here's a shot of the "emblem" on its backbone... ...thought it captured the attitude/feel of this bicycle

Thanks! You didn't miss it, I don't think I mentioned it...yep, I used some dished freeze plugs...unfortunately I don't remember what size. I'll try to get a pic with me on it at some point :)

We had a blast with these pics! My wife was the photographer, and I was the "lighting engineer"...we didn't want to use flash, and I wanted a warm, yellowish look on the bike. We went out to a local cemetery and started shooting. I was hoping to get more headstones in the background, but the...

Thanks for the compliments! I need to get some detail shots of it up soon. I liked this bike before, but I love it now! The pics were fun, my wife was the photographer, and I was the "lighting engineer"...we didn't want to use flash, and I wanted a warm, yellowish look on the bike. We went out...

^^^2012 RRB Photo Contest entry^^^

Here is my entry for the 2012 RRB photo contest... *Note: if I am lucky enough to be chosen, I have a large, high-res version. This is resized for web use

No plans for them. When I get a chance, I'll pm you with some pics of them. If I remember right, there might have been a repair on one of them, but like I said, I'll get you some pics.

Re: Chimera: Getting There...the Green Monster Well, I think this bike needs a new name...it's changed...it's got a different vibe to it now. Its new name is Gravedancer

Re: Chimera: Getting There...the Green Monster Snapped a couple of pics at lunch and played with photobucket's edit tools...

Re: Chimera: Getting There...the Green Monster put on some SERIOUS apes tonight...

12k views...seems pretty legit. I think it's safe to call you the king of customs! Beautiful work!!

Re: Chimera: Gettign There...the Green Monster Swapped the chain ring with a Schwinn one (much nicer looking than the one from the Empire), and made some filler panels out of license plates. These were newer plates, so I hit them with a worn out flap disc on my grinder, soaked them in a mix of...

Re: Chimera Chopper: Changes...the Green Monster So, I finally ordered a wheel to do a 24x3 rear tire. Then decided to make a few other changes... ...not sure how far I'm going with this, but I think these are improvements and are moving it in the direction I had originally imagined for...

My buddy spotted this at a pawn shop where he goes to school. A few calls later and my brother-in-law was picking it up for me! My sister came to our town and just dropped it off to me! Gotta love when things work out! I haven't had time to go over it, have some homework assignments to...

Changed out the rear tire for a larger one that filled up the fender a lot better... Old chain guard rubbed on the new tire, so I modified a 24" breeze guard I had to fit the 20" frame Exercise bike speedo...classic! Plus, now I know how hard I'm working! lol Going to change some decals...

I've been making some little changes as of late...pics to come!

Thanks! I really love how the paint's worn down to this gold and burnt orange color. It's like no two parts are exactly the same color, but it looks just sweet! There's a few chips and it looks like the factory painted over a chrome frame. If the paint wasn't in such good shape, I might consider...

It's the "Weekend of Wheels" in my town this weekend, and that means the annual swap meet at the fairgrounds. Found this beauty in a trailer sandwiched in a bunch of women's bikes. It's a Skyrider Deluxe. It's got a Bendix B2 on the brake arm, so it's probably around a '64 from what I've...

Looks like the bike...guess I have the front fender and chain guard for a Columbia 3-Star Deluxe as well! They're not in as good of shape as the tank is, but they're all there. Thanks for the knowledge!

Here is the inspiration for my next bike. I got it from a co-worker with some other parts... I don't have a clue what it's from, but it looks great! I will be building a bike for it since I don't have one that it fits
