Roadwarrior's dual rear-brake setup on Ramcharger. Dang-sticks, I've never seen that before. Cool!

I feel your pain. It's not 110 here in Florida, but it's hitting the low 90's. Our "100" is the % humidity. Just standing in the open garage, fiddling with little pieces makes me drip sweat like I ran a marathon. Disgusting but true.

Holy Schneikeys, that frame is sexy!

Those dropouts look like alligator head silhouettes from this angle!

They make metal blades for jigsaws? (thinking...) Hey, *I* have a jigsaw!! :D

How have I not seen this build so far? This is cool!

Oh man! If this turns out like your sketch, it'll be wicked cool...and it looks like it's going there already!

That's pretty cool looking. I'd vote for a copper finish -- with green verdigris if you can manage it.

All right, I'm into the FUN stuff now! IMG_20150621_153139472 by Nick, on Flickr Let's start with the crummy, brown seat. Well, it's a Persons, so it's not crummy, really. Just brown. And grungy. So some scrubbing with Meguiarerrer's (?) auto interior cleaner stuff, and some vinyl dye...

Oh my God. I was the absolute LAST thread on page 5! :oops: How many sammiches do I have to start making? :blush: IMG_20150620_165056619 by Nick, on Flickr But...after today's run to Ace Hardware, the LBS, Advane Auto Parts and Michael's Crafts I have everything I need to finish the...

I don't think I've EVER heard that phrase before...:eek:

Didn't actually work on the bike today, but spent time with a Rebel Rider IPA in one hand and a series of small parts in the other, staring at the frame and planning out how I'm going to make things like brakes and shifters functional. The tough part comes from the differences between the donor...

LOL, I know, right!? I think I'm past the teardown-clean-and-strip phase, finally, and into painting and reassembling.

Spent time this morning working on "smalls." More wire brush and chrome polish on bars, stem, seat post, brake levers, etc. IMG_20150613_105858055 by Nick, on Flickr Also disassembled the brake calipers and took off the rust. I could kick myself -- I can't find the back brake for Evie's...

I didn't know that "vintage mtb" was even a thing. I ride around on a 1988-ish mtb that we've owned since, oh, 1988-ish...and I thought it was just old. :D

'Nother hour or so in the garage...wire wheel, some chrome polish, and presto -- shiny wheels. So on went the new tires. IMG_20150612_185955990 by Nick, on Flickr And now that it's on its wheels and we can visualize better, Evie and I brainstormed on the paint scheme.

That. Is. &@#%. #€*@$. WICKED!!

I wanna come in 5th, now...

Hey, my oldest girl's up your way with her Girl Scout troop...so...like, tell Savannah to keep it classy while they're there. ;)

What the what?! :eek:
