That pick of your bike next to the redwood reminds me of the drive on Highway 20 (between Ukiah and Willits)!

Looks perfect next to the Stude!

A coworker of mine that's into motorcycles recommended Nevr-Dull to me for rust removal/chrome polishing. I thought I'd give it a shot and write a short review on it. I bought the can at Walmart for about $5. IMG_0748 by LowpowerD, on Flickr Opening the can, it looks like cotton wading and...

Thanks again for all the positive comments guys. I've been riding the wheels off it every chance I can get. I get good reactions from everyone that sees it. I get a lot of comments about the paint. Most people are surprised when I tell them that it's rattle can from Walmart! This being the...

Yeah, at first I thought the blue wasn't dark enough. But I'm loving it now. Added a Miller kickstand and a Pearson siren.

Welcome from south/central Kansas. If you can't make it down here, there's some fine rad rod brotheren in the KC area too.

It looks like a CWC frame, they have slits cut on both the front and back of the seat tube. I think Gold Street's problem is that the seat it's self is twisting on the post? It looks like you've got all the right parts. Try a thicker shim. Or stipple the post (where the clamp goes) with a...

Re: Kustom Coaster III (Assembly Stuff) Great idea for the shifter mount. I have to admit that at first I wasn't too keen on the door panels. But after seeing the mock up, I think they're awesome!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I wasn't going to do a bike this year because my wife (Littlebluetrike) and I were going to have a baby. A month into the build off the itch hit me so hard I had to do it. 14 hours after I made the Finished Bike post viewtopic.php?f=78&t=74397, my wife...

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Yes it's simple and yes it rides great.

After the shake down run, I found a couple problems. Both wheels came loose just from riding around the block. And both wheels needed some wobble trued out of them. Even with the 2.5 wide tires there's still plenty of room in the frame and fork. But the rear tire was hitting the chain as it came...

With a flurry of wrenches and grease, I got it put together. And took it for a shake down run. IMG_0692 by LowpowerD, on Flickr It's a bad night time pic I know. I need to true up the front wheel and take some better pics in the day light. But other than that, I think I met my goal of getting...

I just got done editing my build thread to comply with the new forum rules. On with the bike. I decided that the paint job wasn't going to be "permanent", so I's not going to spend $ on pinstriping. I went cheapo with some stickers: IMG_0680 by LowpowerD, on Flickr At least I'm flyin the...

Thanks Randy. It's going to be gloss. I just haven't polished it yet.

Re: New Age Hawthorne -- Wheels, tires, paint... I'm diggin' yer paint booth there Toe!

I tried to muck up the paint on Friday ( not enough talent). So I let it set until Sunday. And gave it some righteous wet sanding with some 2000 grit, and I'm thinking after some pinstriping, it should be ok. IMG_0667 by LowpowerD, on Flickr IMG_0668 by LowpowerD, on Flickr IMG_0674 by...

At last week's flea market I scored up this '53 Schwinn (badged as a B.F. Goodwrench) and a crusty set of S-2's with American made tires. IMG_0664 by LowpowerD, on Flickr IMG_0679 by LowpowerD, on Flickr

My buddy Walt and I had a great time on this ride. The second half of the ride was petty brutal with the wind and all. But we all had it better than Kevin. His bent seat post clasped so bad his seat springs would touch his tire, bring him to a stop! We saw eight teenage boys riding a golf cart...
