Thanks @Pondo I am very happy with it. It took a little surgery on the head tube to get there. This fork is only useable in combination with short 4.5” cranks from some smaller bike I found years ago. Otherwise it is a major pedal scraper. When I was in Kansas, being a short crank one speed was...

Finally some work on Lamia. She needed head tube surgery to accommodate her new fork. It is a lowered design 26” springer from a long lost site I loved. Bicycledesigner.com. Just a reliable source early on for me. I pulled this fork from my men’s Hiawatha that needs a refresh of body work and...

I used these in my last build. Nice that they come apart. I subbed out vintage white pads for what it came with. Gonna look fantastic!😎

I would stay with enamels. The brand is not here in the Midwest us. Seems pricey for black. All in one paints spray heavy so more distance from the part and light strokes. They build quick. ✌🏻

They feel great in the hand tho 😂

Thanks @Pondo I think I have the bones of it figured out. I got the donor wheels and tire set cleaned up and filled. I hope they hold. The donor also came with really sun worn and torn grips, so I had to make a purchase @$14. If I want to stick to a $150 dollar build, I have $36 left to spend...

Lamia I picked up this Monark Firestone Cruiser frame for $20 in a package deal with a WCW a few weeks ago. I liked that it had a tank, which is something I usually have to make. The build was contingent on finding affordable bikes for parts. Luckily I came upon a Murray Sears 24” 3 speed for...

Both Facebook pages seem dormant and lack the ability of people to post. Rather sad given the amount of followers.

Question: Is the facebook page actively ran? I had joined and it seems I can only post something for sale, unless that’s where you make all posts. It states: what are you selling? I think it would be helpful to make announcements of build offs, and maybe reposts of builds and threads on the...

Thank you much!✌🏻

I bet that was great show! I saw X the first time a few years back. And they’re playing in a smaller venue that feels like a bar. Very raw old school feel of a show. We will need the recovery time. I start a new job next Tuesday and will need to be fresh. ✌🏻

Last night the wife and I went to see Kurt Vile. A great outdoor venue that we had not been to yet. We are wiped out today and we have X to see tonight. Farewell tour. 😞

A real favorite of mine!

You’re just going to have to go the easy route and build a tank. 😂 I got lucky with my step thru find. My first bike to come with a tank. That is one sexy frame! 💃🏽

That’s awesome. I appreciate knowing that! I put a lot in to that build. 👍🏼

Here is one I built for a build off a couple of years ago. Pretty similar!

I tend to build more of a pig bike than a muscle bike. I just haven’t brought myself to go with the smaller wheel up front. And I feel to big and a bit corny on a real muscle bike, so I like a 26” version.

I had this same Cranbrook that was my 2021 mbbo entry. It was my wife’s and didn’t ride it so it got played with. It was a skinny wheel build since I didn’t have time to lace a rim. Since then it has been chopped up and used for other builds. The Cranbrook is a great frame to play with.
