    Rust Never Sleeps

    This was going to be my build off bike from last year, but I ran into some headaches trying to build the forks I wanted so I set it aside rather than do a hack job on them. A while back I was looking at the bare frame in my garage and I figured I would try something I had always wanted to play...

    My wife's new ride- '66 Schwinn

    This one was easy- take it all apart, clean and regrease everything, throw some new tubes, tires and a chain on it and call it done. I got this for her because it was born the same year she was. I thought she would want me to strip it down and repaint it, but she said "I kinda like the old rusty...

    1977 Stroker II

    My latest restoration, a '77 Two Wheelers Stroker II. This is the bike I wanted when I was about 14. At the time I was racing a modified Schwinn Sting Ray and I wanted an orange Stroker soo bad. It took a few years...35 to be exact, but I finally have my orange Stroker. :mrgreen: Parts...

    Broke out the airbrush...

    ...for the first time in quite a few years. Every year my kid's school holds an auction to raise money for the graduation dance and upgrades to the school, and I got drafted to come up with something interesting to auction off. We took an adirondack chair and I airbrushed a beach scene on it...

    Lady in the lake

    While I was busy feeling sorry for myself for not finishing my build-off bike, my sister asked me if I could build something new for her to cruise to the beach with her friends. I built her a beach cruiser that matched her Harley a couple of years ago but lately she's gotten into the rat rod...

    One day build- Schwinn Runabout

    I've been pretty bummed out lately about the total lack of progress on my Build Off bike, so I figured I'd step away from it and play with something else. I had this rusty and neglected Schwinn Runabout 10 speed sitting in the backyard, so I pulled it out of the weeds to see what I could do with...

    MOTIVATOR

    Here's my entry for RRBO#7, the "Motivator". It started life as a Motiv beach cruiser from Costco, hopefully I can make it earn a little more respect. I have no idea at all what parts or theme I'm going with...kinda like every other bike I build. :mrgreen:

    What do I do with this one?

    Just scored this cruiser frame and fork from a buddy of mine...now what? BMX style cruiser, klunker, board tracker? Shoot me some ideas :mrgreen:

    This rotten kid...

    ...this smart-aleck, skateboarding, bmx bike riding, nose picking kid... ...just got inducted into the National Junior Honor Society, and I couldn't be more proud of him.

    Simple chopper

    This one was pretty easy and way cheap. I found an old Ross mountain bike frame and fork and cut the frame down and rewelded it with a bit of rake. Chopped the ends off the forks and welded some conduit to them, along with some dropouts I made out of scrap steel. Between the conduit and the...

    No more Bikerodnkustom?

    I know that Jim Wilson passed last year, but I thought his family was going to keep BRnK going. I had been checking it a bit to see if there were any updates, but I hadn't been there in a while. Does anyone know if the family has any plans to bring it back? That site was an amazing source of...

    Schwinn Racer military build

    I've had this old Schwinn kicking around for a while and I really like some of the military builds that you guys have done, so I guess I'll do one of my own. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Tear down!

    What do you do with a Walgoose?

    This. I built this for our last Freakbike Militia ride. The wheelie bars are functional. And necessary. :mrgreen:

    This is insane riding at it's best.

    Danny McCaskill has amazing balance, Martin Ashton has tons of finesse...this guy is just a beast with huge cojones...and a ton of skill too. http://propsbmx.tv/videos/detail/Props- ... 5762286001

    Hybrid theory

    My 11 year old wanted to go mountain biking with me, but all the 24" mtbs we looked at were absolute junk...so we made one. I took a late 90's MCS Hurricane mini bmx cruiser and fitted a set of mtb forks to it. Since the MCS has a 1" head tube I had to swap out the 1-1/8" steerer tube on the...

    Trash day pick ups.

    Found these two curbside, the Schwinn right down the street from me and the Raleigh one neighborhood over. The Schwinn has a bent derailleur and a tacoed front wheel...the derailleur will be an easy fix, not so sure about the rim. The Raleigh looks to be in good shape other than needing...
