    The next build off? Plans for the future

    The Japanese know how to bring the funk. — Captain Awesome. I had to quit searching for the night. There's just so much out there. It quite amazing. This is supposedly a NOS 1969 Murray F3 Eliminator. Many muscle bike paint jobs are basic fades. The paint type and brilliance along with decal...

    The next build off? Plans for the future

    That's a rather odd question Matti. The answer is it remains original until it's modified. The same applies to copies. To what extent something is altered where it no longer fits its original class is up for debate. Ultimately it's the admins decision what class a bike belongs to. My view of...

    That's sweet Matti. I like those rad bends. Road and TT's have some of the most beautiful pain jobs I've ever seen on bicycles! Regarding the finish of muscle bikes. By the late 1970's most muscle bikes from the 60's where I grew up in NYC were parted and turned into beaters. I mean multiple...

    '68 Sting Rat

    The best of old and new tech in the same wrapper. Love to see the two get it on. 68' Sting Rat vs 70' Gremlin TT. :cool2:

    This is Rat Rod Bikes hun, respect. I never saw a hub mounted to a wheel with nails before either. Whether he did it for views or not, it's ghetto. Carl's post made me curious. Discs on bicycles are predominantly used indoors. Some claim there's a flywheel effect advantage from a heavy disc...

    for real? or strip down a Schwinn fastback slap on a set of old Tioga Comp lll 20x 1-1/8"tires, enter any class. Definitely going to be one of the more fun build offs for gamers:p

    The next build off? Plans for the future

    That's not particularly great advice for bike building junkies. I couldn't wait, I had to get it on! Hub swap, cable up and I'm out! We need to get some speed builds up in this mug. Plan A Plan B If someone Nostradamus'd me in 2017 and said my go-to would be a 20'' Stingray in 2022, I'd be...

    Thanks for the mention. Exquisite job building out of an apartment. We could see your persistence, accomplishing new things. It was my pleasure providing a hand to keep you moving along. You put in the work from go and it paid off. I enjoyed observing your processes while making a beautiful...

    What have you been riding lately?

    Say that's a nice bike. How far are you from the NY border, Brewster in Putnam county? I practically live on the Empire State Trail. Ride often, around 40 a day. I just turned 52. Happy belated B-day. Perhaps we could meetup for a nice ride. Let me know 🚴‍♂️ The Cathedral of Saint John the...

    How about you vs me on bicycle? Oh, and don't forget the most important thing. . . BBQ

    Chimera BMX

    The Chimera is a straight-up street BMX monster. You don't strike me as the sort. It's not a cruiser or great off-road. Where money is no objcet, it's no-brainer. One person I know who is also fixated on the bike bailed when the prices dropped. The bike's worth a stretch for me. I'm pretty...

    Chimera BMX

    My friend who's 6'1'' has similar concerns. Yeah, not a bike to be left unguarded. For me it's the titanium design and size. I'd use if frequently. I was just comparing the other day what I'd lose/gain against a non-powered bike. It'll give me the same workout with greater range without...
