    $5 specials

    Hey, ten bucks for two bikes...SCORE!!!!!!!! I would take the tires, wheels, sprockets and derailer and put them on something old and cool...just to do it. Then I would take it out into the woods and wail on it:-)

    Flux wire welding

    I bought some harbor freight welding wire and had nothing but problems. Thought all wire would be the same, guess I was wrong. Went to NAPA and bought Firewire and although I'm not a welder, I was able to get a more consistan puddle.

    Sounds like you're gonna a fit right in....by all means, hang out for a bit and enjoy the hobby. Haven't met any snobs yet...unless you count the rust snobs ( we may have a few, but they're pretty cool). Now, go to the dump, get your tools out and get back to your roots and cobble something...

    RoadMaster - discussion

    As far as talking about my builds, I see your point.....I would much rather talk about my Rat, or either of my daughters original bikes. BUT, no way was I going to turn down these parts...they look great and the price was so right, plus it was still fun to cobble them together.

    Best classic-looking saddle for <$75?

    In the last 6 weeks, I bought two used Brooks B72's, both were under $50.00 each. One in better shape than the other but both well worth the $$. Worth being patient and scouring RRC.Com and The Cabe. Lots of great deals. If the price is too steep you can always make an offer...worst they...

    Really! I built a 1958 Harley FLH and was told reproduction parts reduced the value. I did aftermarket fenders, handlebars, pistons, bearings, valves and valve springs. Original fenders were just ridicules so I went aftermarket

    Hey Big Ape, as stated earlier, I'm an original part guy but in this case I'm pretty OK with the look so all is good for me...and I'm having fun putting it together...when done I suggested I would keep it as a spare but who knows....maybe possible trade material for a Zeppelin frame ☺ who hoooo...

    I'm with you brother, thanks for your thougts....had no intentions of starting get a new project (certainly have plenty) but this one fell into my lap. In the same time frame that I purchased the bike a RRB member parted out a Reproduction Roadmaster. His prices were right so I initially...
