    Top Fuel Eliminator

    I present in all its speed and glory ! The drag bike that’s so fast you need a full fire suit and helmet plus a five point racing harness to ride it to its top potential ! Only the bravest and most dare devilish riders are capable of riding this monster ! Other riders like me who are older and...

    Curb finds

    Driving through town this morning I spotted these two bikes and a frog on the curb with a free sign on it all. Not really needing any more bikes, but the Cranbrook has steel wheels with 12 gauge spokes that I use a lot on my motorized bike builds. The Wally World mountain bike has some parts I...

    Well I decided to go ahead and join this build off, if for no other reason then to get some of these rusty bikes out of my garage/shop before winter gets here. So I’m starting with this girls 24 inch wheeled Murray Eliminator and am going to add top bars and make a boys frame. I’ll need to do a...

    Built me a wheel truing stand

    I decided to finally build me a wheel truing fixture. I wanted one that could handle several different diameters, rim widths, axle lengths, as well as tweaking a mounted wheel. The whole thing is fully adjustable and so far, I’ve trued up 3 wheels and it worked great. I probable should take it...

    Murray Eliminator

    Just pulled this out of a brush pile behind my neighbors house. She had died and her family is trying to clean up the property. Not that I need another project, but the wrap around chain guard and decent pedals caught my eye. Someday….

    New wheel design

    My son found this video on the internet and texted it to me. I thought it was pretty neat, just had to pass it on. Maybe someone here will build one.

    LesMiserable

    So after fighting a stiff neck for over a week and low blood pressure and a host of other problems I finally have started on my build. My goal is to make a gas powered, belt driven bike that will look like it came from the 40’s to early 50’s. The title for the build comes from how I feel, but...

    Donkey

    After seeing a post in the past about the “Donkey” bikes, and looking at my pile of scrap Huffy beach cruisers, I decided to build me one.The hardest part for me was finding a little kids bike with a 12” wheel and fork set. A coworker came to the rescue and donated his kids bike that was rattle...

    I saw this in front of a house close to where my mom is living. I stopped and asked the owner if she would sell it and she flat turned me down. I asked if I could make an offer, but she said NO ! pretty ratty, but frame was straight and tank was in great shape. It also had the fold down rear...

    Specialized Hardrock

    Sometimes it just pays to be in the right place at the right time. I seen a truck with a load of scrap metal in line at the recyclers and these two bikes were in the back, on top. I asked the driver what he wanted for them. He said take them, they’re yours, they ain’t worth much for scrap...
