    Huffin'Muscle

    So what can be done with some "leftover" parts ? Here is one idea. Looks like I might need to build a Muscle Bike or at least attempt to. The frame is the Huffy I just used the fork from for the MiniVelo. The fork is from the step through frame waiting to be built into a matching "His-Hers"...

    Mini Velo

    Yep, just what i needed, yet one more build to distract from UpDown. I hope to make the trip soon to fill up the CO 2 bottles. Needed to continue welding. This build is for the Cole kids. As requested, and parts supplied. Mostly. A Mini Velocipede . One small enough that young kids can touch...

    That's Intense

    Hello fellow bike fans, Seen in the pic below in the 08 "Intense" race frame that was included in one of the pile of bikes for parts brought home a while ago. Since then I force fit a bottom bracket in place, rescued some cranks and chain ring that had been thrown into a scrap bin, picked out...

    Windy Willows

    Hello fellow bike fans, Windy Willows is the name my wife picked out for our place. We do get the wind at times. One mile from the Pacific, the wind can howl in from the north in summer, And the winter storms can blow the roof off, from the south. Only been here 3 years. We both love the...

    Back to the Cross

    Hello fellow bike fans, It's been just about 5 years since i was "interrupted" building this chopper. Today I took the time off of UpDown 2, and jumped back on the chopper right where I left off. First, i built the "wheel" to use on this bike, but have not installed it yet. That was about 6...

    From Junk to Clunk - in one day

    Hi fellow bike fans, Just posted this in the "Show me your Klunkerz", but since this was a new build, even with old parts, I'll post it here too. With a few more words. When I brought home the blue cruiser frame it was because of seeing all the cool builds here at RRB. This morning the idea...

    Another hobby or two

    It's easy to get involved with life if you live long enough. Here are a couple of "other" builds I have made in the past 15 years. The truck is named "Snowflake" by our daughter, back when it was painted all white. one tone Pete. Set up on an old motorhome frame. The cab is 1964. The hood and...

    Daydream Doodler

    Hi fellow bike fans, I like for my bikes to ride and function. Comfortable--my own riding position, easy pedal--gears or low geared, steer ok, and stop--better brakes. BUT. I also have wild notions of "anything goes" from time to time, and wonder (daydream) "what if ?" and "why not" ? Add to...

    Attempted Trike Buyer Beware

    Hi fellow bike fans, Uncle Milt dropped off a "new" trike to be fixed or maybe set up with gears. Only name on the frame is "Vevor". Never heard of it. "It's brand new" he says. I will say the paint is very blue and shiny. But that's it. No other good points. He rode is across the street, and...

    UpDown 2

    The idea seemed like a good one, wont know how good until we try it out. Here are two rough sketches of the concept. Truth be told, the sketching out of ideas to possibly try is the most fun for me.

    Built from through away and free parts

    Hi, This old Schwinn was dropped off by a friend, not much there, just frame and fork, no head set. Used what others had left off or given, and a few bits from the parts boxes. Wheels are 700c, with tires, left last year.

    RedGoose Tandem

    Hi, This is what happened to the back part of the DiamondGoose "funbike" after I used the front part to build the bent trike. Since I used the rims, and spokes from the Redline "funbike" to build the trike, the frame was hanging up next to the back of the Goose. Sure looks like a tandem waiting...
