I told myself I wasn't going to do a build this year, and now you guys have me thinking about it all over again. Personally I'd like to do some frame modifictions. I've had this idea to cut the rear triangle off a bike and graft a modern swingarm shock set-up. One thing I am pretty sure of...

Nice! My daughter has one from about this year in pink, but it doesn't have a sweet twin toptube like this!

Re: Some odd ones- Muscle goodness, roadies All-righty, spent a few days doing as much as I could to these bikes. Time for before and after! Lets call this one 'Old Blue'. This is how I found Old Blue on Christmas Eve. I have to say, it is a pretty roomy frame! This is how he cleaned up...

Re: Some odd ones- Muscle goodness, roadies Thanks Jaydub! Yeah I have discovered that my cool tank won't fit the converticycle. :( So I have been focusing on the two banana bikes. Not too sure what I will do with the converticycle now. Yours looks amazing!

Re: Some odd ones- Muscle goodness, roadies UPDATE! Finally! I am on my way too see these bikes this week for the first time. It feels like Christmas... oh wait, it is CHRISTMAS!! Super excited about breaking out the steel wool and soap and water to see what we have here. I will update y'all in...

Nicely done!

General Hustler is my guess.

This is (almost) the exact bike I had as a kid. Blue Max were made by the same folks who made mongoose and a few other brands. They were primarily sold on military bases over seas. (Thus, hard to find in the states.) My dad was air-force and we were stationed in the Phillippines when I got mine...

Re: Went to the scrapyard and SCORED!!! It's BMX new school day! Some sweet new school action there! I found my first this weekend. It was in a FREE pile at a yard sale. An Intense Pro XL race bike with a full Sinz componants and profile widowmaker chainring. Saddly, it has no wheels and was...

That is a beauty! Nice score!

I have a Royce Union that is close to that too. Link to mine. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=40386 It is a sweet bike!

So great! After a couple years on cramped banana-bikes, I am keeping my eye out for a rail or a judge or something stretched out more than my knee knockers!

Someone told me the early freestyle bikes had both a coaster and a caliper brake for different tricks. The decade has the tab and my 84 haro freestyler does too. Any thoughts on selling the old fork? Mine is bent on my decade, and though it isn't an exact match for it, yours is almost a twin...

Thanks to the 5 members that have voted for 20-inches of awesome. It means a lot. I figured building a 20"er was picking a hard path to get votes, but I had the bike in my head long before the BO started, and just had to build it. I'd never done as much hand fabricating on anything. Even got to...

The Murray 24 was built with an oddly short top bar for the rest of the bike. Which can make it a bit cramped. But if you are use to a 20, you should be fine!

Sweet! I'd stick a nanner on it and ride it myself!

The first two sport were pretty easy for me. Mosby and MoFaux. Such creativity is Mosby's raiders and unusual and out of the box. And the level of painting in MoFaux- that thing looks like it should be a pro retro sci-fi movie prop. But there were sooooooooo many other solid builds, I was at a...

Re: Some odd ones- Muscle goodness, roadies Sure enough I sold the Fuji too. Man I am new to this bike flipping thing. It is pretty sweet! Selling bikes to put back into bikes+ take the lady to dinner. (Which makes her much better with the whole bike hobby.) It is a win-win for everyone!

Here is what I started with!

Holy cow I made it to the finish line! http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=61056
