Here's a thread to show off your Ruff Cycles builds. Reply with your pictures and links to your build threads if you have one. Here's mine... I recently put together a Ruff Cycles Porucho. It's not totally finished but got it where I could ride it to make sure all the parts work and to try it...

Just put a bike together that has shifter and brake cables routed along the downtube and I'm looking for ideas on cable clamps to use. Would like something vintage looking but will consider other ideas. The downtube is 1 3/8" in diameter. Zip ties just aren't cutting it. Let's see what you're...

If I want to run a one inch threaded fork in a frame made for a 1 1/8" threadless fork would you use something like these reducers? http://www.danscomp.com/309031.php?cat=PARTS# Or is there a headset that reduces?

Check out this new limited edition electric bike. Sure looks like a Felt frame. I don't know if all the parts add up to the $4995 price. But some of the details are cool. http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/05/icon-e-flyer-electric-bicycle/

I'm looking at the Sturmey Archer 8 speed hub but what puzzles me is that first gear is 1:1. On my Nexus 8 speed, fifth gear is 1:1. Someone told me you can set up the SA hub so that you get lower gears by clocking the sprocket differently. Has anyone heard of this? I like the range on the Nexus...

Anyone used the Monark Mega Fork? I don't know if it's made by the same people that make the other Monark repro springer forks or not. http://www.pistonbikes.com/Monark-Springer-Mega-Fork-p/msfmeg.htm

Project 346 has added a cruiser line for 2013 in addition to the their line of Basmans. The cruisers have some interesting details such as the bottom bracket mounting and running the shift cable through the frame. Might give some designers here some ideas. http://www.project346.nl/home

I got one of those Nexus 7 Electra wheels in the fire sale and want to swap the hub into my Basman which has a Nexus 3 speed now. The shifter cable that came with the Electra wheel is too short for this long bike. I've hunted around to find a longer one but haven't had any success. Can I...

I looked to see if this had been posted before but couldn't find it so here goes. I just watched this bicycle video on YouTube and thought it was well done and interesting and others might enjoy it. http://youtu.be/ZZtHFxIs6so

I don't have anything yet with a stick shift but I've been checking out what others have done and seen some interesting ideas. I fly a lot of kites and I use several different kite stakes. One of my favorite kite stores has these neat billiard ball stakes and I've got a couple of them and...

I just got a black springer fork form my stretch and I installed it last night. Problem is that it sits at a different angle than my original one so the rake is different and now the wheelbase is longer by about 3 inches. I don't mind the look and it rides fine. It's not as much rake as a...

I want to replace the fenders on my stretch cruiser but having a hard time finding ones that will work on the rear. The ones I've bought have a crimp up high for frame clearance but since the frame sweeps down on this bike, it's not needed. Only need the clearance for the chain. Below is a...

I put a set of triple trees on my bike and wanted bumpers to keep them from banging on the frame. Found some on ebay but they were expensive so I scrounged around the hardware store to find something that would work. Ended up with these rubber leg tips that are made for 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" legs. My...
