Here lately I've been using a hardwood dowel to first try on removing the cups, more on BB cups. Notice I said "first" try, the dowel won't mare the cups if you don't have a proper removal tool... doesn't always work, but if you plan on re using the cups it can't hurt..

"Dunedin Bike Show 2015"... is over!:( So here a few pics from the show... http://s23.photobucket.com/user/MikeGrease/library/Dunedin Bike Show 2015

Stupid question Rev. 7.125... "Wrap around fenders, how the..." What are most people doing to accommodate wrap around rear fenders, or I guess some call them street sweeper styled, the ones that wrap around to almost the ground? I have a welder who says he can butt weld the fenders, but then I'm...

If I had the room for a powder coat set up (Nice garage area to spray, oven, etc.), I don't think I'd ever paint a frame again. So much more durable than paint and the color selection is almost unlimited these days...

Well Biff's Burgers has added a second Custom/Vintage Bicycle Show to it's events schedule. Well the first show was well attended, lots of trophies... so they are considering four shows a year. I know of one area event that it'll be in conflict with which might put a dent in the attendance, so...

Awesome!!!

I didn't go back very far, but if you're using a bmx American BB, yeah they gotta go... ??? Man I don't know, I just knocked mine out with a couple of smacks with a hammer on a screwdriver, might try heating them with a torch if you're planning on doing anything else to the frame... of course if...

Well Luke, you ought to love this then! Never one to leave well enough alone... Hot Rod Higgins receives some additional updates in the form of some old school lace work on the added fender...

Comment for the powers to be... Not that I don't appreciate the motorized builds, but based on the voting, isn't it time to do a "Motorized Category" for the BO's? JMHO... seems they should be separate from the pedal powered stuff, it's hard enough voting on bicycles to toss powered art into the...

Too bad we can't just vote by bike names... "Half Fast Flyer"! LMAO:rofl: Lot of nice builds, and once again I missed the mark:(, didn't want to rush things to get in under the wire... and then have to compete with some of these builds! I'll show up in the "Build" section;)... gotta go vote!

Thought I'd drop $.02 on the subject... My blast guy and powder coater are located right near each other. Had my Worksman RS, blasted and powder coated for about $140, that was metallic and included the forks. What I found that seems to go a long way... "Hey man, no hurry at all..." and don't...

Alright, so I'm still not fully decided on this, but I made a bit of a commitment! I've always liked the custom old school lace painting graphics, figured I'd give it a shot... the fact that I was able to find a paint that matched the powder coat helped. Chain guard was due to be used on...

"Aw, what a cute little baby! Look he's got his Daddy's big tall ears..." But which one of those two models is the Daddy Bike and which one is the Mommy Bike... Hmmmm, doesn't that pose a delicate question???:rofl:

Tell me they at least bought you a beer for the hat effort?:rofl: What kind of production numbers do you figure they'll have for this model? I have a Felt road bike, does that count for anything?

Not to worry, after consuming many New Belgium Fat Tire Ales, we burnt that witch at the stake! or... At exactly 20.5 mph, you can jump into the void left by the absence of the hub, as it becomes a time portal!

Well it sure sounds to me like they're readily available... but that's just me:rolleyes:

Oh come on, I can think of a few places that would fly... but you could only really enjoy it for three, four months a year at best! Not exactly something you'd wanna go ice fishing with.:rolleyes: I was talking to him for a while about that, the pic doesn't do the frame paint job any justice...

Did you catch the trike with the hubless front wheel? The thing had hydraulics on the rear, just drop it and the parking brake was set! I find it hard to believe, but I was told the red, white, and blue Electra (or what ever it was) got "Best of Show"... I'm gonna have to confirm that before I...

I posted a link to my photobucket folder with pics from the event yesterday, if anybody's interested (I know I don't hit the events page every day, figure I'm not the only one)? http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/biff-burgers-show-swap-meet-st-pete-fl-3-1-15.89722/ Ah, here's...

Well the Biff's Burger Show has come and gone, great show considering it was the first, awesome weather (possibly even too hot considering just the day before was sweatshirt weather!). Here's a Photobucket link to the folder of show pics: http://s23.photobucket.com/user/MikeGrease/library/Biff...
