Yeah it is a little different being tucked in with clip on's when you are self propelled. :lol:

If you are using triple tree forks...have you thought about building some clip ons rather than drag bars? It would be sweet and fit the Café theme better.

Re: Nor Cal Tribute I'm originally from the East Bay...Contra Costa County to be more specific. I am going to be watching this one. Maybe you could fit the Golden Bear in the build somehow. I am also building a bike with a bit of CA tribute. It is No Use For a Name...They were a band from...

Re: Flat Black & White: First mock up Looks good so far. I have some different bars lying around if you want some other options. Let me know.

Re: NO uSe fOR a NaME!!! It's funny how builds evolve from the original plan throughout the process. I had no intention of this bike being "punk" themed or themed at all for that matter but now...who knows. This patch might have to make it onto the seat or something.

Re: NO uSe fOR a NaME!!! Here is a few more mockup pics...My favorite part of building. Taking it apart and putting it back together over and over again.

Re: NO uSe fOR a NaME!!! I figured their would be a few people that would appreciate that.

That is awesome...I love work pranking. I made a sheet metal box and welded it up solid with a coworkers cell phone in it because it never stopped ringing.

Re: NO uSe fOR a NaME!!! Put the boy to work and got some work done this morning... After we tore it down, I decided to bob the fender. This is the finished bob job mocked up with the rack. I still need to tweak the rack a bit. It has a slight bend in it. After I was done with the fender, I...

Re: The Throwback At least I'm not the only one. :lol: I spent the morning thinking about how I could incorporate the other bike I have into this one and then it hit me...I have a bike for next years build off!!! The build looks great so far by the way. :wink:

Re: NO uSe fOR a NaME!!! The Sheliminator will be missed but the Huffy Rail will be way cooler. The family and I are planning on a Sunday ride. It is supposed to be 60. We aren't sure where we will ride though.

Re: NO uSe fOR a NaME!!! When I got this bike I poked around a little bit and found holes in the head tube so I picked this up... I also picked up a rear rack... Here is the seat I will probably use... Here is a quick mockup with some bars from the sheliminator that I parted out and the...

Re: NO uSe fOR a NaME!!! This one is Murray built I believe. I do have a Snyder built 26" that I may use the chainring from for this build. The rest of the bike is for sale.

Re: NO uSe fOR a NaME!!! Since I will be focusing my creativity towards the build, I decided to not really give it a name. I guess it could be a tribute to Tony Sly, which is a great songwriter who passed away last summer far before his time. No Use For A Name was a band he was in. Anyways...

Re: Flat Black & White: Pile 'O Parts Hey Steve!!! Glad to see you are in! I will be paying close attention to your build. Jacked Up Pilot was a big inspiration for me. p.s. We need to go ride soon.

Re: The Throwback I have a tank for that bike if you are interested.

This is my first build off. This is what I am starting with. 24" Hawthorne (not sure on the year yet). I have been patiently waiting on tearing this thing down. I have had it since February and has been burning a whole in the garage. :D I hope you all enjoy what I have planned for it. This is...

My wife, daughter and I rode around Lake Calhoun yesterday. It was beautiful but very crowded. I forgot the camera so no pics. We all need to get together for a ride before the fall.

Boo! Can you go back and get the plate? :D

I would be interested in that Minneapolis license plate if you want to get rid of it. PM me.
