Though I'd love to post some pictured of the work I've done today, I sadly can't... My camera broke down :(. But on the other hand, it wasn't that much. I won't be posting something for a couple af weeks, because we're going to the Great Dordet Steam Fair and the Shrewsbury steam fair. So I'll...

Ik heb ze inderdaad al gezien, maar ik zoek niet echt chopper onderdelen. Ik wil juist die 20' look, dus dat wordt waarschijnlijk improviseren en zelf maken. Die winkels zijn trouwens niet echt in de buurt, aangezien ik in de achterhoek woon... Ik denk dat ik anders beter in Duitsland kan...

It does not work on all materials, the trick was actually thought of to clean silver. But it works on a lot of other materials too, but sometimes not... It works really well for when your material is dull.

I'm starting the build of my first bike, and I might as well do it right. So I've decided to make it a Board Track Racer. Here's a link to the build page http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/beach-cruiser-to-board-track-racer.86111/

Okay, thanks.

Well, before this becomes the page to discuss the rest of the build, here's a link to the freshly made build page. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/beach-cruiser-to-board-track-racer.86111/

Starting on my first build right now, I've already found a suitable bike for the build. I wanted to make a sort of Board Track Racer that was re-purposed as a street racer in the 50'. It will look and have the components of a 20' racer, but with the paint techniques of the 50'. Sort of a early...

I'm I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what I'm supposed to do on the intro page. Could anyone explain this to me?

There are a few things that you can do without acids or other nasty stuff that will mess up your material. You can put it in boiling water with some salt (about 3 spoons) and strips of alluminium foil, or you can put it a night in lemon juice, but I reccomend vinegar becuase it has the same...

Well, this made me want such a bike even more... But I probably can't make one so beautiful... Then again, the cars in the back explain a lot. I am probably going to make one out of a beach cruiser (Other models are VERY hard to come by in the Netherlands, especially on the cheap). I'm still...

Great as those are, the thing is that I want to do most of it myself and preferably from scratch or even better, re-use other materials or parts... So I like Mikeeebike's idea better. Sorry

By the way..., I'm quite a big fella, so this might not work then, but I'll give it a try.

Thanks a lot! Most defenetly helpful.

I was inspired by this picture. I also want to do a bike like this. Sort of a 1920" racer that was rebuilt in the 50" As you can see, the seat is moved further to the back, wich was common amongst the Daytona racers. Speaking about Daytona Racers, mine will most defenetly have the longer...

That is a great idea! Simple yet functional. This is why I made an account here, I have been thinking about how to do this for weeks now, and you come along with such a simple solution of wich I haven't even thought.

I've seen some people move their seats further to the back above the fenders... I can't think of a proper way to do this myself. I think I should make custom parts?
