    I know what you mean In Canada we don't have a lot of the cool stuff thats in the States either and shipping is expensive here as well . Not a lot of double bar stuff I'm mostly building English style 28 inch 700C pathracer stuff with fat tires . I've never entered anything with an American...

    Thanks Kingfish I think it turned out great considering it started out as a bent frame headed for the scrap heap . I paid $25.00 for the frame crank and fork the rest I had in the parts pile and wanted to clear up some space . Will probably sell it now that its done . But it is the best riding...

    Other bikes built during the build off?

    I bought this one and I don't know if I would call it a build . Went through it cleaned and rebuilt rear hub so it would stop . Had to replace the non drive side crank arm on the triplex cranks . Changed out the fenders for a set of NOS fenders that I already had . Bought a set of Truss rods...

    What's in a NAME ?

    My Bike has Garry right on the head badge . When I looked up ethnic origins it said German and Irish like me . Leprechaun came from the color I was going to use and the clover leaf chain ring . Naming the bike and the photos are always the hardest part for me . I've played in a ton of bands...

    Tried a fountain shot still couldn't get the color right . As I was wheeling up to the fountain a beautiful tall brunette supermodel had just finished shooting some photos. She was wearing a sequinned Green dress . I tried boys and girls but she didn't want to be in the shot . I saw her later...

    Bike is finished just gotta shoot some good photos Here is the only gizmo on the bike . I needed to put on a reflector and have a set of these old hologram muscle bike ones . Very hard to photo these but gave it a shot . Its a bat and depending on the angle you are looking at the wings flap and...

    New Brooks B72 for your old..

    I made this top and attached it with screw together rivets from a luggage and shoe repair shop Brooks also stretches there tops on with a hydraulic ram to get the tension on the leather . They also won't sell you a new top which is why I made my own
