Too busy today to take many pictures but here it is all masked up. Final detail and paint tomorrow morning. Going to paint the seat black. I'm still waiting on the white wall tires... really frustrating me that they aren't here yet. I may have to delay me departure until they get here...

Finally have enough progress to throw up some photos... most of the stuff has been detailing work like final welding, grinding and fitting issues. However, here is the keg with the cooler dropped in. body work on the frame. Fork parts being painted small parts order arrived from...

I will be there! Bringing 3 customs down to the cruise and hanging out with the phoenix phreaks for the rest of the event! If you spot me be be sure to say you are from RRB!

An interesting note on the new Gov'nor. I was talking with an bicycle old timer that used to turn the old Pashleys into mountain bikes. He picked up the Gov'nor at InterBike when it first came out and realized that the bottom bracket wasn't as low as the original Pashley. He didn't like the...

Took a break from the trike today to have a little fun. I put this together from parts I had in the garage. I sold my other big muscle bike and I've been itching for another one. the fork crown is an old manitou that I threw together to have about 3" of trail with the front raked out. Need a...

I can't decide if I want one of these or a long bike... yours looks so cool though!

Broke open the Sturmey Archer S3C. It's a coaster brake 3 speed and didn't seem to be catching when I was playing with it just in my hand. when I got it open I found that 4 of the 6 pawl springs were broken... that explains why it wasn't grabbing! Thank goodness for Harris Cyclery! Ordered a...

Anyone here would love to have that fab table in their garage! I move to often to justify one though... Bet it weighs a ton! How sharp can you turn? Looks like pretty tight clearances between the frame and the fork tubes.

That's funny... I started that thread a while back. Funny how bikes and beer blend together for so many of us. I'll post some pictures there when it's all done. Maybe some action shots :)

Got the tank sheet metal welded in today and got to work on the keg/cooler. I also decided to make the gas cap useful in it's new application...

I just checked amazon and ordering from Electra direct was cheaper and the shipping is free for orders over $50

Anyone have any old bike tools? With all the specialty tools out there right now for every company I'm sure there are some great old specialty tools out there. I wish this was mine but maybe someday I'll find one at a garage sale... Brooks!

I built this up after riding around a Guv'nor. I liked the riding position so much I had to recreate it. I also have a Raleigh Tourist that I really enjoy riding.

Just ordered a full set of these electra tires! Almost twice what I paid for the trike...

Bulk of the frame fabrication is finished... Still need to weld on the side panels of the tank and clean up the frame. Worked with the spring steel and cut it down to size but it had no flex with my body weight on it. Instead I'm going to hinge and spring the seat. I'm also dropping the tank...

Heffe, sent you an email... I think you still have my number. Hope to be able to bring some bikes down from the White Mountains for you guys. Looking forward to riding with you again!

The Girder is all finished except for the shock tabs and final assembly with the plastic washers. I also figured out a really cool location for the three speed shifter!

Bought steel tubing and welding gas today but when I got home I didn't have enough room to work in the garage. The remainder of the day was spent cleaning the garage and making room for me to work. I did have a chance to play around with the rake and trail calculations... these were done with...

Here are a few of mine... Super simple, attached with some conduit clamps. A hollow fiberglass tank... Tank with a Ipod Dock.

Decided to work in a girder fork to this build. Started to tack the fork legs together and get my pivot points worked out. Have to go buy welding gas tomorrow for all the welders before I can continue. Also on the list for tomorrow is the steel tubing for the frame. The last thing I picked...
