Re: The TENDERIZER - the ugly, the bad, and the good Thank you all for the kind words. lol yes of course the first thing I had to do when I got home was weigh this thing. It comes in around 33lbs., not too bad. And it rides surprisingly smooth. I rode it several miles this weekend and I'm glad...

Re: Sir Loin of Beef Looking VERY nice!!!! And I might add, you get my vote for the best name.

Re: The TENDERIZER - the ugly, the bad, and the good Grips, take two. With the bars chopped down (from the previous grip attempt), I welded in some smaller diameter tubing Sanded with some progressively finer sandpaper until it got a nice shine, and then I clear coated the ends...

Re: The TENDERIZER - the ugly, the bad, and the good okay, so I feel like a total lame-o ...I just remembered that the due date for this build-off isn't until August 2nd. For some reason I kept thinking June 2nd, and I was busting my butt trying to get this thing finished last week while I was...

Re: The TENDERIZER - wheels, cranks, pedals complete :lol: :lol: :lol: haha I can imagine accidentally popping tires and gouging shins. Especially after a few drinks on the boardwalk! Maybe I should have my friends wear shin guards when we go riding?

Re: Black Coffee (Updates 5/28) wow those grips are awesome!

Re: The TENDERIZER - wheels, cranks, pedals complete hahahaha medieval is a great description! Thank you Galtbacken...I feel like I should ride it wielding a shield and a big spiked club :mrgreen: I do have a couple more tricks up my sleeve. I think I may be able to post some more tonight...

Re: The TENDERIZER - wheels, cranks, pedals complete Thanks to socal_jack for the input on the spike selection on the pedals. Although I really liked the 'less is more' approach with only 5 spikes, I really wanted a truly nasty look with ALL of the spikes. socal_jacks suggestion gave me the...

Re: BILLET BULLIT (a bracket for my bracket...) may 26th Anxious to see every new pic you put up. Everything looks incredible!

Re: The TENDERIZER - more paint... I'm not too sure about this paint scheme for the wheels. I guess I'll have to wait to mount them to really get a feel for how I like 'em. But either way I'm not going to paint them again, so I guess I'm stuck :o

Re: The TENDERIZER - masking tape wreaths and spokesicles wow bring.doom, that's quite a compliment. Much thanks! I'm also happy just to be a part of this. Watching all of these old (and not so old) bikes turn into incredible creations is really fascinating, and a ton of fun!

Re: The TENDERIZER - masking tape wreaths and spokesicles I've been contemplating what to do with the wheels for quite a while. Decided to put them off until now. But they are finally hanging and painted.

The seat! The wheels! Very cool looking!! more more more

Re: The TENDERIZER - name change - (Horny Horner) Well I've decided to change the name...since there won't be any horns on this build as originally thought. Plus the name just has a great 'ring' to match the look of the pedals ;) First ride, first blood - I finally took it out for the first...

Re: The Horny Horner - 5/23 - head badge That is a GREAT idea! grrrrrrrrrrr! I'd been looking for a 3-speed wheelset since the very start of this thing but I got too busy to keep up with the ebay listings. And I was trying to think how to make a cool shifter. Well, when I eventually do get a...

Re: Stripped & Teased: Updated 5/15 That tank looks beautiful!

Re: The Horny Horner - 5/23 - head badge Unfortunately that's the only one I have. I knew I should've bought one for the house :? You can find them easily on ebay for around $6. I searched forever to find one that was old and rusted and beat up but couldn't find one, so I bought it new. It...

Re: The Horny Horner - 5/23 - head badge Thank you very much! This gets more exciting every day, especially with everyone's cool comments. And watching all of the other bikes progress a little every day keeps me motivated. karfer67, the color is Rust-Oleum Dark Bronze Metallic. I personally...
