Hey guys, I'm going to be in LA on vacation from Australia for a week and hope to visit a few bike shops and go home with some parts that are difficult to find and overpriced in OZ. All we see here in Oz is mountain bikes and roadracers so even the most basic stuff for cruisers and lowriders...

Bad news - I'll have to bow out of the buildoff. Bike is in my shead and I am in New York, 10000 miles apart, and I will not be back home until late August so i will not make the buildoff deadline. If the Catsnatcher can be moved to the regular build threads, I'll keep it going there. In the...

Dang... here I was thinking that I could quietly slip onto page 4 without anyone noticing. Very little progress with the bike ( more progress with other stuff I have to do ) Cleaned up a cruiser bar, sprayed a little primer and done some research into etching a badge.... no pics. Oh.... and...

Come on guys... lets be serious, you all know the compressor is not going to be part of the build. But a twin sprocket unicycle with apes sure looks interesting.

Since I see much rust in my future, I'm just keeping it in stead of dumping it.

Damn this weather... down here in the southern hemisphere it's winter, hitting freezing temps overnight... right now it's 4 C/40 F ...AND ... a few hours ago there was a 5.2 earthquake 50 Miles form my house. Anyways, it's waaaay too cold and wet to paint, so I have been working on making some...

BBQ, weatherboards, Gemini with Commodore vents...... my guess you are a fellow aussie?

I'll smuggle one out of Oz and mail it from LA.

So... you don't want my crunchie? Thanks, but there is no chance of winning, just in it for the fun. Not much more time.... on July 18 I'll be on a plane to NYC, and before then, I'll be crazy busy at work, we have an engagement party for my daughter, have to build/finish a bunch of Kustom...

Cat Snatcher Thanks for all the suggestions for a name for this build, guys. I am going to keep it as close to the spirit of the Tarrantino truck as I can, so Kingfish254 wins a for his PM submitted suggestion "Cat Snatcher" Bought some old bits for it yesterday, progress will take place. Oz

Re: Need a name that won't get me banned :o) Thanks.... glad to be onboard. Well... the truck is one of the stars of the "Kill Bill 1" movie, and I don't recall many kitty cats being rescued in that movie :lol:

New member, new to bike building, late starter and hope to be an early finisher. I'm going to throw another 20 incher into the buildoff fray. Bought it on eBay here in Oz, advertised as a vintage BMX, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. Bought a cheapy department store kids bike for parts...

The "collecting/hoarding" is not an Aussie thing, it's a gender thing! We collect, they say we hoard ( I wish I still had that big bucket of nuts, bolts and bits and bobs she convinced me to sell in a yard sale 20 years ago, that'll teach me! ) Good tip on the tip, gotta go check some out...

New member here from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Used to ride as a kid, but took a 25 year break until my wife told me I was getting too fat (work at a desk all day, drive to/from work) and to find a way to get some excercise that I liked. Didn't take me long to decide that getting back...
