sorry for trolling, I searched but can't find...what exactly is boten? I see some bikes in the build off are marked boten; what is that and how to become boten? :) Do you have a secret handshake? I would love to be a part of a gang with a secret handshake.

Hello all of you out there! I've been a lurker for a while here but due to this build of #10 I decided I want to join the comunity and see how my bike will be seen by eyes of people who share the same passion with me (for now you can check out my work in progress in the build off section, I'm...

Thanks, it's going pretty good for now and I'm satisfied. Today I'm searching through flea market for some acessories, and I'm in a hunt for some real leather for grips and seat.

Oh yes; when you're 3rd generation of some sort of mechanical enthusiast, it can get a little bit crowded with stuff..all sort of stuff! :D And for the shop clothing; after latest war in Croatia in the '90s we all have a lot of military surplus clothing, so it's been used in so many ways you...

...and it's painted (almost)! this weekend I went to the shop to get the paint; I went in with intention to buy RAL 6005 and I came out with two cans; one flat black and on...RAL 6009. It looked smoother on day light, and I liked it better, so I changed my mind in the last minute (also, my...

Fun fact; Jamie Farr aka Klinger was born od July 1. 1934. Happy birthday Klinger, you Section 8 hunter! :)

O I had, anda every time I strated picking up color codes, I got a headache of all the choices. For that matter, I'm not going for authenticity because: a) this is not a authentic bicycle used in that period or even as a military bicycle b) there are too many options on paint tones, so I'm...

This weekend I was playing with the pedestrian slicer plate. I didn't want to drill new holes in the fender, so I went in MacGyver style and made a bracket that mounts on fender truss rods. Ignore the paper sign, it's there just to see how it will look when painted. After I was satisfied...

I'm playing around with the idea of Radar's teddybear, but not sure for that. For now, I'm struggling to find the right color tone; some of army colors are beautifull, but some are extremly ugly. Plus, I want to paint it matte, but with rough, textured surface (not smoothed out).

I had to try out new seat setup so I did a test drive; even with the gears not working (or brakes), it rides great - this is going to be big joyrider when I finish him.:dance2: When I finished my ride, I noticed that there was no stand, so I quickly put one on-you need to have a kickstand...

Top tube is factory bent; I'm not sure what kind of frame is it, google tells me it could be a Haro SSX (but it has a 1" headtube, not 1 3/8" as it would be with that suspension) or an old Kettler MTB from the 90's (more likely). As far as the frames go, I'm rather jelaous because over here...

I'm from Slavonia, continental part of Croatia. Few generations ago (about time when your wife's grandparents moved to US) my ancesters moved from Gorski Kotar (Gerovo is located there) to Slavonia, so there is a slight possibillity there's a connection. I made a pin on the map, thanks for the...

Hello to all of you out there! This is my first post on this forum (I've been a lurker for a while) and after reading your threads and seeing your builds, this now feels like first few seconds of a head dive into cold water. But, here we go... :) Few months ago I got my hands on this poor...
