Update to the steel frame, it has an Italian BB not a problem as I have used 2 left side cups on it to run the crank axle, I've built a sweet single speed out of it, all I need to do is make sure the left cup on the right side is super tight after and before every ride, a cheap Italian BB is...

Poison ivy from way back

I used to ride past the colmans factory back on the 80's

maybe its just me but I'm seeing more builds with knobbly tyres on showing up, you may recall the early mockup of my Kickin it build was with 27.5 knobbly tyres which seemed to me to strangely suit it, just an observation

nice selection this year for the traditional builds, voted on quite a few in both categories well done and good luck

well guys and girls I've done all that I am going to do, I'm happy with it considering I wasn't really going to enter and then it was just a whim that I decided to, and a no plan, no rush, no idea build, lots of things happening along the way with work, weather, cleaning up around the house...

Found a crusted bell

The only cover that fit over the speedo workings

Yup I have heaps of these but with 4 holes, if you look on my latest pics you will see that I used two of them on the back of the crate, I flatened them out to secure the center piece of wood to to the crate as there was no lower support behind it

Against the norm I decided to do a rear guard/fenderI intend to find a rear light to put on the bottom of the fender that's flipped up horizontal

Makin it official with the naming done on the top tube

Thank you I think the champagne ends will always be utilized for rat builds and I like the clamp idea on the other end of the bar wrap so that will probably be a default option on rat builds too, plexiglass again a new use for me but most of us know it's not a new concept in automotive use just...

HhmmmmmI know what to dostash for coffee money?

Marked out the perspex, cut and place, I intend to some sort of cover for the edges like a length of small right angle or similar

Penning or paint detailing a whole bike is cool, my friend has an idea to engrave a whole frame
