Banging out a rear fender. The goal is to make it look not perfect. like someone made it real quick in their garage a long time ago. This started off life as a 60s 3 speed fender. Like many of the other posts in this thread, I forgot to take a picture before I started cutting it up and reshaping it.

It is now a rideable bike. The chain doesn't fit perfectly on the much older chain ring so it makes a bit of noise. Other then that it's smooth and comfortable. This is the only chain tensioner I had laying around. It's not the best looking option, but it adds charector, it's free and it works...

Thanks man! Glad you like it.

Thank you Chad!

Being that I am not in any way an electrician, this took me a while to figure out. The light worked when I bought it, I just had to figure out a power source. I used 2 LED flashlight battery packs and the button from one of the flashlights. The ends are modified PVC irrigation caps, and the...

It's looking like a bike. I found all the inerds for the bottom bracket and fork in my garage, one of the perks of hoarding bike parts. Also found a way better set of handlebars. They look like they came off of an old Asian bike.

I needed a seat post that would allow the seat to go back far enough for the average adult to be able to ride the bike comfortably. It started off as an old mtn bike stem and with some cutting and grinding it turned into the main structure for my seat post. The other pice is a section of an...

I wanted something a little different than the average Balloon tire seat. This vintage wide Brooks is perfect. It's reminiscent of an early motorcycle seat and it matches the patina of my bike. I put three different types of leather preservatives and restorers on there so it should be good to go.

Thanks man! Please do.

Thanks Luke!

Thank you Luke!

It's a little worse for ware, but it's one of ma favorite finds so far.

Thanks you!

Thank you, I just posted a bit of an intro. Really enjoying the site so far.

Hey everybody, I'm Hunter. I'm in Phoenix, Arizona. I buy, sell, trade, restore, and most of all collect everything antique, but I really like old bikes. When I have extra money laying around Some of it inevitably goes toward a bike. My latest project is the bike I'm entering in the build off...

Very cool!

Thanks man!

She's a roller. I got the headlight mounted. The truss rods are from the same bike I took the wheels off of. They were way to tall so I decided to get creative in making them fit. I think they turned out pretty cool. Those handle Bars are definitely not staying on there.

I know I'm late to join. I think I will make it.

I made a sacrifice and pulled these wheels off another project I was working on. They look better on this bike. I got the rear cog replaced with a skip tooth one And the front hub axel replaced with a thinner one so it fits in the old fork.
