Awesome build!

Because the bike was green, I had to go with a name like"The Wet Booger". You have some very nice looking bikes on your web page, keep up the excellent work.

Re: "Apple of my Eye" built for Daddys Girl That is an awesome bike. I think that she did a really nice job and it looks like she is enjoying it.

We just got back from South Dakota for a family reunion. While we were there, we swung by Sturgis to check things out. The ralley hasn't started yet, so it was nice and tame for my wife and kids. We stopped by the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame. http://www.sturgismuseum.com/...

PM me your email and I'll send you a bigger version.

Thanks for your comments, and I don't take it in a bad way because I completely understand what you are saying. I like subtle modifications that look like they could have come from the factory.

Nice build. I have the same bike that I also stripped the paint off down to the bare aluminum.

Gorgeous bike, I like the 24" build that you did for your son too.

Thanks for the kind comments and I'm glad that others enjoy the bike. Like I said in my build thread, I've been staring at this bike for 15 years trying to figure out what I needed to do to take the ugly out of it. I considered sand blasting it and powder coating it, but I'm glad that I held...

Here is the bike painted. Here is the video riding it.

Here are the finished pictures for my build. viewtopic.php?f=67&t=56713 Before Now

After I finished the build yesterday, I took photos in the front yard. In doing so, I noticed 5 things; First, I suck at taking pictures. I wish that I had a better eye for what looks good. Second, I suck at using our new camera. I couldn't get things in focus for the life of me. Third...

I like ape hanger handle bars, but it didn't want anything as big as the ones that I put on my other cruiser. I found these bars from Nirve. The size is perfect and they were already black. I picked up some sparkly green grips off the internet to match the paint. Have I mentioned that...

I don't have a really cool pile of old vintage bike parts, so I have to buy parts and use what have on hand. Many of my recycled parts come from Wally World bikes that have been trashed. I've picked many bikes myself and my neighbors are starting to give me more old bikes. My front wheel came...

I consider myself a proud member of the Back Page Bandit Mafia. And I like the reference about emerging rats, even though I don't deserve it. I'm not as cool as RatRodBikes or the Rat Fink, so a rat reference is still above me. I've been excited to do this bike since I finally realized what...

Photobucket is down right now, so sorry if the pictures are no showing up right now. You may need to come back later to see the pictures.

So, I've put this off for way too long. I have excuses ranging from work, traveling for work, vacations, kids, etc, etc. I lost some interest and was demotivated for a while, but I have all of the parts so I'm going to try and finish it and get some photos before I have to go out of town...

So, these are my tires... yes I plan to roll a Fatti. A Fatti-O that is, but I love the size of the 24 X 3.0. I searched and searched and ended up buying a Kenda for the front. I thought that the shape of this Kenda was a good match for the Fatti. That is my good news, the challenge will...
