    Well it's DONE except for the pinstripes....that was supposed to be done last night but my guy got caught up on another automotive project and I don't blame him for seeing it through....I'm sure it was much more lucrative than striping a bike! When I get home from work today he wants me to give...

    Progress....I should have taken more pics but I was anxious to get in there! 116_1082 by Nesto2008, on Flickr

    Thanks for the compliment! These ARE cool frames, I used to have a 1st gen Rat Fink that now belongs to a good friend of mine, it'll be nice to have something similar again. This thing should be coming together real soon and I think I've even locked on a local pinstriper....can't wait! Probably...

    Well the wheels were built last weekend, about two days prior to the start of the official RRBO so I don't have TOO much of a headstart. I'm gonna continue as planned :mrgreen:

    Yeah, farming out is the issue at hand but I'm glad I've already generated some interest! Like I said I'm not looking to compete, I just want to get active on the forum again and document this build. It's gonna come together in the next few weeks, WAY before August. I built up my wheels before...

    Acquired a slightly neglected Electra Jeremy last week, stripped it of its parts, and I'm down to this. As I said in the Build Off Discussion, I know I'm DQ'd from the competition because I'm gonna go the powdercoat route but I'd still love to share my first build here. It's gonna be pretty...

    BUILD OFF #7 DISCUSSION

    I JUST started a build and although I'm DQ'd since I'm powdercoating, rather than painting myself, I'd like to post by build diary anyway....I doubt I'd win but I'd love to share. Is that cool?

    Felt Bicycle Pics

    I think the Deep Six is cool, but WAY too high priced for a single speed....I'd rather have another Electra at that price point. They only made 200 Shelbys, correct? I've seen one foe sale in Pacific Beach, it was cool but I think most of them will go to well heeled customers who also own...

    STOLEN Boney Finger in Pacific Beach CA

    Nah, that one's not mine, I saw it on eBay as well, but thanks though. It took me a while to post anything here about it because I couldn't access the site, I misplaced my password. Hope for finding the bike is fading, but there are good people out there, so you never know, right?

    STOLEN Boney Finger in Pacific Beach CA

    I agree, I think it has probably been painted. It still has some distinctive features that should make it stand out no matter what color it now is, and I would take it back, no matter how molested.

    STOLEN Boney Finger in Pacific Beach CA

    It was locked up next to Ralph's grocery store in PB, using a cheapo cable lock that belonged to my friend. I'm buying a GOOD lock for the future. If there are any sightings, the last four of the serial number is 8090. My email is [email protected] and my phone number is 928 276 1567. Thanks...

    Felt Bicycle Pics

    Has anyone seen Felt's 2012 page yet? Looks like they've got a new hydroform frame coming....I'm REALLY interested in the new "Deep Six" model; sad to see the Revolver isn't there though....

    Thanks again for keeping an eye out.

    STOLEN Boney Finger in Pacific Beach CA

    Some of you may be familiar with my Boney Finger as I have tons of pics posted in the Electra Bikes gallery; it had a lot of customization, most notably, the Bendix jockey shifter. Unfortunately someone cut the lock and stole it when I was visiting Pacific Beach (San Diego) in July. If any SoCal...

    "Flying Sue"

    I hate you (jk!). I had this same look envisioned for my own Flying Sue if I ever got one, then they went and discontinued them. I was also gonna add a Monarch up front. I love the bullet hole decals as well! Someday I'll get a Zarape....LOVE those tank bikes!

    NEW BELGIUM BREWERY BIKES!!!!!!!

    I know it's not THE New Belgium rack but the Gamoh cargo rack looks excellent....if I had a bike, ANY bike that needed a big front rack, this would be the one I'd buy. The NBB Cruiser was born to do beer runs and this thing is just the ticket. Plus it has a built in bottle opener. I wish mine...
