So i picked up this Electra Ratrod for , 40 bucks last week. Pretty rough, but good enough for a daily driver. Today i had some free time in between two appointments so i decided to check the bike, give it a clean and make it run a bit better. Took apart the rear hub and the bottom bracket...

Just picked up this Ratrod for 40 bucks. Alu frame, 3 speed. A bit rough but couldn't let it pass by.. The guy said it was about 7 years old but my guess is it's a 2011 model. Not the original rear fender and the front carrier really has to go😅. A quick lube and a new chain and it will be a...

Hi guys! It's been a few years but i'm back building a simple cruiser. 26 inch front Wheel and a 24 inch back Wheel. I'm using a old moped forq and it's too narrow for the rim... I wanted to use a 57mm rim but they were not available so i bought 65 mm. The distance between the fork legs is...
