    Tight Chains and the Unfortunate Circumstances to follow

    Leaf Blade Fenders?

    Many newer bike manufacturers are making fenders with attached flairs. Electra, Nirve, and Micargi all have them in certain rear fenders. But the flair is located at the front of the fender. If never looked at them closely but it shouldn't be hard to swap them to the back. Maybe as easy as...

    Photo Theft?

    I have a 2009 that has maybe 1/2 a mile on it. It got hung up in the rack in April 2009 after a trip around town and hasn't been moved since.

    MBBO 2014 PRIZE POT

    Got an extra set of these that we fabbed a few weeks ago to try out a different material (this is some thin walled DOM...pricy stuff). Will send out to the bike that my wife feels most deserving. I will keep my opinions to myself.

    I'm just happy to have the bike really. It is a joy to ride, has gone countless miles, and is the centerpiece of the shop. My wife likes it so much that she has asked if I can build up a similar styled muscle bike for her as well.

    The Ginch....Class 1. My childhood bike found and rebuilt as I wanted to build it back in the early 80's.

    Frame Builders Advice!

    Most of my early builds were based on the stretched Dyno. I made a template of the important locations (neck, seat, axles, and BB). This was because I had one and it was set up for my size and was the most comfortable thing I had ridden. I would go (and sometimes still do) to the police bike...

    There is no Santa. But I asked my wife for a Radical Rick tattoo and a new chop saw. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    I'm offended with your trying not to offend. I will be in the shop "all elite like" if anyone needs me.

    ELITISM IN RAT ROD BIKE COMMUNITY?

    read my post above....My opinion doesn't matter. Once you start caring what others think you are creating elitism. Do what you do, ride what you ride, swap bars or fab a set on your own. Just be happy and ride.

    ELITISM IN RAT ROD BIKE COMMUNITY?

    Here is your elitism: Anyone can assemble a bike. Not everyone can fabricate a bike.

    ELITISM IN RAT ROD BIKE COMMUNITY?

    Clicks and elitism are a way of life. I thought it would disappear once I got out of high school but I was wrong. They are in the hot rod world, work, and visable with groups at the bar on saturday night. my two favorite quotes are written on the wall in the shop where I see them every day...
