So... As feared, the Onza brakes didn't want to cooperate... :blackeye: I couldn't get the pinch bolts tight enough to hold the pads in place so rather than risk messing them up, I put them back in the bag. I had this orphan set of Exage cantilever arms and went the easy route. Added a set of...

You're already off to a good start!

Now for a preview of tomorrow's show... I need at least one vintage part for this bike just to keep from getting kicked off of these forums... How about an early 50's B-66? Yes please! I had a senior moment at a swap meet last fall and bought this bag of NOS Onza HO brake calipers. I was...

Let's throw a few more parts at this thing... Shifting will be handled by this very early 6-speed XT thumbie. Coupled with this early XT derailleur, SunRace claw adapter, and twisty-tooth freewheel... How about some big brake levers to give it that classic bomber look and feel? While...

Added a stem from a 1983 Predator. I had an obsession with them a while back when they were still cheap. I bought every beater I could find and parted them out. I built a couple nice ones out of all the parts I had. I used a similar stem on my BONINE bike. I put the wheels on and drug it...

Well the downhill tires ended up being just a hair too big for the frame. The rear cleared but there was no room for error so I went with plan B... These were one of my favorite tires back in the early 90's and I had this set on a single speed King Sting. A correct pair for the bike came...

No problem spoking the disc hub to the Arayas... Everything was in good shape too. I have these big gnarly 2.35" folding downhill tires. They're heavy and I don't think I have the clearance on the rear stays but we'll mount one up and see... I have some fat tubes for them too. I have no...

Here ya go my friend! :happy: I'll use these as long as you don't charge me any consulting fees for the suggestion... ;)

The "Supreme" decals on the top tube are gold so that's a start.

Thanks! :) I was seriously considering saving this project for your klunker/bomber/big BMX build challenge but I couldn't resist the temptation of BO#10...

I'm on! Thanks!

Hmmm... I might be able to do that. I have some gold pedals around here somewhere. I also have my gold hipster fixie crank left over from my RRBBO # 8 bike but that might be too much gold...

Found a chrome fork with canti studs and cobbled together a headset. I always liked these lamp brackets that came on British bikes. This one might stay... Bought these wheels last summer. The wide Araya RM-25 double wall rims should go nicely with the build. This wheel came off of a...

You must have been peeking at my playbook... ;) That is exactly what I am shooting for! Love the early Sidewinders. I have four of them... Had one identical to this back in 1982...

I was thinking of sitting this one out since I'm still having fun with my BONINE bike and don't really need (or have space for) another one in the fleet. After watching all the cool builds starting to take shape and all the fun everybody is having, I had to jump in with something. This time I'm...

Wow! Great lines for sure... Add some little fins or taillight pods to that rack and you'd have something that even Harley Earl would be proud of!

Suburbans use 27 x 1-1/4" wheels and tires.

Good looking Subbie! My favorite color too. Emerald Green is what they called it. You're local to me. Want any more? I actually run across lots of those my travels. I have one in the Flamingo pink color in my collection...

They didn't make too many bikes. There is one in the Smithsonian air and space museum.

Vista canti frame. These were rebadged Columbias.
