All stripped and ready for a new color and an exciting new life

Hmmm. I did modify the frame to make the tire fit. But it wouldnt stand a chance against the crazy stuff being made. Im ok if it doesnt get to enter, I thought about waiting for the muscle bike build off but want to get it done.

So I picked the color today. Its going to cost more than what I originally paid for the bike and will be worth every penny. It has to be sandblasted and then powdered a silver aluminum first and then the transparent green can be applied over it.. OH Im so excited Going to disassemble the...

The powder coater is back from vacation and Im going to meet with him on friday to pick out colors. So stoked to get the final piece of this puzzle done

If I cant find another nice donor bike, Plans are to strip the Green Sports and put the parts onto the chrome one. It wont be original but it will be nice. And its the only coaster brake three speed Raleigh wheel Ive ever seen So I wont use the front hand brake. The shifter will be the only...

That curved rack and rear fender combo screams Dragster to me. Do they make a 26 inch slick? I also like the flipped brackets on the fork. Looks way better to me

If I finish them both in the time allowed, it would be great to put both in the finished builds section. I look at other threads when I have an idea to see if it works or not. And I see that several people are doing more than one at a time

K It was supposed to have S4 wheels bit it didnt. The guy swapped parts around throughout a group of bikes and all were painted the same ugly color. The wheels that were on the welterweight were English. It is a 53 and was a reddish brown color. Depending on what the guy charges to powder...

Love your profile pic, if they made two big matching feet, Id be making pedals with them. In the meantime enjoy My 6.6, its a little too heavy, for a big balls ford or a 350 Chevy I saw Sammys car about 30 years ago at an Oakland roadster show. Its now up for sale

Im in trouble now. While walking back from the mailbox, I spotted a Nash Metropolitan in the neighborhood. Had to walk that way just to check it out. It was a real nice one And at first I was admiring how detailed it was. But then I found myself studying it as to how I could cut it up and...

WOW, How have I not seen this until today? Coolest home made build idea I have ever seen. Gonna be watching this. Around 2010 or so, I went to one of the cruise nights in Golden CO. There was a guy there that did something similar to this with GTO's. He bought a modern GTO that had been in...

Ratcumbent has been put on hold. I found a local powder coater to strip and recoat it but he was going on vacation. In the mean time, I started another recumbent overhaul in the builds forum. It is called The E Bucket. I am transforming a Bike E and Im having as much or more fun than this build

Im Sorry but I gave it away to a guy that needed a bike. His wally world schwinn mtb was beyond hope. I do have another set of the ugly blue wheels and blue tires that may end up on a Raleigh Riviera frameset in the future when I finish some other builds

My 74 Raleigh Folder that was welded straight and was my work bike at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk until Covid My 74 Raleigh Sports, bot have pedals off because theyve been in storage Next pic is all my bikes with kickstands Next pic is bikes without kickstands and the 66 Raleigh chrome frame is...

I wish mine looked like that. Very nice

The Schwinn Welterweight is in line for a Restomod rebuild and the Raleigh will become an English trike when I find the right bolt on rear end. Why? Because nobody makes trikes out of English bikes. The lugwork is really nice. In the meantime, enjoy this pic of the childseat. It found a home...

2014 New Albion Homebrew. Wheels off a Fuji S32 time trial bike, Brooks Professional seat and all terrain tires. My longest one day ride of 124 miles was done on this bike last September

2013 Salsa Vaya touring bike. Originally bought for a trip from Denver to San Francisco that didnt happen. Was just for a commuter for a bit till I changed bikes and swiped the pedals off it

Baskets are for taking precious cargo to work

This is my Easy Racer SC-1 lite. Its an aluminum framed version and is considered a LWB. 16 inch front tire and 20 on the rear. I got it pretty much just like this except I put panniers on it were it has collapsable baskets. It was not used very much and stored inside. I changed the pedals...
