    Gyes Seat

    I bought one too, small springer, has stitching like yours, black as well. It is stiff, but a lot of new seats like these are, maybe not brooks? I have been rubbing baseball mit goo on it and it's getting much softer. The one I wanted was no longer available, but I found one on ebay/japan. Took...

    Frame widening question

    Sheldon Browns board method works pretty darn good. Measure, bend, flip, bend, measure, tweek until right.

    quality 1/2" pedals?

    Yes they do, I run them on my ruff but really don't notice any difference. Granted, I'm not taking crazy sharp turns which might catch the pedal when the bike is at an angle. Besides that, they work great and I haven't thought twice about them being installed.

    quality 1/2" pedals?

    You can always buy adapters which allows you to run 9/16 pedals.

    Mongoose Beast Fat Bike build and ideas

    Clear will help a lot, some paints require it, check the duplicolor can. But if it's cured, it should not scrape off real easy. Do you know what the process is used in painting the org. wheels; are the wheels aluminum?

    Ruff Cycles frames are now in the US!

    No pics as of yet, just finished it and need to find a cool spot to snap some. One other thing, if one were to cut and stretch this bike one would then have issue reaching the pedals. With the seat post that I have I have about a 1/2 inch left in leg extension. If you were to mount 26 inch...

    Ruff Cycles frames are now in the US!

    I have a porucho with 24x4 wheels and this bike is a tank compared to my felt. I run a seat post that is bent back and soma bars that are pretty straight off of a triple tree. This is by no means a cramped bike, it is already stretched, but then again I'm not using as a kick back cruiser where...

    Headlight and lighting issues help needed!!

    There are numerous lights on that site that either mount using ears that attach to the triple tree, or from the bottom. You then rip out the light bulb, install an led along with a double A battery holder and switch. Takes a little time, but you then have a pretty cool light. Or go the easy...

    Why..

    do some companies put their logo on only one side of a tire. Ex. I just bought some super fat tires and they are marked only on one side, same with the thick bricks I have. It's not like back in the day where some auto tire companies did this, but you could just mount them so you could not see...

    few ?s on Porucho by ruff cycles

    I bought one, bypassed the dealers here in us, saved about 175 by buying from Germany but you will have to wait a month for shipping. 20's would look goofy due to how wide/stretched the frame is. I'm running 24x4's and I see no reason one could not run 26x4 BB is basic one piece, American, HS is...

    The Start Of My New Bike

    I'm building a Ruff right now, pretty much the same setup as yours, pearl white, black 100mm wheels, triple tree, etc.. What size rims and what tires are those? Have fun!
