Thanks, I painted the cap matte black now. Thanks guys! You too OJ! Since I'm already in the 'classic ratrod' zone here, I might just take it a step further. I found some black/white checkered BMX grips that I like and: I'm not sure yet, but considering buying a few Rat Fink decals OR some...

That lamp is just so awesome. Its even cooler when they work :heart: Love this part in the buildoff where everyone is testing their machines.

I agree with you! Also the fact that the tube is black helps in the balance of the look of the bike. :rockout: Thank you! I fabricated them from steel 12,9 strength screws. I checked beforehand if I was able to drill the fork holes 12mm at home. Luckily I still had a step drill. You can buy...

Result: It doesn't make any noise and there is no wobbly wheel! The bike rides very good right now! Mission accomplished! Now I can start working on the pedals. Looking forward to that!

I changed the size of the pictures, I hope it works now. Fork process: Bush goes in the fork, since the original pivot pivots on the tube walls. Other side. Since there is a bush in the lower fork crown now, that is a little bit longer than the crown tube, I can fully engage the bolt and...

Thanks Captain, I will make sure to do that in the following (re)post.

Not all images seem to be loading, despite me editing the post and placing all images again :bandit: I'll try again tomorrow.

Working on the fork and doing some testrides! I found an 1940's bike in the trash. I could save a few parts only. But I used the carrier legs for my fork...... what a match!!! Instagram video link Now its a dropout Done! Now I can remove the wheels without disassembling the entire...

:rofl:

Not even part of the build and so much to comment on 🤩 Battlebots! What are your favorite bots? I haven't seen the newer seasons unfortunately. Love the sketches there, number 1 and 8 are gorgeous designs. The trike sketch is promising, really like it!

Checkout the old Mr and the Mrs at a seaside [edit]: lakeside view: Roses are red, bicyclettes are blue, I want to be near the lake with you :heart: From @Uncle Shish https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/iron-oxygen.119744/page-5

My previous post may be a bit vague but:

That is certainly a great idea, I will consider that together with an extra strut for torsion stiffness. Thanks again! Haha!:rofl: Yes indeed agreed! I could get over certain bumps and potholes though, I was actually surprised! I am also thinking right now about the chain guide or...

I'm a bit hecitant talking on videos, especially English/Murican :bigsmile: But I'm thinking about doing a review on instagram about the cargo bike, so maybe I'll start chatting soon! Thanks King! Wow, appreciate the effort you put in there. Thank you Bobby! Since I feel there indeed a lot to...

Beautiful bike to watch, can't wait for some pictures from your ride and being in the wild :thumbsup:

TESTRIDE TIME I assembled some 'temporary' pedals and went for a ride. The testride was a lot of fun and getting used to this unusual beast. Cornering is crazy scary at first. There are things that need a little work, like the creaky, floppy front fork. And a chain tensioner/guide. But the...

I left the blacks bars on the bike for a testride and they are very comfortable to ride! The bar is definitely growing on me. These bars and stem are still optional though. I worked on a few details: The front fork was a bit flimsy and made the front wheel wobbling everywhere. Already...

Working on some details. Instead of the current pedal blocks, I decided to design something unique, something I like that fits the theme of the build. I made pedal blocks in my first buildoff from wood. Made the sides and constraints. So cool!!! But 3D printing this beast is insane...
