    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    Yes sir haha I bought my new springer fork and when I realized the headset length was ridiculously crazy I was sorta bummed out. But I fabbed that up and it works great after some smoothing down the welds with a grinder haha. Great minds think alike brother.

    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    Excited for tomorrow. There's a bike swap meet going on by my house so hopefully I score some nice vintage parts for cheap. I'm also waiting for my hairpin saddle to come in the mail but now IDK if I want to replace my awesome looking brooks. Also waiting for a leather saddle bag.

    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    I recently had a convo with the guys over with the guys on the RRB FB page about my created rust. It has eaten through my clearcoat and when I ran my hand down my forks or seatpost I had alot of rust on my fingers. After looking through various forums and asking around I came to the conclusion...

    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    It was a nice rainy day yesterday so decided to do some indoor work. So I overhauled my front and rear axles including my coaster brake as well as my crank. I think I ended up putting too much grease though because I had more rolling resistance but after a couple of miles I was good to go...

    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    Hey guys so I finally have free time to update you guys on my build. I recently got my order for my beautiful schwalbe creme fat franks and they changed the look of my bike. I couldn't wait to get them installed and once I did they rode amazing. As you also saw my poor brooks suffered a rip and...

    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    This bike is far from done and I've been working on it about a week before the build started but due to some technical issues I couldn't post the build up. Now I can so I'm taking full advantage of it. Not done yet still have a lot to go so stay tuned. I'm posting what I've done since te build...

    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    Decided to wire up my lights as well so they don't just look pretty. Got an 8 pack aa holder along with a soldering iron, wires and connections, also threw on a little toggle switch. The guide was a sealed glass headlight so I was scared the battery pack wouldn't fit but its so large that even...

    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    I liked how my seat post came out so I did them same with my forks. Ughhhh so much grinding but I finally got them decently cleared of paint and rusted them as well. Once that was all said and done I cleared them and love how they came out.

    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    As you could see I stripped my custom layback seatpost down to the metal then sprayed it with my rust formula and cleared over it. I LOVE the look.

    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    I had a small rivet seat but it was too new for my bike so I scored a old vintage brooks off letgo for $20. It was intensly dry though and not having proofhide at the time I used shoe polish. It sort of conditioned it but apparently not enough because of my first ride it ripped clean...

    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    Found an old guide headlight on fleabay. Scuffed her up a bit cleared with a matte clear and tinted the headlight for a more vintage look. Don't know why it came out sideways though lol

    "Old Soul Young Blood"

    Hows it going guys this is my first ever RRB build and I couldn't be more excited. It all started with a electra cruiser 1 I got off CL for $50. I've always liked the stretched frame look and quality of electra bikes. I sadly didn't take pics of the next part of the build but I sanded the...
