I think Monstermetal did something similar on the RRBBO3 winner 'Madd Hammer': viewtopic.php?f=25&t=9792

I worked as a warranty manager for a major bike company and from what I've seen over 3 years, aluminium is pretty hard to kill. The ones that I have seen that were destroyed usually involved a pretty substantial fork-first drop onto a hard surface (I'm talking 20+ feet). The frame looks pretty...

This was my perfect city/commuting bike, great for any weather (even Toronto winters). Reynolds 631 steel frame, carbon forks, hydraulic disk brakes. Unfortunately since I got laid off in the s[ring it was the odd-bike-out and had to go. If I was to build up another one I would go with the...

The convertible bike/grocery cart is pure genius... http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/contest ... dMahan.htm

That's definitely my favourite as far as absolute mad skill goes :)

I have something similar to the hair dryer method. I take the whole bar/stem off and put the end into a large pot of boiling water for a few minutes. It softens the rubber grip enough to slide it off and does a good job if there is any glue/rust on there as well. It also works well if you are...

Just found this story on the inter-web: http://www.erockit.net/en/ http://www.videosift.com/video/E-Rocket ... it-s-quick Apparently the electric motor increases your pedal power by 50x enabling you to drive at 80km/hr. Looks kinda Rattish too. Now, I just have to find $40,000 kicking around...

Wow, really nice work, it's looking great so far. Very clean.

I love the quote: "Metalwork is dangerous. You will hurt yourself. How bad is up to you"

Wow ,an amazing build, I can't stop looking at it. Great photography too!

Love the colour combination, great looking bike. Well done :)

Before I finally got a proper stand, I always put the seatpost and seat in the frame and then hooked the nose of the seat over the beam in my basement. It gets the frame up to a decent work height and is pretty stable. I find that if you put the bike together by fork, rear wheel, front wheel...

Still a prototype according to the website, no brakes either. Really cool concept if he could get either a shaft drive or belt drive to work with it. http://www.eyetohand.com/foldingbike_image1_2009.html Some really interesting stuff on his website, check out the anti-theft bikelock...

How much 'slack' do you have in the chains on your bikes? I know that when I have the chain tension way too tight on my fixie then I get a 'cracking/clunking' sound in the chain links when I pedal. Even newer chainrings are not perfectly round most of the time and older one piece cranks have a...

I'm running IE8, Firefox, Opera and SeaMonkey on my winxp machine and I'm not having any problems, it must be an earlier version of IE. Just to throw in my 2c, I love the fact that I can go on the site with my kids and know that they will be able to appreciate all the great work here without...

Wow, that's insane! Great flames on the tank, well done :)

From the RRBB0 3, Gas Pipe special, still going strong as my new daily rider. I had a bike accident at the beginning of summer and tore the muscles in the small of my back so no more tall seat posts and low bars for a while (and definitely no fixies or rigid carbon fiber frames either). I made...

Amazing photos Dan!

Two amazing bikes!

Man, I need to get me one of those... or build a copy at least :)
