thanks for the info, according to email my engine shipped out today, can't wait!

planning on motorizing one of my builds, i've done some research and pirate cycles appears to have good customer service and reasonably priced parts but i can't reach them through e-mail, anyone know if these guys are still in operation?

i'm in seaford

Re: POST PHOTOS HERE FOR THE GALLERY PAGE don't know if these qualify as "rat rods" but I built them myself using a bunch of junk I found laying around and mostly used parts

thanks, i'm working on a mountain bike frame right now

Hi, I'm new to building bikes (this site was a huge inspiration) but i've been riding my whole life, I included some pics of the first two I built, "Agent Orange" and "Dutch" i built these out of junk parts I found laying around (weeds, ditch) a couple of $5.00 auction finds and a few ebay...

k, thanks i'll give it a try after work tonight and let you know (i got plenty of mountain dew cans)

i just sanded down the chrome and painted a set of crusty "apes" i found, i put them on my bike but after tightening with all my might i can still move them around inside the gooseneck, i really wanna use these bars (i'm broke) but they won't stay tight, any ideas, maybe some kind of homemade...

hi, i did the same thing on my bike, i couldnt get the bars to fit so i took a "grinding"? bit and put it in my drill and reamed the crap out of the top of the neck, i thought i would need to use longer bolts too but by the time i got done it fit (and works) just fine, if you need me to post...

hi i'm new here, i just bought a set of wheels with 14mm axles (for a 3/8 frame) and i couldnt figure out a "cool" way to make them fit without tearing them or the frame up, looks like i found a way, thanks!
