Exactly what i was thinking Oddjob.

Not much of an update but the wife insists every once in a while i actually earn some money. Started to try and make a battery holder for the headlight/taillight. So decided to try something in the industrial steampunky relm. I found 2 single D cell battery holders that I can stack and they fit...

Love the painting on this bike. Loads of fun.

Have you tried some ape hangers on it. I could picture it that way with the added benefit of a more comfortable ride.

WOW, I did not recognize the front wheel.

Thanks guys. I know there is slot more of you voters out there. I have a long way to go in a short period of time.

Hay fellow members, I see from the forum stats there are thousands of members on here so if I even get a fraction of that number that would be great. My town is running a competition to select an artist to put there artwork up on billboards this coming year. It would be some great exposure for...

I am soaking a chain in some oil now. Does the heat really make a difference?

Very interesting and just the info I hope to gather here.

Would like to see a picture with a person on it to see how the scale of it looks. Right now it does have a massive feel to it.

not sure if these photo's show it but like this? How tight/loose are the covers on there? Should they spin pretty freely when in place?

I have these two caps from another old frame that fit on the bottom bracket. I assume they are to help keep the dirt out. But I am unsure how they get attached to the crank. Do they get placed between the lock nut and cones so they end up spinning with the cranks? Any help and pictures are...

Keep an eye on your chain lines. I did something similar once and ended up with the chain scraping the frame.

For all the old crusty bike builders who have been doing it for years I am wondering if you would share some of your secrets. Example: "I always put a little grease on my pedal threads to make it easier to remove them"

Can you give the handlebar wrap a very light coat of a polyester resin? Just enough to soak in but not enough to kill the texture. Might help protect it some???

"I took an hour or so to break down the Sea Trails. It's May in Florida...it's starting to get hot outside, so I came in at about 10 am." Feeling the pain with you man. Wishing I was up at our other house in the mountains right now.

Looks like a good start.

I use to have a boss say "tighten it till you hear it snap then back it off a quarter turn":21:

I have always been a builder. As a kid I built my own bikes,wooden go carts to race down the back alleyway, forts in the woods, etc. Now as an adult the creative juices are still flowing. Between my photography,mixed media sculptures, my houses, and some display work I do I am still building.

Thanks guys. It has been so long forgot all about that.
