Right. I've been here for 14 years and - to my shame - have never yet entered a Build Off. A couple of years ago I started assembling a bunch of parts to build a trike which had appeared to me in a dream. But then I missed the boat on that year's build and now here we are. So the trike is...

So my stepson owed me £90 for like the last eight months, so I levered this 1970s Carlton Cobra frame from him by way of paying off his debt. Wheels from ebay (£30) All the other parts were knocking around in the garage. It's a mash-up of Cycle Speedway bikes and British 'Tracker' bikes...

Our touring hacks. Daughter #1 (21yo) wants to go touring solo in Scotland, her mother insists that she needs some practice accompanied before she's allowed off on her own. So I built the above as cheap as possible to get on the road with her. Aiming to get rolling for a few days in the...

I just bought this for my boy as his first project. It was sold as a CCM Mustang, and it does indeed have frame stickers that read: 'Mustang', but I can't find anything on the web that shares this same frame design. I'll be very grateful for any help. Cheers, Mick

About 110lbs and nearly five feet around. I've been building it since April, it contains nothing but bicycle inner tubes - and it's gathering momentum as a few other bike shops have started saving their dead tubes for me. At some point we expect it to collapse under the weight of its own gravity...

Hey guys, long time no visit. I've been a member since 2006 but not been around for a while. Anyway, I'm in the business of selling bikes for people with disabilities here in the UK and I wondered if there might be room for a discussion about riding with disabilities. None of my disabilities...

... Which translates as Taurus 'Heel' - back pedal? Back foot? My Italian is poor. Ok, the basket is not staying, it's a Christmas present for someone and it was the best way to transport it. The plan was to fit a vintage 3TTT adjustable stem and flip the bars. But I kinda like it the way it...

Not sure if I like it but there's a heck of a lot of work in it! More images at: http://cyclea.over-blog.com/

I think I like it but I can't be 100% sure. Maybe I don't. Digging the twin rim thing for sure. http://autumshere.com/

This thing wasn't in my hands very long before I swapped out the old 4 speed Nexus for a NuVinci CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) hub. Here's the bike: And here's a slightly closer shot of the back end: So, I'm really just getting used to living with this bike and it's very...

No cruisers, no rats, no cargo bikes, no step-thrus. But there were one or two bikes which I thought you guys would like: More pics here: http://www.cyclorama.net/blog/cycle-shows/bespoked-bristol-show-report/

I've assembled quite a large collection of old (and some not so old) cycling images which might be of interest to you guys. Its on my Facebook account here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 02c0d94251 Enjoy!

The sun shone today - got me thinking about the joys of spring and my pride and joy, a 1995 Anniversary Schwinn Black Phantom. Mick's Black Phantom: http://www.cyclorama.net/blog/ramblings/my-1995-schwinn-black-phantom/ seen here in Klunker mode, hope you like it. I bought it in 1998ish from...

I'd be interested to know what you guys think of this... http://www.cyclorama.net ...of which I am Associate Editor. It's not quite finished and it hasn't officially launched yet so please keep it under your hats! :wink: :D Cheers, Mick.

Found these and thought they might be of interest. Not as stylish as American iron from the same period but they have their charms. I'm hunting around for a good Triumph Palm Beach but don't want to spend £169 (about $300!). http://www.thebikeman.co.uk/ct.htm

What's going on? One of my favourite sites, it seems totally inactive.

Still an unfinished project..... I've been looking at this thing for so long I just don't know where to go with it. I like these bars but I've also got some tiny ape hangers which would look very cool. Flame drop-outs. This saddle came on my old ladies bike so its a 100 years old, it had...
