    The E Bucket

    I had a thread for this that I was trying to edit and deleted by accident. So These are two before and two after shots of it. Im calling it done and moving on to another project while waiting for a few more parts to arrive for my build off bike

    The uGlY fIxIe thread is back!

    While waiting for other parts to arrive, I might have to join this and build an ugly fixie. A while back, I bought a matching pair of fixies in large and extra large at a garage sale. Both were stripped and one wheelset was put on a bike and given away. I still have this set and cant even get...

    I stopped at Ace On the way home and got my hardware issues worked out for the rear wheel, fender and rack. My bracket for the front of the rack didnt work so I have a different one in the works. The kickstand is at work soaking in paint stripper that doesnt seem to be affecting it at all, it...

    Since I dont get to leave the house any more for the day, I have to call it quits for the day. I need another hardware run to Ace to finish tidying up the rear end. As you can see the rack does not come down centered over the axle but Im going to call it good. Everything plays nicely together

    And for those of you following the E Bucket build, I tried editing the title like I did here and pretty sure I deleted it instead. I did it on my phone and it was so small, i couldnt read it well enough

    BO15 Ratcumbent

    This morning, I repacked the axles and got the puncture resistant tube in the front. I went to ACE for thinner bolts and washers so I can accessorize the hubs. It works for the front but I need even skinner for the back to add everything. In the mean time, I think the green and white combo...

    I didnt get to work on the bike at all today, instead I thoroughly cleaned my garage, through out a bunch of crap and made some much needed room. Tonight a friend texted me to remind me of the local cruise was tonight so I took a break to check out some really nice cars. I happened to spot...

    BO15 TIERRA CRUISERA

    The middle bar is interesting to me, never seen one.

    BO15 TIERRA CRUISERA

    I had one of these many years ago. I put skinnier higher pressure tires, a road seat and a flat bar on it. It was way faster and I loved it as my away from home bike until someone else liked it more and cut my lock. The aluminum frame is much lighter than most cruisers. Good luck with your build

    This is as far as I got today. I wasnt expecting it back so fast and the wheels are not ready to go on yet. I have some hardware tricks to work out and do more thread tapping yet. Should get a lot done this weekend

    I was getting safety glasses for work at the walmart in gilroy. I decided to go look at the bicycle section and there was not one bike in the store. Our local bike shop in Hollister is also sold out.
