    New Ruff Porucho build

    Yes, but if I am not mistaken it has a custom made from scratch front end.

    Blue Meanie Mod's

    I am quite curious how it goes further. Is there supposed to be a second pivot point or am I missing something? Quite impressed with the chair cartridge trick.

    Columbia 🐪 CamelBack - ‘21 2n1

    I pictured such a fork setup with the main fork backwards as well. However I love the offset of the front wheel in your version.

    ROUNDING THE BEND

    I think the original design of these forks is somewhat limiting. I mean, the axle on your fork is in the middle of the rocker, between the front and the rear fork. I have a similar double springer fork and the axle is positioned under the front fork. However I quite like the design that is...

    🏁 LE MIRAGE - An update.

    Hey, say, could you provide me with a link for that axle? This is the size that usually goes with the cotter pin cranks, only this one is square taper, right?

    Bobber style Anyone?

    I have tried it, but with bolts and didn't like it very much. I had also bolted the pieces only in the middle. It looks great with rivets though.

    Rookie builds by veteran builders

    I remember that one very well. It had my vote. Visually quite stunning.

    Rookie builds by veteran builders

    This is basically the beginning of my journey, I think shortly before I discovered RRB: Yep, it's my electric felt bike, now the only thing that's left from this picture is the frame, everything else has been replaced :D Then this is my first BO entry: And then this is the build that...

    Countdown to build off 18

    Well, people usually go for cruiser frames as a starting point (class 1) because they usually have more pleasing lines than a mtb. An mtb also has a relatively restricting geometry to play around with bars and seating arrangements. But there have been builds, for sure. I think many of us have...

    You in with what?

    Lol I know the Abraham Linkage, but had no idea that it is called that just because Linkage and Lincoln. I actually always assumed that Jerry Springer is a dude that came with this particular design and some Abraham fellow came with the other design. I never cared enough to research it...

    Omg you are right. I remember reading about it in the news. But yeah, I saw them called that around here on RRB. A quick example:

    That's the type I mean, I have seen them referred to as Jerry Springer fork

    You in with what?

    I am starting to think "yes". I go mentally through my parts storage/junkyard and I have a cheap cruiser frame with bsa BB, that has the seat tube mutilated, so the seating arrangement might be a challenge, which I love. I have a 635 mm rear SS wheel that desperately needs to be trued, so maybe...

    You in with what?

    Since driving a fork lift is a huge part of my work I would find a rear steering bike insanely fascinating. I am quite curious about both the way you set up the steering and the learning curve to be able to confidently ride it.

    You in with what?

    This Dutch ladies frame is awesomely built up. Unfortunately I butchered mine to make a rear triangle extension.

    Felt cruiser

    Well, well. I rebuilt the Felt, which means I slapped back the electrics on it. I want a traditional seat position so I have put a regular seat post on it, with a Brooks b67, and lower handlebars. I did it shortly after the last BO, but haven't ridden it. I was checking the battery every once in...

    New Ruff Porucho build

    Pretty awesome build. I just rediscovered it while googling for Porucho builds. I think I will be getting a frame, but I am hesitant how to build it up considering the BB position. I want it on 29" wheels, but I am afraid that the front tire might hit my feet and I want to avoid short cranks. I...

    Motorcycle-style headlight, anyone?

    There are led bulbs that work between 6 and 36V. The headlight in the black Felt is converted to led. The bulb is in the headlight and runs a plus and a minus cable to an old bicycle lamp, which runs on 4 or 5 AA 1,5V batteries. (I could have connected it to the battery for the electric motor...

    Or remove the brace and weld a horseshoe in its place.
