    Those tailfins on the light are the coolest!

    It Works, Man!

    It's not finished, but it's much closer. Here are some mockups. The final version will be very much like the bottoms pics. Like the clean look, but keeping the theme means it needed rear suspension and a longer seat. The laid-back post may have to wait for the next project or challenge...

    It Works, Man!

    For those of you (Kingfish254) who have waited for a followup on the saga of the crooked MX bars, I found a solution! A grinder (with a shield in place) and a bench vice were also used in the operation.

    Terrible twos

    Those stitches are a perfect touch - so ghoulcool!

    Glad you included the knothole - legit!

    Man, that's a clean machine! Love it

    It Works, Man!

    I loved the way the bare metal looks but wanted to push through with the Moto-Bike theme, so... This evening I'll clear it. Then assembly can begin this weekend. It's really nice to be at this stage! (But my next build will be polished steel with clear. I've been wanting to build a...

    It Works, Man!

    Ready for primer after work tonight. The next time I get one this shiny, it'll get a clear and no paint!

    Good From Afar

    Can you reposition the bike in the river pic so that you see mostly rock and the water is in the top third. Less distracting but naturally beautiful?

    Riff Ratt

    There's a lot of great engineering in that machine! Beautiful!

    It would indeed!

    Pleasure cruise down South Mountain in MD/PA

    Oh, it involves elevation changes! (We don't do those around here. :p)

    How often do you ride?

    I do 20-50 miles per week commuting to work on a pedal-assist e-bike (depending on the number of 4-wheeled errands I have to squeeze in, and am working on a cargo-ish e-bike to cut down on 4-wheeled errands). I do 5-10 miles per week on a cruiser/klunker of some sort for short trips. At least...

    What's a shuttle cruise?

    playing around with a knockoff GoPro

    Very cool. I've been learning gopro lately and know how much work you put into it. I like the shots of the unrestored bike and love those filter switches at the end. Oh yeah, the bike is restoration is awesome too! Feel free to share lots more vids like that.

    Mondo Shock

    That thing is just too cool! Well done!

    It Works, Man!

    There's progress! (Nothing like a deadline to ya moving) I cut 1/4" off the bottom off the bottom of the head tube - the fork fits nicely. The handlebar clamps are going to work. It's closer to paint - just need some more sanding, but I like seeing the original green. And last night I...

    CyCLo KiLLeR - Last minute details, and a teaser!

    It's probably not the route you want, but I found this DIY nanner video the last week and I'm thinking of making one for my buildoff bike. If you used a Stuffed Care Bear for the seat cover, it could be pretty cool!
