Hey ingola I have the perfect 28 inch motorbike for you . 1927 Hibbard resto modded this years ago looks like huge 28inch wheel bike but look at the wheelbase and how high I have the seat . I don't ride it hardly at all as it just doesn't feel right to me like it's too small . Check the wheels...

Thanks Matti I have been following ingola's build from the start it's so much work doing the bare metal thing but end result is so cool.

Hard to tell this is a gender switch nice work also really dig the fork very unique . Wish I could weld everytime I see stuff like this . Could really recycle a lot of old bike frames .

Yes a little colour works with these bikes and yes ingola it is certainly a man size bike . The seat isn't that low for looks it's a tall bike and you have to swing your leg over the rear rack with care as well. I can just barely stand over it . I only have one balloon tire frame that is really...

Thanks Kingfish it was pretty much the only thing I had to build . I think it turned out great and is a really nice rider as well . Had this girls CCM earlier in the summer I built it up for one of my neighbours . The big green one was the only thing I had left

Great paint job on this one . I like English bikes rebuilt a nice Raleigh for my niece .

Thanks Frankie it does have a sort of old Dutch bike vibe :)

Tough break on the rules you turned out a top notch bike but you got a cool bike out of it and everybody still gets to see your work . You only win bragging rights in this thing anyway there's no prize everybody gets to show there work drop some tips and get some ideas for their next build ...

It was crazy enough before those bars push it way over the top .:cool:

Here's a shot of a regular frame 1937 in the colour it would have been originally. I was right only came in 2 colours burgundy and blue . this one does not have the chrome wheels but has chrome truss rods .

Yes very large frame and I thought it looked kind of goofy when I first got it and didn't' know what I was going to do with it. It could of ended up parted out. But it was pretty much the only thing I had to build and it actually rides fantastic and came out pretty nice I think .

28 inch are easy as they are 700c very hard to find 26 in Canadian sizes and not much selection but you can get creme Schwalbes in 26x1 3/8 but no one will have them in stock . You have to be careful though as there are some larger British 28 inch wheels on some older CCM bikes .

They are 700x50 and fit really well in the past I have had to modify the forks to put a tire that big in and no way could you run fenders . Must be a pre war thing with those frames as there was plenty of clearance . Those chain guards are not that attractive but with a little detail work don't...

Thanks the one thing that I always thought about old CCM double bars from this time period was that the paint jobs were boring. They only came in a couple of colours dark navy burgundy and I think maybe a dark red colour with thin pinstripes that you could hardly see . And most of them had...

I don't like stretched bikes or recumbants but I like this . Well done makes me smile looking at it.

This bike is awesome . I've almost bought a wood wheeled bike a couple of times but always chicken out . I think I'm too heavy. Great job .

Your bike turned out great . Bare metal is hard man I tried to do it once and ended up just polishing the lugs . cheers

Like everything about this bike . Entered this style frame two build offs ago and bike did real well .

Been waiting awhile for someone to do this . Cruise the wheels off that thing . Been wanting a belt drive for my Van Dessel since I built it . One of my top picks for sure .

I love this thing looks sweaty and mean . Also like the paint .
