J.C. Higgins build, a long work in progress

    Here are some pics of my J.C. Higgins build that has finally taken some direction. I initially stripped the frame to go with bare metal, I liked the way the brazing looked. I finally decided to primer and paint it gloss black, which looks much better. I am going with 26" wheels, I found a ridged...
