    BO15 Radarlux Space-Cadet

    Wow! What a build! It is really interesting how the frame is not just a frame to hold mechanical components, but a frame to support, and clear, the body Nice work!

    BO15 Unknown BMX bike - Maybe Western Flyer

    Really nice work! the un-torn original seat completes the resto, makes it look totally legit

    BO15 Barracuda

    Man, gotta LOVE them handlebars!! Looks like a ton of fun, but i would be curious to see that thing with say, 16" wheels and a 3.5" crankset and tiny chainwheel...

    BO15 Papa's ride

    What a great build! I really like the handlebars, and showing/describing the process is fantastic! I have had poor success extenting handlebars, the extra leverage seems to wreck em. I may try again with your method The frame came out extra cruiser-y, a lot of fun, and cool all around!

    BO15 Unknown BMX bike - Maybe Western Flyer

    This is such a great build! Was the seat in that good of condition, or did you do more to it? I swear I had a chopper with long forks that was this same frame, and had an enormous, purple, flame covered, sparkly seat. This came out great!

    Hello! Building a bike again...

    Nice! Gotta love that western flyerMX or whatever it is! the rear drop-out plates are amazing and that springer! wow! If you were to cut it, though i am *not* suggesting that, One straight forward mod would be cutting it right behind the seat post and bottom bracket and moving straight back...

    Hello! Building a bike again...

    Cool stuff, I particularly like the "small Tall" - i have done a couple of similar ones- or as i say, tall bikes for people who are afraid of heights... how did you do that looooong neck stem? I like the chopper a lot as well!

    Finished my build did not enter the contest.

    That is a cool frame, I like the extra top bars. Where did you get the decals and head badge?

    New to RatRod Bikes and Klunker Building

    Looks great! I like the heat marks from the welding. When i want to speed up my patina I put a bit of vinegar and salt on the exposed metal and it rusts up pretty quick. I like the contrast between the rough frame and the new hardware
