    Primed for Renewal-1950 Columbia 5 Star

    BTW - LOVE the Andre the Giant sticker and the pedals with "TEETH". Both details are subtle yet continue the effectiveness of the theme. Congrats!

    Primed for Renewal-1950 Columbia 5 Star

    Dingo!!!! Sweet Build! I would humbly suggest that the "gritty" photos PERFECTLY capture the feel you were trying to portray with your build.....(coincidence is a b*tch!!). Nicely done! Brad

    A touch o' heat, a possible tack weld and that fork is all good! Worth the trouble!!!

    9 sweet old bikes. 30s-70s. What should I keep?

    If I was you I would sell/trade me that Columbia (local - no shipping!), keep the awesome Roadmaster, and part out the rest. You will likely pay for your entire cost and get to keep the Roadmaster for free! Great score! If you actually DO consider the above, I would appreciate the heads up on...

    Glide Deluxe bobber project

    Still my FAVORITE production frame from ANYONE built 1990 up until now. Dyno and Aaron Bethlenfalvy hit gold with that one. Looking forward to seeing your finished bobber!

    Phantom Menace

    Dude, you just keep doin' what you're doin' and leave the definitions to those on the sidelines! Creativity and artistry are what make the "outside the box" world o' RAT. Love your previous work and excited to see where the Phantom Menace ends up.

    WIDOWMAKER IV - ready to rumble!

    Re: WIDOWMAKER IV - update 6-8 Couple of extra points: How does a skip tooth front sprocket work with a regular rear cog? Are you gonna get that front light actually powered up? LOVE the stem. Love the "ratty red" paint. A touch o' satin clearcoat (or leave it) and call it perfect.

    WIDOWMAKER IV - ready to rumble!

    Re: WIDOWMAKER IV - update 6-8 NAILED IT. Should by a pic of this bike on wikipedia under the heading "21st century rat rod". Simple yet thoughtful, modern and retro, boundaries pushed, FUN expanded. Thanks for keepin' it real! 8)

    The Elgin Experiment (could have been a contender)

    Re: The Elgin Experiment (Fat booty bicycles are my game) I was never referring to the rack itself, just the light (cannister for the battery and the screw on lense).

    Re: The Elgin Experiment (Fat booty bicycles are my game) http://luxlow.com/bicycles/1941-firesto ... r-cruiser/ Here is my old bike, after selling to the restorer. The light in question (referred to as a "Firefly", I believe) was used on the 1941 Elgin and the 1941 Colson. It is almost...

    The Elgin Experiment (could have been a contender)

    Re: The Elgin Experiment (Fat booty bicycles are my game) Don't you DARE mess with that light!!!!! I'm pretty sure that it is the same one on the back of the 1941 Colson Firestone Supercruiser. HUGE money in that condition on ebay or the 'Cabe. When I sold my Supercruiser I had guys BEGGING...
