    Transformer finished 5-11

    Here is my bike that I am entering into the build off. This is my first attempt at a build off and also the hacking of a frame! :D This one will be built for my son to ride because he would like to have a 50's style bike like mine. Boy's bikes in the 50's are hard to find down in the south so I...

    Country Boy (Green & Yeller)

    Here was my first attempt at a total restoration. It started out as a badly weatherd Western Flyer repop, it was sandblasted down to the metal to remove the rust and covered in green. :lol: Then cleaned and painted some S2 rims wrapped in a slick for the front and knobby on the back. Then came...
