Oh yeah, fork is bent. didn't realize it until after I had painted it because I had it stripped to nothing the day I found it :lol: Oh well. if she ever wants it a different color I suppose after its stripped i'll bend 'em back. RatRod: Your traveler is super sweet! the matching grips and...

This was left at the dumpster behind my work and my girlfriend has been begging me for a pink bike. 1+1= happy girlfriend. This was also my first wheel lace up project! It had a 3 speed rear hub that was toast and she wanted a coaster brake, so I laced up a coaster hub to a 26x1 3/8 rim that...

PLEASE tell me where you found those tires!!

To the best of my knowledge they haven't produced that tire new since the mid nineties.. ebay maybe??

Thanks for all the nice comments guys! Stretch- Tires are 26x1.95 Specialized FatBoys and were bought brand new by my dad in the early mid 90's for a Schwinn Typhoon he built up. It was never rode until recently so the tires have very little wear on them. I thought they suited this build well...

simply gorgeous. I think we have a winner...

Kinda.. It was bare metal when I got it, so I threw that red on there to protect it. Then I kinda liked the color so I put one layer of clear on and it darkened it too much for my liking, so I started to sand it off. That's when I started getting drivetrain parts so I just started riding it and...

The details on this bicycle are awesome! the more I look, the more I find! Very cool!

Re: the King-Ray I like this a LOT! You have my vote! Now I want to do a 24" ray.. the proportions just look right on this thing. It's a very well balanced bike and the color scheme is top notch. Absolutely awesome job!

Thanks Mark! It's a blast to ride. Gear ratio is pretty much perfect. Ej599- That means a lot coming from you seeing as how you have the absolute cooOOOooolest diamond frame build off bike!

Thanks guys! I can't believe I finished a build off bike... :lol:

Awesome! This is kind of my "take THAT!" to the fixie crowd. Fat 26's and a coaster brake and people STILL ask me if it's a fixed gear.. :lol:

:shock: Whoa.. you must've been movin' to bend the front of THIS frame.. it's one heck of a sturdy front end. I'd be even more impressed if you were able to put a dent in the Duster. The only thing more solidly built than a schwinn bicycle frame from the 60's is a Mopar from the 60's.. I've got...

You decided against the slender wooden decal'd fenders?? I thought those were soo cool when I first saw this bike! yours is nice and clean though. very sharp.

Haha, I think you did, but no worries! Any damage done to the bike?
