    Alot heavy...but much of the equipment is for stationary use. It'll all unbolt in sections. The really heavy gear is up next. :)

    Cool! Thanks! How this bike actually winds up looking, I really couldn't guess...I'll add and subtract doodaddery to it until the final day I'm sure...;) It won't look like a chopper, or a custom or probably any one style in particular...(might have a bit of those things thrown in) It will...

    Got my first chain on. Came up with a drop out for the 2 speed kickback on the fly...works just fine! I'll add a bunch of gussets and plates to mach sure the thing is bombproof. I have a weld on sprocket on the way that goes up against the flange on the other side of the hub and then back to the...

    Thanks! Will be sorta piratey I'd guess.. The wrought iron is tacked in presently and will almost certainly be moved to another part of the build eventually. There will be Alot going on with this before it's done...pulling in the steam punk vibe, but also plan to rif off of the great French Rat...

    Bottom bracket, seat... probably temporary and some decor. Next up, the rear hub and linkage to the shaft...might have to order a few parts.

    Redline Squareback 26 bmx tribute bike

    I like it! Here's a funny thing...I had a chrome (nickel?) Square Back when I was a kid. Wound up trading it away for an FMF (which I promptly broke on a jump..) and then moved on to early Mt. Bikes..(this was around '82). Anyway, I heard awhile back from a mutual friend that the dude I swapped...

    Posting in the Ghost Town! :) Oh well, too bad I didn't have at the very least a week to spare a couple weeks back...would've loved to kept going on this in the BO. Never would have finished though... So, I've been building this bike in my head for months and it's cool to finally see one of my...

    Oh yeah, here's a pic of the tube extension. Only thing I had around to slip in there was some threaded rod... And, note to self and any other tube extenders out there! Cut the tube further down from the threaded end....got very lucky that I was able to get a stem in this! The Prewar Deco stem...

    Extended a steer tube and fitted it all together. Fork, front wheel and fender are probably temporary... I've got another motorcycle wheel and a cool tire for the front and I'd like to make a sweet extended springer fork for it. Very cool that this fork and wheel fit and the rear end sits level...

    Great job! Pretty cool to put an awesome scratch built bike on the road in such a short amount of time

    As you might guess, now that the BBO is done I finally have a little time to work on my bike...:) Still hoping we'll have another anything goes BO this winter, as I do suspect it'll take me at least that long to do this... So, what I've managed to get sorted out...the rear axle and wheel...

    Workman Cycletruck

    Thanks for above... The asking was $275 and it has a rather cool basket. I'll go back and see if it's still there...truth is, I don't need another cycletruck kicking around. Just thought I'd see if it was too good of a deal to pass on

    Workman Cycletruck

    Local antique store has a Worksman Cycletruck for sale. Pretty decent condition...just curious if anyone has any idea of what a good price for one of these is?? Photos later if I can get some
