I picked up this sweet Gary Fisher Sugar 292 with a few upgrades back in spring. This thing is pretty impeccable and I love the Bass-boat paint! Just wanted to show it off now that it is all cleaned up and put back together. Do you guys think a 2003 is considered a vintage bike or is it too new?

I do some grouse hunting up in Shawno, went to college at St. Norbert up by De Pere. It's a beautiful area!

Thanks everyone! I a really happy with how it turned out! Captain Awesome, I am in Wisconsin, I live near Lake Michigan a short ways from Brillion.

Finished my first RRB build off bike today. The bike isn't old, Schwinn Signature S1 that was a retired campus bike. I added the fauxtina paint job and handlebars with an Electra beer bell. The crate on the back is from the Brillion Bottling Company in Wisconsin and was finished with boiled...

Finished up the bike today and took a few glam shots!

Gonna be putting some different tires on this weekend along with a few of the finishing touches. It's coming along great, just wish I had more time between traveling and interviews. The life a college graduate I guess lol

Started to re-assemble today, was able to get the paint done last week and totally forgot to take a picture. I wound up using boiled linseed oil to finish the paint. I wasn't originally planning on putting the white walls and heavy duty rims on this bike but I really am liking the look. We'll...

Hey everyone, I picked up a Sears Spaceliner a few weeks back and was wondering if anyone had tips for polishing it up. There is no major pitting just a lot of surface rust and some weird yellowish looking stuff. Maybe a clear coat or something? Anyway I'm trying to glam it up a bit after...

Well after being out of town for a couple weeks I was finally able to prime the frame for paint! Good news is I found some cool bars for the bike. Just gotta clean them up. It's coming along!

This bike looks pretty rad! Nice job!

A couple people were asking about my red chopper build. Finished it last summer before I got involved with the RRB group, and I don't have a lot of pictures of the process. Found it at a garage sale with an engine on it and over-spray all over the bike. It looked like total junk, but was sound...

Well I don't wanna make it quieter I want to put an MZ65 pipe on it but they are pricey lol

It's pretty darn loud with that pipe. I wanna get a better quality one but I've stuck enough into it at this point lol

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll start a thread on the red bike when I find the best place to post it on the forum! Keep the rock puns coming they are pretty gneiss.

Howdy all! I kinda messed up and started posting in the build off first, didn't see the intro page. I've been following the FB group for a while and got into building bikes my Junior year in college while studying geology. It all started with a goal to build a clean 2-stroke cruiser which lead...
