Hi all, I realize my participation in these events is a little bit of a joke now since I never Seem to make it past the design and material purchase phase and into the actual construction. But i've got another design that i'm very passionate about. I've spent a ton of time tinkering with it and...

I had no plans to enter the WBO this year but this doodle from last year was tickling my brain these past few days. i decided to do a larger scale drawing and I'm pretty excited about it. It draws on my "Elgin Osprey" build from last winter and "L'Angleo" from BO 12. Its a full suspension...

I resumed working on this bike which has been in boxes for over a year now. I figured I'd better finish it before the batteries go bad or something. I had to gently squeeze the down tube to get this to fit. Luckily you can't even tell it's just a little more round now, It was so close to fitting...

Here she is!

I know I'm late to the party as always but this is a bike that I've wanted to build for a few years now. I've been working on finding the time and space to do it but I think I might finally be there. The concept is what if Elgin tried to come out with a dual suspension bike like Huffman and...

... Ok maybe more of a music video, but still. This was a thing I was so excited to put together while I was making it but for some reason it took me three years to make it happen. Oh well, better late than never. enjoy!

Hi, I'm fashionably late to this party as always but hopefully I'll finish one this year. Some of you may wonder if I ever finished Volo, sadly no, its been collecting dust ever since the build off ended last year but I will finish it I promise (I'm putting in a vote now for the unfinished...

Hello, I know I'm a bit late to this party but I do need to throw my hat in the ring this year. I've got a bike I've been dreaming about building for over a year now. Those of you who have followed my past builds will see a some familiar trends but don't call me a one trick pony just yet...

I was thinking my bike idea would be best suited as an electric powered vehicle. If i could ditch the whole crank set up it would make the design so much more feasible. It doesn't say I can't right?

Aight, So I know I stated that I was side lining myself this year but I can't stop thinking about and drawing up bikes I could build. The creative juices have been flowing to the point that I have what could best be described as "diarrhea of the imagination". These ideas keep gravitating towards...

Hi all, just thought I'd pass this along, I've been invited to show my winning Build Off 12 bike at this show. It's still a work in progress but I'll have there anyway if anyone wants to come see it. http://newenglandbuildersball.com/

Ok so first off a confession, This is my second build off entry under my Bikewhorder name but I competed in BOTEN under an alias (Waldo Jeffers) for reasons that aren't important now. I did pretty good, finished third overall even though my bike was a bit rough around the edges. This year I'm...

Heres a pic!

Hello, so this is getting off to a late start but I'm hoping that starting a thread will motivate me to throw a bike together before the end of the month. I bought this bike last year and as is typical for me I haven't hardly touched it since. Some of you may recognize it as a the (ironically...

Sorry if this topic has been covered on here, I searched around a bit and came up empty handed. I have a custom grip I'd like to make. I've been watching Youtube tutorials on how to do casting but I've never done it and was wondering if anyone had much experience with this and could steer me in...

Here is... more pics

I found I bike I really want but the seller has been dragging his feet about even taking the bike to a shop to be boxed for shipping. The bike is a whizzer actually and I really just want the Whizzer specific parts so a good deal of the bike itself (prewar RoadMaster) could be yours if you...

Hello, I've been watching this event from a distance for a few years now but I thought I'd toss my hat in the ring for the 10th running of the build off. I'm mostly a collector of antique bikes but I can't really afford the great bikes and I find myself dissatisfied with the offerings anyway...

Hi, my name is Chris and I am a bike collector. Most of you who frequent the Cabe will know me from my frequent snide and sarcastic comments on there. I don't venture over to this side of the tracks too often except to troll the classified listings. All that is about to change though as I...
