Haha, there’s everything on TikTok, the algorithm will figure out what you like real quick and deliver those things to you, the problem is, most guys can’t get past the “hot girls dancing” stuff. Once you’ve ignored that you can see some cool cars, trucks, bikes, etc. That’s the kind of...

I’ve been around enough of these and in enough of these to make sure I’m very transparent.

I was simply laying out what I did with the bike before the October start date, which was basically just disassembly.

This was the last day I “worked” on it in September. 6 days ago I started some actual work on it and all that is time documented on TikTok, but if I’m allowed to proceed here I will give those updates.

Here’s a thread from when I originally bought this bike back in 2017. https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/late-50s-jc-higgins.104293/

I hope you guys will allow my build. This is your chance to tell me no. I post bicycle build videos on TikTok and I had a few people request a klunker. On September 26th I posted a “test” video on my 1957 JC Higgins men’s bike on a local trail. Then on September 28th I posted a video of me...

I’ve been so busy with the first few weeks of school, I forgot about this. Haha If I had built the bike I built in my first build off (The 76er) for this one, I would have been a contender, but I just HAD to build a pretty bike.

It’s a nice riding bike, but paint is pretty beat. I love it but have had it listed for sale over a year with only 1 super lowball offer. The tall black Ross with green grips is for sale as well as the grey one with padset. No offers on either.

Yep, most dependable vehicle I own. I’ve been working on the 1947 Chevy some today, once I have it running and right I worry about the fate of the S-10

Hangin’ with the boys today.

Here’s to hoping! Haha maybe I should take a photo of the rust on the seat post or the rust in the stem bolt.

The stance on this bike with the knobby tires is amazing. It reminds me of an old Rockon 2x2 or old military off-road bike. Looks great.

What a great blend of parts. Love it.

Thanks. After a few years building for this build-off I just started using the competition as motivation to build more than a desire to compete.

Thank you. Last year I sold my build-off bike because I wasn’t thrilled with it, but this one, I know is staying in the collection.

Thank you. I’ve built both, but I’d rather ride than just look at it, no matter how cool it looks… Exhibit A:
