Re: Blackened (6-1, update) O.K., as far as the fork goes, I wanted something different than the original. So I found an old BMX fork that fits the frame I'm using and cut 'er down. Then I took a section of leftover chainlink fence pipe, measured the desired length and cut it in two. I needed...

Cool looking bike so far! You can call it the Buschwacker!

That is every ratters dream come true! Very cool!! Good for you!

It's always a good idea to keep plenty of Coppertone on hand when hangin' out by the pool! :lol:

Wow! That's why I like the fresh finds section! To hear the cool scores! Nice bike!

Blackened (6-1, update) So I got the whole bike disassembled. Now I start piece by piece. Decided to come up with a different seat. I had a set of seat pans that go together, but the mounting bracket was shot, so I had this older mounting bracket and thought I could combine the two. First...

Wow! We have some very cool members on this site! Talented, giving, and helpful! Way to go!

One of my favorites to watch. Cool name! Interested to see what you do with the Heiney can!

This should be great! Starting with something in that condition, can't wait to see you bring it back to life!

Good lookin' build so far! Good to see another northern rat here!

Re: JC Jalopy (May 22 Update) I think it's cool how you have a bike like your first pics, and now you're resurrecting it into something cool! Looks great so far!

Picked this up at a garage sale Thursday. The bike has been painted over in blue over the original black paint. Would like to remove that blue paint, but oh well. You can make out 'Sears' on the chainguard, and it has Sears in a circle on both tires. But the pedals say Columbia on the sides. I...

Schwinnmesa - Sorry I haven't checked my pm's. I'll be putzin' with bikes this weekend and I'll disassemble the predator to get more info on the rims and pm you.

Yes, the back rim is red, and so is (was) the front rim. You can see little patches of red here and there. Paint must not of held out as good as the back. Thanks for the offer!

I was gonna meet up with a buddy of mine last weekend, and he asked if I'm still into bikes, cause his neighbor has a pile to throw out. I said 'Bring 'em with.' So he only got 6 in the bed of his Dakota, but told me to come and get the rest. Here's what he brought. A few parts donors on top...

Looks like the little dude approves of the green road bike! Thumbs up! 8)

Cool!! This is one of my favorites for the custom fork and handlebars alone! Looking forward to progress pics!!

Cool!! That's a clever set-up you have there! Can't wait to see how it progresses!

Blackened Blacksheep, thanks for the feedback, but I'm gonna go with my second choice, Blackened, a song off Metallica's 'And Justice For All' album. When you think about it, there are alot of possibilities for the word black for a name. A few off the top of my head, Blackout, Back in Black...

Cool! We see so many vintage bikes for the build-offs it's cool to see a different one. I'm curious to see how this turns out! Good luck!
