    SWB0 Scrap metal

    One of my coworkers threw this in the scrap metal dumpster at work, so obviously I took it home. The wheels were mismatched and beat, and all the shifter parts for the rear sturmey archer 3 speed are missing so I tossed the wheels in the pile. This is how it sits now I will probably use...

    No idea

    That was fun! Always a pleasure building bikes with you guys. This year I’ve got a 1937 Harris/ Snyder bike, thanks Wildcat for the identification! I used some leftovers, some road bike parts, some Bmx parts and some junk. Hope you like it 😀 I started with this, bought it in 2019 and pushed it...

    Cadillac

    Another one done! Started with a 1937 Shelby frame and threw some random bicycle parts at itit rides nice and rolls smooth, rattles a bit but it’s 85 years old so that’s ok. Thanks for all the comments, advice and compliments, as always it’s been a blast building bicycles with you guys, already...

    Cadillac

    Late start but I wanna play! Hurt myself and was out of work for a month, just got cleared to go back yesterday. I’ve been watching and it looks like I’ve got some catching up to do! I’ve had this 1930-something Shelby with a Cadillac badge for a few years now, bought it as a frame, fork and...

    Off road Rollfast

    As close to finished as it’s gonna get, snow threw a wrench in my test ride plans but it’s a functional bike. Started with a $35 swap meet frame, some 20 year old mountain bike parts and a new BMX crank. If it rides as good as it looks I’ll be happy, thanks for another fun build off!!

    Off road Rollfast

    I’ve been wanting to build a klunker type bike for a long time, I got this frame at a swap meet 4 years ago and started collecting parts, and still can’t find the head badge I bought for it. A rollfast badge fits the dirt outline and the mounting holes line up, so that’s what I’m assuming it is...

    Blue bike

    Done! Started with a swap meet frame, a rusty fork, a pile of parts and an idea, ended up with this. Other than the rims, all paint is original. Thanks for watching 😁 ride on my friends

    Blue bike

    I wanna play! I skipped last year because the camera in my phone didn’t work so I had no way to document anything. Got a new old phone now so I’m in! I have no idea what I’m gonna build yet but it will be blue. Got 3 swap meet score frames to choose from, this Westfield If I use this one it...

    Shelby hot rod

    I’m in, I have a frame and a vision. Whether or not the bike cooperates remains to be seen. I have a couple races coming up and a big project at work so progress will be slow at first. The extra month this year will be helpful. I also have no idea if any of the parts I want to use going to play...

    RRBBO13 Timeliner

    What if someone besides Schwinn built a prewar cantilever? Most of us here have taken an old frame and put new wheels and drivetrain on it, makes for a cool, nice riding bike. How bout a not quite so old frame with a prewar drivetrain? Or am I just being cheap and trying to use up a bunch of...

    trooper

    Finally finished a winter build off bike!! I will admit I kinda cheated and built a really simple bike, but I wanted to showcase the frame. It's a transgender Colson looptail, modified by Walker and sold to me by Danimal. Mostly modern parts, some stuff I had in the pile, and Thompson seat and...

    The trooper

    Well I'm gonna try again, I've never been able to finish a winter build off, over time at work, ice racing and a lack of heat in my cellar have conspired against me. With that in mind, this is gonna be a simple bike, mostly just bolting stuff together. Not really in this for votes I just wanna...
