just some of my garage décor, some buried behind other stuff

bought this few weeks ago but since upgraded waiting for other to arrive, always looking for graphic stuff.

from my hometown here, dates to 1899-1900 from ads I have found

made the front frame brackets so the top wheelie bar will look like its still part of the top frame bar flowing back

messing around with the wheelie bar mounts and getting some brackets made for mounting, the rear of these frames are so thin I made a 1/8 plate to support the front that will be welded on frame and also provide the top pivot mount. Wheelie bar wheels will be 3" off the ground and my original...

now that have I a new computer is good to get some parts ordered in, couldn't find tubing size local so have that now 3/8 dia. to match rear frame size and .65 wall so just needed a quick drill to fit 1/4" cut off bolt just need to plug weld those in and got my heim joints in and found some 3"...

since I named this build Black Rat Dragster this Ed Roth piece had to get a makeover and will be incorporated into the build somehow.

Thanks Kingfish, I figured right away the long wheelie bars were the way to go but always mess around just in case, the width of this frame really spreads out in the back and wanted them to follow the frame which worked out great, for ride height bars may have to be shortend a touch I am aiming...

well I lost about a month working on this with being busy and a couple computer crashes haven't been able to order parts I need, so back up and running so now I can get some heim joints ordered along with few other things I need and get some heavier wall tubing just using brakeline for mockup...

OK no training wheels :whew: but the seat I think will work with building a custom seat post its 5" wide where you sit the bum so shouldn't be to bad to ride think its as wide or almost as a full size nanner seat and think it fits with the drag bike theme. not sure why the first pic wont...

would keep me from falling over riding back from the watering hole need to be moved back some though :rofl:

pulled these out of the scrap yard few weeks ago the little Schwinn had to sacrifice a part for this build :happy:

Yep thought about that also would be fairly easy if I go with this mockup style.

Thanks, I forgot to put in that this is a Columbia frame think it came out to a '64. Here are a few of the first quick mockups I did undecided on rear style yet and ran out of tubing to mock up more but I like the front flowing off the bottom bar better than the top and once a final design is...

I had this rim set setting around which I bought before the frame and thought it would be a great match to the frame with the skinny front. have been mocking up wheelie bar setup and front strut setup for front forks already also pics. later on that though.

Well I tossed around throwing in a second entry last few weeks as this buildoff was coming up and have been wanting to do this one so here it is, going to try to keep it more of a simple build but do tend to get carried away which I am going to try to resist :21:. I bought this frame last summer...

did patina of the chain guard/filler panels/fork to match frame, can also see some homemade brackets to hold panels and cables and a old car radiator cap that the bottom was trashed on so modified it to fit the contour of fender where I came up with the name winged moto and the tank welded.

I found some old pics. started this almost 3 years ago. started with a bare black patina frame and found black fenders that matched the patina of frame. 2nd pic is just mockup cardboard of tank.

If this is to far completed mods. delete. I started this a couple or so years ago at least and never finished it, dug it from the corner of the garage this summer then it got stuck downstairs and is buried again so now is the time to dig it out again and get it done. need to patina the tank I...

Bought this girls long wheel base frame. Thinking it will be a spin off of bare Bonnie(ville) for the wife I really don't like to do two bikes similar but thought it would be a cool pair for us to cruise around on. Already had the fork stashed away for a future build someday so hunts on for some...
