Been trying to get the tires to properly mount but not having much luck. Çleaned the tire beads up and the inside of the rim and they're still giving me fits. Got feed up and tried the only other set I have they mounted up easy but I'm not liking the look. So I tried to use some flex seal to see...

If I knew how to sew and had a sewing machine I would do it like a Motorcycle seat with some piping.

Having a ruff time trying to get them to seat properly have anybody else used these ?

Yesterday I got the frame and fork painted with ultra matte black sorry about the crappy pics. This morning while looking for a seat for my traditional build I found some black leather I knew I had somewhere. Not liking the brown stuff on the seat off it came. A lot harder to work with than the...

Today after working on my unlimited build this morning I grabbed the WD-40 and some 0000 steel wool and went over the frame and decided to do a mock up. Grabbed the baskets and fenders put that on the frame. Changed out the wheels with these heavy duty teal think they came off a step thru huffy...

I have the same cheapo welder seems to do a better job if you're welding something thicker where you don't have to worry about burning thru.

Kinda worried about the steel wool taking the graphics off guess I could just be extra careful around them. Do you boiled linseed after?

Something big enough for the frame is what I am missing. Will have to check out some kids pools I have a tote big enough for the other parts but not big enough for the frame.

Picked up this I think its a 58 Firestone 500 at a swap meet a while back. Nothing special but it's my oldest bike to date and the only one with it's original tank. My plan is to clean up the frame some put it back together and add at least a rear basket possibly one on the front. First thing I...

Most riding I do anymore is taking grandkids around the neighborhood or going to a park that have paved walking/ biking paths.Not many places around here have biking trails.

Took my grandsons out for a ride round the neighborhood today on the rollfast.

I say 4 kinda like 1 but the tank disappears into the stone.

Got the frame resanded and reprimed ,the stem and top of the fork sanded and primed today so they are ready for paint. Still need to get the chain guard sanded and primed and the tank edges routed primed and get ready for paint. I got the back rim painted black to match the front but need to...

Managed to get the handle bar cut and a piece of tubing inside that had a tight fit so everything was straight. Clamped it down to my outside workbench to keep the back and forth lined up and left a little gap . Welded up the gap but this cheap welding wire gives off a lot of splatter luckily it...

Not much accomplished just some figuring out.i like the look of the thicker tube handle bar but the knurling is in the wrong spots and feel a little too wide. Was looking at them tonight and realized that the stem is like a 1 1/4" . Each knurling is about 1/2" and if I came in the other 1/8" on...

That light is awesome and brighter than I thought it would be. The jewels light up is the icing on the cake. Bike is looking awesome as well.

He won't be welding long not using some sort of eye shield not good looking at with naked eyes.

I want to build a scratch built frame I even have a design in mind but lack the tools and probably the skills. I like watching these scratch builds.

The tape was where I was thinking about doing a two tone paint but I am going in a different direction now

Getting close to painting and I am liking the look of the bottom pic. If I could find someone who can draw out some flames it would tie in with the Electra flame tires I'm using. Almost forgot about a bracket for the brake arm cut something out drilled a bunch of holes close together. Then used...
