Looking great, Carl! Your components all tie together saweeetly. Nice save on that frame too, the pitting adds character. Rat on....

Great fab work, Luke!

I came in late on this build off, spotty internet conn, not a lot of time to peruse the builds(or build myself)... I'm glad I found this one!!!! Awesome job on this build!!!! Total package is very impressive! :thumbsup:

Hey Horse. The Bendix RB2(red band 2) is a single speed coaster hub with one red band on it. The RB2 mark is on the break arm. There are other single band hubs with no RB2 designation on the arm. The internal parts, specifically the expanders are different. I took the whole assembly out of the...

I changed the name... :)

It's a rider... FYI, Bendix RB2 parts will fit and work in a RB shell. I had an old girls tank bike with the RB2 on it, the rim was wasted though. The BMX cranks are bullet proof and the chain ring matches awesome. It's a 44 with a 20 in the rear. I went to my LUBS and found some peddles...

Agreed! I'm a sucker for these unique frames... this is one of the coolest ones!

I started assembling the red band and it was missing the expander... I found some parts in my stash but it's not the same pitch. I assembled it and it doesn't stop the wheel, and the axel is bent. Gonna go to my LUBS and see if he has any parts. Have you ever seen an old Columbia fork that...

:rofl: Ok then... I wont even wash it... I like the name!

Good looking build! :thumbsup:

Mmm kay, I'm in... I bought this Firebolt on the bay about a year ago (I'll never do that again!). I've been wondering what to do with it and this build off came along. This will be a budget build Ratty Mc Ratter. I think I have most of the parts on hand. If I get ambitious I will clean and...

Me too, fellas! It just wasn't in the cards... I will finish it and post some pics.

Thanks, Carl. Yes, two separate and complete front ends. Don't even need a wrench to swap them out, I can change over in under a minute. Thanks E! Thanks, Crash! I can't wait to see it finished too, I'm a little concerned about meeting the deadline though. I got the first coat of primer on...

Thanks! Oh man, I had no idea how much work the mag was going to be... Thanks, Jake! Thanks, Luke. Yes, those calipers can be expensive. I found a deal on the bay though for two calipers, discs and hardware for 70$. It made it a little easier to swallow... ;) Thanks, O. I'll Post a riding...

Crazy work schedule and waiting on parts forces me to race to the end on this one. I have no internet at this time also. I will try to catch up on some of the other builds as time allows. These are the adapters I fabed up for the sissy. Here's the tab for the disc brake. It welded up...

Thanks for the input, fellas, I do appreciate it! I did get the sissy springs adapted for the sissy bar(photos later), and also have the pattern made for the caliper bracket done. I need to keep moving on this, I don't want to get backed up in the end... it's turning better than I imagined, so...

The mags I had cut were the larger diameter of the original. I marked and ground mine to my custom size. I didn't realize until I had already ground the mags and mounted one side that the other side of the rim(just 2 inches over) was larger in diameter. So, when I went to fit the second mag I...

Looking great, Wildcat! I'm a sucker for these unique frames. Glad to see you working through the little snags along the way!

Looking great, Chad!!!

Awesome frame! The forks look great too, and the Kenda is fatt. I like it! Glad to see you still in the build off!
