What kind of stripper? Brush on or spray on?

ya know, I thought about it, but If I were going to have the spring that close to the fork, I'd just build a more conventional springer fork using this same idea. The bike I'm going to be mounting this on will have a steampunk sort of theme. So the goofy spring farther out may not be the most...

One thing to consider also, If you plan to clear over your vinyl, start by doing your first 2 or 3 coats in a light dust coat with about a 10 minute flash time in between. This will prevent the paint from getting under the adhesives and lifting your vinyl. Best rule of thumb when painting...

I didnt want to use a rear triangle. I wanted to still use a fork, because it will look more "rod like" and the curvature of the fork will give it a nice stance methinks. No real way to tell until I get something mocked up later this week. I drew up a sketch this morning for my "springer...

I picked this guy up a long time ago. Says Monark Silverking on the headbadge, but its not matching up with most other silverkings out there. It's NOT an aluminum silverking, which leads me to believe it's one of the later dept store monarks. The chainring looks like monark though. I know for a...

So I've been kicking around the idea of chopping up the rear suspension of a cheapo mountain bike to make a long, cool looking front suspension fork somewhere in the vein of a springer. This idea may not be the most functional, but in the end, I think it might look cool if nothing else. or add...

Hey everybody. My name's Travis, but you can call me Vonpotter. I'm from Eastern South Dakota. I've lurked the sire for years now and decided it was time. MY bike story would be as follows: Tinkered on them and rode MTB like crazy when I was a kid, but then I bought a car. Years later, I went...
