Re: >>> SINGLESPEED HOTROD >>> Tankplate/scallops , mock-up Thanks man! I always look at things and think of how I would 'hotrod' it... Diamondframes are a natural to me. They make up 99% of the men's bikes around here. Modern and vintage. And I know it can be done. Your revamped mtb has got...

Plates look good in the overall-shots. But shoot some pics from different angles so we can see more easily for instance that you've used two plates at the seattube. I guess it goes without saying that you should makem fit as tight as possible. Cool build. 8)

^ No.9 by Fenderhole And what about last years runner-up? It's so shiny it hurts my eyes. Again! 8) People are voting for very different and personal reasons. To me the surface-finish isn't that important. It's just a part of the overall look. Sometimes 'ratty' will fit a bike better...

Nice shape! Would be also cool if something like that was made out of metal. Pollished aluminum. You could even use an aluminum roadbikestem as a base I guess... Or a doorhandle... Keep up the good work. I'm lovin' this build.

Re: >>> SINGLESPEED HOTROD >>> 3rd fender added! ^ Tankplate mock-up While I was waiting for Karfers update I went back to the shed to shoot some pics of the mock-up I did last week. I still try to follow my concept, and must say: It all kinda works! imho... The shape of the tank is...

Re: >>> SINGLESPEED HOTROD >>> 3rd fender added! Thanks guys! Nice of you to say. Wish I had some updates for you guys but I find it really hard to find some time to work on the bike. Made a quick cartboard tankplate for mock-up and measuements, but didn't feel nessecary to post pics...

Re: "RATS-ALT" (NEW LINES) There's also a 'Finished Bikes of RRBBO#6'-thread since today! :mrgreen: I love your attitude towards your build. I did my RRBBO#4-bike that way and I'm a bit jealous of you now I'm working off of a tought-out 'concept'. I try to be spontainious but somehow I keep...

Re: HARD LUCK (6/4 ON HER TIRES BIG OL UPDATE) Thanks man! You won't be surprised if I tell you I really like the flow in this set-up. :wink: The leaf and the fork became 'one'. But I don't know if that's a good thing. This way it looses some of it's mechanical appearence the leafspring...

Your the first to enter the Finished gallery! 8) As I said before: I like it a LOT! Very subtle hotrod-bike you've build. If this Schwinn will come on the market it'll kick Electra's, Nerve's, Felt's, Dyno's retro butts!

Re: HARD LUCK (6/4 ON HER TIRES BIG OL UPDATE) Oh, cool! Thanks in advance. Guess I'll have to stay awake for a few moments... My sunday is slowly turning into monday :| Don't know if it'll look good or bad. Just curious.

Re: * GROUND ZERO * (Bars! Lights!) Awesome! High frontends are not really my thing, but this bike has so many cool detail that I keep getting back for more! 8) I like how the look of the decal on the rack turned out....

Turned out very nice. Hope to see her building bikes herself in a few years or so. You two did a great job in making it a family effort. 8)

Re: "JAGomatic" So... You're gonna do the REVERSE ratrod-thing huh..? :mrgreen: Cheers and have fun!

Starting with such a cool bike... you don't need luck. :wink: Have fun!

Re: HARD LUCK (updated 5/22 fork work and pedals) I'm wondering what it'll look like when you flip the front forks so the bent 'points' to the front... Love this build. 8)

Re: "RATS-ALT" (NEW LINES) Glad this ain't over yet!

Re: The Svelte Spyder- Update 6/2 bye-bye triple tree That is awesome Scott! I love the diversity in materials... Reminds me of my academic years. If feel it's time to eperiment again. Although I haven't got much time to do that. Heck, I even haven't got the time to set up a facebook account...

HOLY COW! That is beautiful......

Re: The Svelte Spyder- Update 6/2 bye-bye triple tree Hey Fisch, Sorry for being off topic... Via your intro, I just stumbled upon your website. You do some amazing art... I'm wondering what medium you work with/in. :shock: 8) :shock: No wonder you're building an awesome bike. I'm an...

Re: Let's Do This! * Now Known As Speedy *Front Fender 1.0 DO IT! I've always wondered how that would look like, but was afraid to try out myself... The mock-up is very promising. 8)
