So simle and in your face. It's like what a recumbent cruiser should look like.

Beautiful details. It screams, "Ride me down that hill hard". No grips is OK by me. Thats why they make gloves. OK, maybe a shtikel of friction tape.

Makes me dream of being a child. Nice aesthetics and perfect touch on the finish.

Classy bike. I love the choice of color.

This is wonderful. You nailed the patina.

Nice job. Love klunkers.

Nice build. Lucky kid. Did you teach him to jump that crick, yet?

Beautiful. Are you a sculptor by any chance?

Ballsy engineering, man. way to go.

My wife would mug you for that bike. It's a peach.

Thanks for the comments. RRB was a wake up call a few years back. I would "upgrade" everything. It was stupid. When I saw your bikes, I tuned in and turned on to the beauty of the classic steel and the creativity of the group. I am grateful for this. Luke, she prefers to be called a Nude Fixed...

I got a decent chainline using a BB that kept the chain ring real close to the frame. Then I ground off the bosses for the second ring because they were hitting the chain stay. Then, removed all spacers from the rear axle to keep it skinny and cold set (bent) the frame into alignment. It's a...

This is a radical build. I can't wait to see it.

Thanks for the comments. I first got the raw steel bug from RRB so, my hat's off to the forum for that. I love the look. Lots of shades. Whoever originally brazed this frame though, must have stopped off at the pub first. I researched the brake bridge and the consensus is that it has minimal...

Hey Folks. So, you may remember this pile of parts from BO9. The Forum boss felt I could start over for BO10 with the same pile. I guess being a half-fast mechanic has its advantages. Here are the pictures of the original bike, and the old parts collection. Well, the concept has changed for...

There are so many great bikes, it's hard to chose only 3. My build was not finished in time but these bikes were an inspiration and I will finish it anyway.

Great project. It's like watching a good movie where you can't wait to see how it ends. Thanks for all the in-depth fabrication photos. Excellent ideas for jigging a frame. Designing on the fly is a true skill...the project IS the drawing board.

Patina and cheap. That's what my wife says about me. Your keeping it real!

I'm intrigued by klunkers. The history and everything. The bed liner is a great touch. Loving this build.

I've been sanding the spokes which are UCP but theres a zinc smell. I think zinc chromate self-etching primer will do the job even though it's designed for aluminum. Then red (probably). Anyone have any experienced with non-interlaced wheels?
