Re: Seawall Cruiser Love that first pic and how you got Sprockets in the background. I LOVE that bike shop. I live out near Katy,Tx so it's a bit of a haul but Matt and the crew out there are awesome and I love their boneyard. I'll probably have to go out there to find stuff for my build...

Re: '81 Le Tour Tourist – no theme My internet took a crap on me here at the house so I'm attempting to update using my phone. This is surprisingly hard. So I didnt really get to do much today toward the build except scrub some paint off one my parts.  Here's a pic of the parts I have. The...

Hi all... I've been following this site for about eight months or so and finally decided to join the forum last night after viewing the progress of a few of the Build Offs. I know, I know I shoulda done it sooner... but I've always kept a stiff arm to commitment. :D Like most I've been...

Seeing your pics pushed me to go ahead and join the forum. I did that tonight. I've been following this site for about eight or so months but never thought I'd have the nerve to try and do a build off. Well, I have a LeTour also. The frame and scattered parts have been in the garage taunting me...
