On this subject, how many of you do cutting, grinding and welding in the area of your bike storage? I see some of you hanging bikes by your workspaces and just wondered. I have a seperate area for storing our bikes because of all the dust and ground metal that comes from building bikes...

I hang my apes from the raters over one of the benches and have most of the other types in old dresser drawers under the bench. I've also used totes and pickle buckets for handlebars and other things. Here's a link to pictures of my shop and a few ideas of other FBM members. It hopefully will...

Although this if from last spring, it has just recently been brought to my attention. In the land of vintage and restored bikes (and the parts that they need) emerges a few humble custom bikes, simply known as FreakBikes. Behold ...... http://www.ann-arbor-bicycleshow.com/pics10.html In the...

Even though we couldn't ride, Gigs and I had a lot of fun hanging with everyone. Great first ride turnout! I'm posting a few pics that we took. Photobucket is slower than a parapalegic turtle! I'm calling it a night as far as posting new pics, but here's what I got so far ..... Ted...

:cry: You mean you don't come to Autorama to see my beatutiful face? :cry:

Edgar, A lot of the old Schwinn dealers use to carry Schwinn brand unicycles. If you can find a dealer whose been in business since the 70s, you may find one who knows about the other brands of unis. Petris is one of the oldest in my area! I know very little about the subject, but like...

Edgar try looking for some unicycle club websites. Just like bicycle groups the uni guys have their historians and gurus. Here in Michigan we have or had the Redford Unicycle club but I don't know if they're still around. You could also try Petri and Sons Bikes. Bicycle Don is a member of RRB...

The free tag along is safely put away until I what to pick it up! :wink: I've got several very cool dropouts that I could add onto the frame, most will move the tire atleast 2" back. 2.125 is pretty much the standard for most of my builds. I'm not a big fan of using 20rs on my personal bikes...

I may have overlooked this but, it looks like 20"rs on the bike. Do you think the tagalong could handle a 24" or would a person have to modify it to fit. Also what would you guesstimate to be the widest 20" or 24" tire that a person could put on without modifying. Just curious cauise I might...

:lol: She would be sooo much hotter on a burrito and wearing a cut of FreakBike shirt! :shock:

I like how you've manage to take so many strange parts, mix them with your strange visions and turn this build into a very cool Freak! The fork is just "get down awesome"! I've got a similar seat and I'm thinking of possibly useing it on my Autorama build. It just depends on which design I go...

GOOD EYES! Yep, Rat B. Nimble recieved the donor rear. The Cycle Works goons broke the seat post off in Nok Nok along with bending a rim for me. So I scrapped the bike for parts. I really liked this bike and had a lot of fun on it. I'm thinking of building a newer version sometime soon .... Nok...

Great pic! I love the bars!

Jasper, I couldn't have said it better! :wink:

Hey Rob, how's this for a narrow rearend? :P The trike also leans into the turns! It's the brainchild of a guy outta Ontario, Canada. His name is Jensen. I met him at an HPV race in Waterford, Michigan this last summer. He had some problems but the little thing was FAST! Very cool guy and...

Thanks Rob, We were thinking along the same lines. I just wasn't too sure of my brain. I just got off the phone with a friend of mine whose got a little more knowledge than me on this subject. He pretty much said the same as your reply. I'm gonna try to get this idea started in the next couple...

I've never heard of any snow specific tires for bikes. I do know that there are bike designed for snow and icey conditions, but I think they just run the larger/wider tires that have the treads similar to normal mountain bike knobs. Some tire manufacturers offer studded bike tires.
