Please tell me that ottoman is going to find it's way onto the trike! :lol:

Bettleguise, I gotta say, I like this bike. The colors are great, the striping is awesome, the fenders and chainguard are beautiful, and the details like the drum brake and chainguard really set it off. So my one question is, what's the deal with the seat? BTW, the black tires work great - .......

Hey Kingpin, I've actually been thinking about doing something like that for a while too. It seems like every kid who "outgrew" his bmx or freestyle bike around my neck of the woods decided to get a fixie instead, and do barspins on that. Maybe 30 year old fixie freestylers are the new mid...

Beginning at the beginning- it's all there! Lotsa tape- Lotsa gunk, some rust, a real alleycat- I picked up this Gitane for a build that never panned out. The combination of worn parts, French stuff, and a bent fork conspired against it. But, it's a cool color, and it's got a lot of good...

If we're buildin' one "for the ladies", I'm in for it too. It'll get me out from behind the computer!(..and then back behind the computer..)

That bike is f'n amazing! What did it look like before? The hammered fenders are great, and the racks are awesome too. I'm kinda dying to try out a set of guidonnet brake levers on drop bars, although I think they're supposed to point forwards on drops (to give you braking from the "tops" of the...

maybe think.. Kamm tail?

I am digging this build already. Maybe when you're done, you can motor-pace some stayer competitions?

Hi Thom, I was in the same boat recently, I hadn't ridden drops since high school, and I still ride mostly upright bars. However, they do give you lots of good options for positioning, especially if you ride distances. I had good luck setting them up to have to tops of the bars a little...

Working on a snow bike today. Looks like we've got 8" here! :shock: I've done this every other year or so for a while now, so I think we're up to "The Snow Cat: Mk IV" The first was a Ross ten speed frame with 26" cruiser wheels and knobbies, that was ridden in a blizzard a couple miles. It was...

hey folks, I'm thinking about trying to fit triple trees on a modern mountain frame I've got lying around. It's got a 1.25" threadless headtube arrangement, and I'm wondering if the forks from an OCC or similar would work. (It'd be kinda nice to maybe steal the cranks off one as well.) Anyone...

Hi Kevin, and welcome. I will also work with bikes from THE 80's (shudder?) Any Favs?

Thanks fellas. Markm, that's an Olympian allright, I've had it since high school. This is its third incarnation, the first being stock- the way my cousin bought it, the second being a touring/cross kinda bike with drop bars and knobbies. That incarnation was ridden hard and put away wet (and...

Howdy, Worldwide Rats! I've been perusing the board for a few weeks now, enjoying the amazing bikes and community you've created here- so I wanted to say hi :) I'll try to get some pictures uploaded of bikes I've built. Most of them have some similarities- practical, rideable, and if you are...
