I've been piecing this together out of mixed and matched parts, bmx, mountain, vintage, new, you name it, and figured it was time to post. I can't identify the frame but I'll post a photo of where the headbadge was and see if anyone can tell me what I'm riding.

I'm trying to work out a seat post that fits into a 5/8 inch tube. I think I may have to find bar stock or tube that fits and shim it out to fit the seat clamp, but I was wondering if you guys had any better ideas. THanks, nuts n' bolts

Does no one here cyclcocross or know anything about cyclocross? Is there some secret hatred for it? Please post something!

Does anyone have cyclocross bike pics they want to post? I'm becoming increasingly interested in cyclocross, so if you have any experience, please share. I'm thinking about building a cyclocross bike, either for fun/racing or for everyday riding. I'm imagining something with an older frame and a...

I realize I probably should have protected my friend's privacy. I have withdrawn the story about his bicycle accident. To sum it up: it was bloody and painful, but he had a sense of humor about it.

That looks lethal. But AWESOME at the same time. Excellent work. What kind of acid did you spray it with? -n n' b

I'm lovin' it. Superb. What are those handlebars? They look great. -nuts n' bolts

4 years old- speeding down a paved slope- hit a sandy patch and the bike went sideways. I landed halfway up a small tree. Ouch. My dad wanted me to do it again so he could video tape it. He wasn't kidding. -nuts n' bolts

Thank goodness. I wish Chainsaw a speedy recovery. nuts n' bolts

I found a website full of rat rod motorcycle stuff. It's a contest, kinda like our rrbbo's, but with motorcycles. Go to: http://www.dirtbagchallenge.com . It's rat rodding on a budget. -nuts n' bolts

Excellent bike. So clean. What kind of seat is that? -nuts n' bolts.

Re: Awesome bike. I had an idea for your shifter. Could you attach a hook to the frame so when you pull the pin to change gears you can hook it in the "pulled" position. That way it would be less "momentary". Great job on the whole bike. I LOVE the wheels and the shifter. -nuts n' bolts

Hi guys, Have any of you made mountain bike based rat rods? If so, please pst some pics, I'm curious to see what can be done with mountain bikes. -nuts n' bolts

Thanks. I made the tank and the brackets holding it to the frame myself. Sheet metal from good ol' Southern California Industrial Metal Supply. I put on a bmx seat post, little pixie bike seat, flipped the handlebars, bullet shells in the hand grips (though you can't really see them), flat tank...
