    Recumbents are like electric cars, People said they could never be cool. Think again, This is the Electraliner presently at Bonneville to attempt an electric car speed record. still waiting on the seat to be finished

    Tierra Cruisera- a made over Jamis Earth Cruiser

    Wow, that looks a lot nicer than the one I had. The blue and various browns really go well together. The shifter housing draws your attention to it. Being a contrasting color other than black or white really adds a very trick detail. Nicely done

    BO15 El Cholo bike

    The colors do blend together well. Much better on the eyes than the bright blue. Very nice ladies frame, I like the shape of the rear. The curved seat tube really stands out from the traditional shaped ladies frames Im used to seeing.

    I wanted to trade in my VTX for one of those, I like the style but they wouldnt give me anything for it. A friend bought one and I rode it for about 50 miles and was glad I didnt get it. The VTX is a much smoother ride. He also said he liked riding my bike better. I only have 8,000 miles on...

    Today, I was able to get the rear brake and both derailers rigged up. Im really glad I found the longer headlight bracket. The one that came with it was short and the headlight would have been right in the way of the cables. The wife went nuts when she saw me with the spray paint so I will...

    I got the headlight on today. Hopefully it is out far enough not to interfere with the brake and derailer cables. Otherwise I will run it without a headlight. Seat Upholstery should be done any day now. Im off tomorrow and hope to get the backrest shroud painted and ready for installation...

    Tail light is on. I was thinking Id need to notch the fender but chose not to. These are the panniers I will be using to carry stuff so its ok to stick a little above the rack. I have a few ideas of how to power it

    Can someone tell me what Schwinn this is. Never seen one

    When I was getting my build off bike powder coated, I saw a color similar to the original which I actually like. I may go that route but not sure about going original parts. Maybe if the right donor bike comes along, I may get close but I wont obsess over every nut and bolt

    After another lunch break at the wire wheel, I got the black mostly off. There is a channel on the back that I cant get to and paint stripper wont touch it. Im going to call it done for now and might try to strip it after the build off if it bothers me. Im going to try to get it on the bike...

    So Im curious, Has anyone on the RRB forum ever pulled off a 59 Cadillac tailight on their build? I have one coming and have a wild idea for it, Id like to see what other people have done if they have. Im going to notch out my fender a bit to make it sit right

    Seat back and bottom were dropped off at the upholstry shop today. Picked out a nice color combo and stitching pattern. Once they come back, I have everything else needed for reassembly. The kickstand was worked on for a little at lunch today.
