    BO15 32" Motorbike

    This bike is looking good! The contrast between the brass and steel is the icing on the cake is this bike an unusual size?

    BO15 Cyrus the Virus

    This thing looks like a weapon! I too dislike finish, and particularly prep, work I wind up leaving many of my bikes "calico" -besides That way you can see the joined parts more easily, it exposes the process this is an ambitious project and looks great!

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

    Got busy for a few weeks, but that is a good thing! I think the bike is purt-near done, but here are a few images of my last few steps Handleborks came out great, but needed some support on the bottom of the head, check last picture to see the installation of the neck and bar. (I ultimately...

    I am getting close to complete, but haven't posted any pictures "borks" totally worked out, but I went cruiser when i shoulda gone ape I think i may just cut and x-tend-o the handle bars, rather than make a THIRD set of forks- up up and away!

    BO15 Papa's ride

    Man! That bike is looking good! I really like all the "bent" tubing- seat post, bars etc. All the "made" parts like the shifter and light are very cool

    Thanks! I manged to pull this off the first time! - I had just enough material for 3 , but somehow managed to get 2 matching ones right off of course i am now unhappy with how I cut the fork I am using for the headset, so I will have redo that- but I have too much work into this now to use a...

    I am re- visiting my forks I had a sudden realization that they need to swoop up and "be" the handle bars. I bet i could flip the fork/headset over too, or will that lever just rip right off? Cool Anyhow, I bent up a test, more to come- plus i get a chance to shove the frame a little bit lower

    Yup! Hey on the original post, it seems like a quick, no-tool solution could be as simple as two velcro cable managers- while the bracket gets developed

    Locks just keep stuff from "walking away" with mildly interested parties, IMHO serious thieves will thwart darn near ANY measure, another reason I ride garbage but breaking the locks is cool vid, I got one off just hitting it with a 5lb wedge ended sledge hammer Should i not say that i have...

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

    perhaps, but it can just be faked in as well since the forks are rigid and don't need to push against anything or be tied together like an actual springer... But it does "feel" like there needs to be "something" there- perhaps springs or a chrome doo-hickey or a cheese grater... ? I am open to...
