Gonna build this bike anyway, so i may as well enter the build-off. Bought a neglected generic ¨marketing¨ cruiser with a decent wheelset and tires for 20E. The crankset is bent, but i have spare parts. This is how it looked (yuk): Better already: Gettin dark, sorry for the bad pic but this is...

Found a singlespeed-style bike issued as a customer gift by an unnamed company and decided to strip the cheapo coating. Rebuild with an antique french front-carrier, vintage japanese custom (brand) crankset, bew tires, pedals and a coasterbrake wheelset. The fork seems to be stainless, or at...

Painted the bike metallic-green on request and got it fit together, rides pretty nice:

Amazing transformation Starnger, did you lower the top-tube? Been a while since my last post, here are some progress pics, still in mock up phase. Added fenders, chainguard, crankset, aluminium rack connected with the old rack,s bracket, fork headset and bmx bars. The rear fender is made from a...

¨Never seen the mixte design applied to a cruiser and with curves.¨ This might be the first one..:happy: It came with a 28inch steel rim shimano nexus3 wheelset with drum brakes rear and front. Rather heavy stuff.

Hi there! Bought an ugly crappy citybike like this for 10E. But the frame has possibilities. The frame is aluminium, but the whole bike seems to be build with a complete lack of interest in the end result, for example, the crankset weighed more than the frame itself, no kidding. Why design an...

Let,s not forget this one from Marcel Duchamp: “In 1913, I had the happy idea to fasten a bicycle wheel to a kitchen stool and watch it turn” he explained in his lecture Apropos of Readymades at MoMA on October 19, 1961. Looks suspicously like the worlds most expensive trueing stand to me..

The seating position of some types of ¨recumbents¨ are very comparable to ¨stretched cruiser¨ frames, but are not recognized or seen as ¨serious bicycles¨. This is my Felt Leadsled frame in former condition, it was built explicitly for speed. It has 24 inch wheels, nexus 3speed and alu crankset...

Nice, but how about your coworker,s bike?

Applause to all the builders in this contest, only grownups cannot feel the love that goes into building a bicycle. It is going to be dificult to vote..

The diversity of styles is superb, and it is hard to pick one over the other. Congratulations to all who took part, too bad not everyone could make it to the finish. There are epecially some bikes i would have like to have seen in a finished state.

I always use linseedoil as a cheap coating and rustprotectant. Easy to apply, soft on the hands, just needs a few coatings every other weeks, but cures well in the hot sun and leaves a nice shine.

I bet the dog likes the bike as much as i do, and can,t wait to ride the sidecar.

Cool bike, what are the extra chainrings for? Are they attached to anything or do they roll in place when you ride it? And what is the second chain tho the other bottom bracket for? Excuse my curiosity.

Great paintjob, what,s the gun for? Instead of a bell?

Very stylish and scary, i always wondered what the idea or the advantage behind those bikes was.. Cool saddle!

Something for a KKK bicycle?

Beautifull, the end result seems so effortless, like it just came out of the bikestore.

Just thinking, with that almost flat rake what if you used a skateboard truck to attach the frontwheel.

Great stuff, beautifully matching chain.
