Hello and thanks for the positive comments. I did some more mock up today and changed a few things. I changed out the stem, I thought the other one looked out of place. I changed out the wheels, I could not get a good chain line with the other set up, this one is way better. I know that some of...

Hello all. I finely got to work on mocking up my bike. Not without a few hick ups along the way. My sandblaster let me know he will not have time to do such A small job as my bike parts ( after waiting 5 weeks). The next thing was, the fork is split, so today I just mocked it up and had fun...

Rum is good for medicinal - case in point, no one has every seen a sick pirate 😜😆

Thanks for the motivation Kingfish. I have collected a few more pieces. A NOS 27 inch rim set with a sturmey archer 2 speed kick back hub with a coaster brake. I do not know if they will fit the frame, it may be a good option. Also a flask and a brake lever set that goes in the end of the handle...

Maybe fill the kickstand hole with one of these

Waiting on the bead blaster I have been cleaning the shop and found some more hipster stuff. I will try to fit this crank and brake to the bike. I also may try to make this windy thing the speedometer. I also have been looking at paint colours. That’s it for now.

Kingfish, do you think they would sell if I painted them blue?

good looking bike Grant, I do not very often use drop bars but I do have a line on those wheels hmmmmm.

Now that it is all apart, I am going to get it bead blasted to make sure there are no more cracks. It is a good thing we have 4 months

Thanks Kingfisher, I had to let the stem soak for a few days and then use a few specialty tools to get the fork off

Thanks guys, the crack should be an easy fix once I make sure everything else will go together. The seat may or may not stay. The direction is to a modern day fixie style. But as we know things can change. I think this bike started with a 28 inch wheel then someone made a KLUNKER out of it...

Hello all, this years victim is a 1934 Elgin. The plan is to upgrade just about everything. I have to look at the parts pile to see what I have. The bottom bracket housing is cracked So I will Mock it all up and see where it goes. I am looking forward to watching all the creativity, have fun

1938 Royal Enfield

Thanks for all your comments. This is my second build off, they are great distraction from the pandemic and other news. Next year I think i will try the muscle theme.

Great buil, 50 years from now collectors will be asking “ Has anyone ever seen one of these”

It rides really wel, although it is very very heavy. I was not sure about the cast iron color on the mags, but with the chrome forks it gives it a hardcore industrial look. When I start a build, I wonder if the choices I make along the way will work. This one turned out pretty good. Thanks for...

Here it is finished

macncheese thanks for the link. Great info. I was going to sell it, but I think I will keep it for while.

The gaiters are just for show. I do not know how for far the stem goes into the tube, I would say not far as it is a short neck. Thanks for looking it up, I also had no luck.thanks

old race bike from the 80’s. Apparently it was an off shoot from the bmx world. I believe they called it formula 1 racing. Diamond back, hutch and haro made similar bikes. i can find no info on this bike. Please let me know if you have one or know of one. Thanks
