Man, that thing is kooky in the best possible way! Makes me want to cut up some of my scrap frames and get some practice welding so I can build something fun like that! Great use of leftovers @dropstep! Well done!

Very nice! Love the subtle flames you got going on! I need to do a gloss black on satin/flat black bike sometime. It's a great look!

Thanks! Yeah, just got to figure out which one(s) I want to build and how to build them!

Man, I've actually got plenty of step-thru bikes I could enter in this next Build Off! I'm even working on the digital mockup for this AMF right now! I've also got 3 Murray Flight/Spaceliner frames I've been thinking about building; one chrome, one patina teal, and one rusty brown... ...this...

Knocked out my digital mockups for this Schwinn over the past week. Even after my last physical mockup of this bike, I was still rather ho-hum about building this Schwinn, but as soon as I traced over it in Photoshop and got everything "painted" one solid color, I was kind of knocked out by the...

The Pensioner turned out awesome! Love the sissy bar rack around the rear tire!

Whenever I hear that tune, I think of a different scene involving a bike...

That Roadmaster is Old. Skool! When I saw the first photo, I was wondering how you linked a skiptooth chainring to a cassette wheel, and now I know! You nailed it! That really does look like a period custom. Great job!

That is one slick trike! Love the LEDs on the wheels, the paint, and the stance of that thing! I didn't even know they made fat tires that fat! Awesome job dude! Hope the Mrs. loves it too!

Another fantastic build! I'm always amazed at how well you create and match patina on your bikes, and this Hopalong Rollfast is no exception! Great job TRM!

That Motobike is a thing of beauty! You nailed the look with the fauxtina, paper tank, wood accents, and overall vibe of that bike! Great job OddJob, well done!

Took a little longer to find the motivation to mock up this Schwinn than I anticipated, but I managed to fiddle around with it some more earlier this Sunday. I tried seeing what it would look like with a pair of full fenders along with the flipped springer fork, but I still wasn't really...

Fantastic work as always! Old Hoppy there looks like a seasoned survivor! Well done! Is there a tutorial for painting letters and graphics on tires? Because I'd love to try my hand at that on a few of my projects some time.

Sorry to hear you won't meet the deadline, but at least now you'll get a chance to build and paint your bike without compromising for time.

I appreciate the sentiment Kingfish, but I'm out for this Build Off. Can't do much with the heat and humidity here in Tulsa.

Gosh that is one sharp trike! You did an amazing job reviving that Super Elliot, and you've got killer photography skills to help show it off that much better!

Thank you Bart! I didn't originally plan on making that X-53 into a klunker, but I'm glad I did. As for the pink wheel on my AMF step-thru, that's only because I had the matching silver rear wheel (and also the matching pink front wheel) on another bike I'm mocking up. I'd really love to use...

I mocked up my new idea earlier today. First, I used a narrower set of wheels to help pinch in the tires more. Second, and more importantly, I used a pair of 26" x 2.125" "Walmart whitewalls" I've been sitting on for a while. Not only do these tires have a rounder profile than the other tires...

The next bike I mocked up earlier this week was a bike I originally bought for parts I needed to fix up my grandpa's AMF-built Western Flyer. I actually like the shape of these earlier AMF/CWC step-thru bikes, so even though it was just meant to be a parts donor, I still figured I might do...

It's an incredibly minor mockup, but while I was picking up a few more bikes and parts from storage, I decided to see what this JC Higgins I got a couple months ago would look like with a chrome rear rack to go along with the one up front. Personally, I think it helps give the line from that...
