Yikes, it took a while to decide! I looked through all of them with my wife and she helped me narrow it down to 5 or 6 then I took it from there and nope, I didn't vote for myself! I broke down to three categories for myself: #1: something clean and simple (no frills, extra add-ons etc.). #2...

Dude, this is a sweet bike! I love the rear fender checker work and that seat! Well done...

Thanks for the compliments guys. Oceanside is one of our favorite spots too! Right after I posted the pics, I noticed that the front wheel looks small, but it's the same size: 26". The rear fender is off an Electra and it's too wide for the frame and a little big for the wheel, I think that...

My deadline was our six year anniversary and I made it... scrambled at the last second for a front fender brace and still needs a matching one on the back, but for now I'm calling it done. A few things the pics don't pick up: 1. The seat is my pride and joy! Thanks to Sean for the idea and it's...

Dude, this bike is killer! I love the post/seat combo and the "antiquing" is incredible! Good Luck, you have my vote so far!

LOL! Actually, good excuse: I was out of country for a while, but yikes! I guess I need to check it out a little more carefully... Thanks!

Some finally did it! There's a mag out now for cruiser fans... all cruise, no road, mtn, fixie or BMX! Not that there's anything wrong with those, of course... I swung by my LBS in Tempe, AZ and saw a copy on a mag rack. Shocked, I picked it up and started leafing through when the mechanic...

Love this bike, dude! Well done... particularly dig the color. Looks good!

Beach Picnic Pic update 6/26 Well, finally done the base paint now all I need is the clear coat. Got the wheels done and I love how they turned out! I had to cut all my checkers myself out of old stickers I had in my collection... painstaking, but hey, the finished product is pretty sweet...

Sweet parts list dude! I'm jealous :mrgreen: ... I think my favorite are those little bee lights. Way cool...

Thanks Stretch! That's a way faster way than my current plan... hopefully mine will show up half as nice! :| Thanks again...

My Fink and my wife's Twiggy...

Re: Beach Picnic (finally some good progress!) Well, over the course of a month I got to work on the Picnic about 3 days! Sucks, but my wife is pregnant with our first and it's been a doozy of a pregnancy... In any case, I finally started my "teacher summer" and here's the first three days of...

Re: Greaser 5/12 update So far, this looks killer! I love the rear rack, well done! Where did you find that seat?

Well, ever since I started cruising around this site, I thought about how much I'd love to build something and maybe even do it in a build off. No joke, the day I took apart a $20 Craigslist find was May 1st! So, as I posted in my intro not too long ago, my wife recently gave me the thumbs up to...

Thanks for all the greetings! I finally got my pics up and since I joined I bought two bikes for $20! One is an old cruiser (make unknown) step through so my wife will get the first build... the other is a 70's Raleigh Three speed with a sweet Brooks saddle. I may just turn around and resell...

Hey all, my name's Joey and I'm a Canadian lost in the deserts of Arizona. I just recently got the thumbs up from my beautiful wife to start building and painting some two wheelers, so I'm pretty stoked. For now my rides are pretty simple; my wife has an Electra Twiggy (stock) and I ride either...
