I bet that bare metal will be one of the most popular colors in the build-off this year.

I had some time tonight, so I got it outside to strip the paint. I have an old grinder with a wire wheel. It does a good job removing paint and rust. I spent a fair amount of time getting as much as a could, but I can't get inside all of the nooks and crannies. Also, the paint color is close...

I had some free time this evening, so I got the bike up on the stand to start breaking it down. It didn't take too long to break down and there wasn't any drama involved. I don't know if I lubed the chain when I got it or if the previous owner did, but that was the only part on the bike that...

I picked up this bike during Build Off #7. I was going to swap bikes and use this one, but I made the right choice and stayed with my original bike. I picked up some materials and I was going to build this frame for Build Off #8, but the kitchen remodel got in the way and I wasn't able to...

I saw this in the local classifieds early this week. It had been on there for a while, but nobody was interested. I was able to pick it up today for $10 and he ended up throwing 2 other bikes in for free. I've always wanted the huge sprocket, chain guard and handlebars. The seat, head badge and...

Re: ★★ DANA-GLIDE ★★ - 5/11 UPDATE I was just thinking on Friday that I should paint my Beast a desert sand beige with black wheels, but you beat me to it. It looks really nice.

If your bike build turns out anything like your rendering, you will for sure have my vote.

I only had the brake issue the first night when I test rode it. I haven't had any issues since then. I thought the same thing yesterday when I parked the Beast next to my Harley. From the front, the Beast has a much taller and wider tire. But from the rear, my Harley's tire is still almost...

I completely disassembled my bike and repacked the bearings with grease and properly adjusted the bearings. It's fun to ride around and it rides great over the gravel portion of my driveway. I threw some apes on, but they aren't as tall and cool as Kingfish's. I had an issue when I took it...

I just had to assemble it in the classic w@lmart style with the backwards fork for a picture. :D

I ordered my on the 29th, and it finally showed up today. I was out of town all last week, so I had it shipped to the store. I didn't want to ship it to my house and have it arrive when I was out of town. I also wanted to inspect it in the store and return it if it was beat up too bad. It...

That's weird, I was just able to order a red one. I have been holding off on ordering it because I'll be out of town and I didn't want it sitting on my porch. With my luck, it will probably be like the Felt tire deal where everybody ordered them but the computer system wasn't updating the...

Sorry, if I posted this in the wrong location.

This isn't a Rat Rod Bike related post, but has anybody seen pictures from the North American Handmade Bicycle Show? There are some some amazing pictures on the Velonews and Cyclingnews websites from the show. Their fabrication and welding skills leave me speachless. Here are a couple of...

I was surfing through the documentaries on Netflix the other night and I came across this movie. The movie is about Ab Jenkins, how he encountered the Bonneville Salt Flats and started racing out there. It also talks about all of the speed and endurance records that he set out there. Many of...

Re: Nuttin Fancy fineshed build off 7 Nice, I like it! Apes, and nothing else that isn't needed.

Awesome work and awesome bike. The details are endless, but my favorite part is the fork. It caught my eye and I think makes a huge impact.
