Here is my first Vlog for the build off. Hopefully I will get used to talking on camera and post more of these as I go.

I look forward to seeing them! This is what I'm used to as well. Nice rack!!

A work space has been somewhat of an obstacle in itself these last few years. We have a smaller home without a lot of storage, so the garage has become the overflow area. Couple that with my bicycle hoarding, and it got out of hand in a hurry. (you may remember a pile of rubble in my Bonine...

I know all of us come from different backgrounds and areas, and have vastly different approaches and arrays of tools... But we all have one thing in common, we all have somewhere that we build our creations. This could be a cool way to get to know each other better. Let's see what you've got!

This is the idea I am running with for this build...it is just a very rough sketch...more of a doodle. Not to scale or anything, but at least it will give an idea of what I am working towards.

I just posted some of the Cycovator parts in the for sale section. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/muscle-bike-parts-cycovator.92114/

Got some preliminary work done tonight...stripped down the wallyworld bike and cycovator. Not super productive work, but necessary. Maybe I will start surgery this weekend, then I will post some pics.

My main motivation is lack of time. I work full-time, I am in school full-time, and I have a wife and two beautiful daughters. That doesn't leave me much time to do what i love...and i LOVE picking up bikes that people pass up and turn them into something that I can turn heads with. I haven't...

Thanks! I was hoping to get one in a box to save a little time, but all of them that they had were on the floor. Oh well. And the seat was crooked btw. Lol

Picked up another piece of the puzzle tonight. My supply of wheels and other parts is at a minimum with the garage remodel, but I spotted this beauty on sale and the color is perfect. Wheels, tires, handlebars, (possibly seat and grips), and all of the new bearings for $88!

It should be interesting. I'm excited to get rolling on it. I recently divided my garage in half and built a studio for my wife on one side. I have been trying to get a working space carved out on my side...I'm really close now!

I think I might pass on that project..although there is a few months to do it. LOL

I'm going to try to rescue the remains of this one too...it's had a rough go of things I just couldn't let it go for scrap ;)

As you may know, my style is to upcycle frames and combine them...after much deliberation, here is one of the frames that I will be using. Without being too specific, maybe this orientation can illustrate how I will use it... The bad news is that one more of these will not be in existence, the...

I'm super excited for this year's build off! It wasn't long after last year that I started school for the fall and pretty much had no time to enjoy this site. School is winding down for the year, and I actually plan on jumping into a build before the last 2 weeks this year. No pics yet. I have...

I am just curious on how some of these beauties spec out, is anybody else? Sometime this weekend, hopefully, I want to try to figure out: Overall length Ground clearance Seat height Overall height Weight (without rider) And any other interesting measurements Is anybody else as curious on these...

PM sent about this rack

Really? Do you have a pic?

Here's a pic you can actually see. I'm not 100% sold on the tapatalk app yet

I've always wanted to have one of these frames and have this look. I want to find a tank that fits it and really make a beast of a rider. It's more of a time thing at this point…nothing will happen with it now until next summer probably. Thanks for the thoughts!
