    Pics of my LocoJoe EZ Cantilever frame chop

    I used a grinder with a NEW 4-1/2 inch cutoff wheel and the gaurd removed I easily used a small ratchet strap , which i ultimately moved to the head instead of the seat post to facillitate welding I pushed the twin bars back up to original frame height, though many other projects leave them...

    I was going to ask about that (BBs)- I may take a couple of pieces of flat material, drill three holes and make a permanent tool... Have you made a BB cup removal tool as well?

    Thanks for letting me know this, most of my "supply" is modern garbage, a lot of it swaps - but keeping the sets together has helped be sure more of it does I'll bet how you have it will work and not grind! Man i have a lot of zip lock bags full o' goodies! I really like the threaded rod...

    Really like the bike from 2 bikes! Your fork bearing swap got me thinking... Just ignore this if you already know this, but those chrome cups the bearings sit in will come out of the head tube- in fact i do this every time i remove forks from a frame, then i put all the bearings, cones, the...

    Tierra Cruisera- a made over Jamis Earth Cruiser

    Great Build! I like the colors and the shape - the seat support curve and the way the top bar "misses" the head the colors ares so great, but i would never be able to put that together Dig it!

    Sketchy

    BO15 Bride of FrankenBike --> (was: Joining the Fray, blah )

    The "floating" chain rings tension the chain, and the big one makes the chain clear the blue forks, It would just clear with out it, like by half an inch... I just thought it would be fun to fill in the "extra" bottom bracket and make it go, y'know? ! Plus I just found 'em funny/cool

    This is a terrific build! From the found materials to the camo paint job, this is a visionary job Skil saw chain guard really pushes it over the top!

    Nouveau Style

    I really like this bike and its "touch of craziness!" I love the front wheel cover, just checked out your build thread and was surprised to find it came so late in the development process, because to me it it makes the bike! Along with the paint scheme, and its inverted application between...
