That didn't take long!! Nice ride!!

The WD-4O is a cleaner/degreaser that I used for the gunked up bearings. The metal rescue is for rust. :)

Thanks Crash!!

In a class of its own!! A treat to look at. A twist of genius.

I had never ridden one before the other day, and I was surprised at how much fun it was to ride despite the low seat and the raked headset.

Looks great!! Love the layback look.

I'm glad to have this one done. It's one of my favourite bikes. I always loved that front end, and when I got a chance to own one for just $200 and some spare parts I jumped at it. It's also cool to have a bike that was born the same year as I was. I entered 3 bikes in this round and 2 are...

Well. I started 3 bikes in this build off, and two of them will cross the finish line. I'm happy with that!! This particular build took a back seat to Pole Position, but I still had enough time to do it right. The only thing left to do is add the colour to the seat which will have to wait for...

WoW!! Lots of amazing upgrades on this one!!! Love the muffler!!

Here's the finished product. I'm really happy with the way it turned out! Here's a link to my build thread: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/pole-position-tandem-muscle-class-2.104527/

Got a nice sunny day today and there's still no snow here, so I took advantage and got some way better pics!!

Pole Position has finally crossed the finished line. I had fun with this one, and my only regret is that I haven't had the time to document this as thoroughly as I usually would, and I haven't had the time to follow the other builds as closely I usually would. I made my own decals with this one...

Just caught up on this whole thread. Amazing bike!! Your daughter is one lucky girl. Mine in only 16 months old and I already have 4 bikes for her.

That's awesome!!!!

I think we're on the same page on this one. I need to find another stem for the front to fit some regular bars though.

The weather is starting to dip below freezing up here in Canada, but luckily I have my garage insulated now and it's not too cold working out there. I'll have the heat connected soon!! Started putting bits and pieces together on this one. I new for a while that I was going to use these troxel...

It's just a busy year I guess. I'm back to work and have a little baby at home. Bike building time has been very precious. I started 3 builds and I think I will get 2 done! Just haven't had as much time to post. I'm aiming for the deadline.

Just wow! I've been so busy I haven't checked this in a while. I'm going to come back and read it all very closely as soon as I get my bike done. Great work!!

Well.... I finally got the frame back from powder coat. I've been so busy with work, the garage reno, and my little baby darling, that I haven't had any time for bikes. But, tonight I picked up the frame, cleaned up the garage a bit and got the frame on the rack. The first thing I did was...

Nothing wrong with a straight restoration! Looks Awesome!!
