Ok, so I took a quick little trip to derpsville last night image by LowpowerD, on Flickr And realized that the men's seat that I picked is a single pan...but that's ok. I'm formulating a new plan now.

Thanks for following along everybody. Not just yet. I have been doing some test fitting, but still have aways to go before mock up. Yeah, I gots to find me one of those. Since I don't have a proper tall cycle truck stem I'm going to use these wide, low rise schwinn apes. They actually look...

With the extended steer tube and the stance kind of reminds me of a mini cycle truck ( sorry, got cycle trucks on my mind). This bike looks amazing :D

So about a year ago I got a cheapo auto body repair kit from Oreilly's. I had not opened it until this build, it's what I used to pop the dents out of the rear fender. image by LowpowerD, on Flickr Being the frugal ratter that I am, I like to reuse a lot of parts or buy parts that are a...

Good eye, yes there are some spokes that need to be trimmed down. I tried to take care of it with a Dremel but it was just taking too long. I'll just take it to work and use some air powered tools on it.

Back in '88 I was a 16 year old boy and heard John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton (the beano album) for the first time and almost wet myself. Mind you, at the time I already had stuff by Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters, but those Brits brought a ferocity that could only be matched by Jimi...

Polished up the chain ring and cranks. Not bad considering the crank was golden brown! image by LowpowerD, on Flickr Worm Drink: image by LowpowerD, on Flickr

Really like this: http://s1080.photobucket.com/user/latefordinner/media/Monarkbits008_zps74c019e4.jpg.html And this too: Keep up the good work and GTB!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I'm really digging the fat spokes too. It gives the bike a real work horse look. Here's how the spacers and bushings look: image by LowpowerD, on Flickr image by LowpowerD, on Flickr The drop stand works prefect now. Swings easy with very little side...

It looks like you got a pretty nice finish on those caps, excellent work!

It can have it's advantages ;) I got them from Memory Lane Classics, they're the stainless steel ones. I think they were about a buck apiece.

That's the way we ratters roll, right? Not much progress but I did manage to turn some bushings and spacers to help mate up the Schwinn drop stand to the Ross fork. image by LowpowerD, on Flickr

Kewl bike! Keep it up.

Finally someone brave enough to use bed liner! There has been some talk of trying this in the past but most people shied away from it for fear of being too heavy. Just for future reference, have you noticed any real weight gain to your frame?

Your bike is looking great so far. You've got my attention, keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! There seems to be a few cycle trucks/delivery bikes in this years BO. Looks like I got some competition. I may not be getting bored anytime soon. I felt confident enough to tackle both of my Colson chain guards today and still have about several sets...

I tried my hand at some "body work" today for the first time. image by LowpowerD, on Flickr The back fender was so bad, I considered replacing it. Now it's actually presentable. Not too bad for a beginner if I do say so myself! I'm going to try to work this beast of a reflector into the built...

Hey, I love a nice rack! I'm also diggin that exhaust pipe tank.

Those "speed holes" on that front hub drive me insane!

I actually used to play guitar in a reggae band, if it ever gets back together, can I borrow your dreadlock wig? All kidding aside, reach into your "stash" and pull out a bike: GTB
