    jesse james bike

    are you buying it to get 24" wheels, or do you want to end up with 24" wheel on whatever you do with it? it comes with 20' wheels, but you can get a 24" on the back if you hang it right on the ends of the drop outs. and if you're saying you're going to cut it up, a little trimming and sliding...

    When they come to my tattoo shop....

    there's a cafe or something in the trendy part of town like that. you can ride by and there'll be harley's and puch scooters and everything in bettween parked in front of it. it's not where i ride my bike though, but i've always thought it would be a good pic if i could stick it in the row of...

    The anti-klunk? (Show us your urban bombers!)

    a while back there was this car trend where you took a bigger personal luxury type car (grand prix, monte carlo, etc) and made a hot rod out of it. they called them gentleman's hotrods. your's could be a gentleman's klunker

    West Coast Cheese Head... Finally given to its Owner

    Re: West Coast Cheese Head...AKA "Stretched Jesse" if you find the 24" rear wheel, you can still get a 3" tire on it with a little trimmimg, and sliding the dropouts down a little bit.

    Gravity racer - Calling all daredevils!

    is it longer than the 50" wheelbase they were mentioning before? if it is, are you just not worrying about it any more from where you mentioned there's no sanctioning body anymore? hey, also, is that a fork off a 20" bike? if it is is there any way to make them stiffer? i used one on mine and...

    Gravity racer - Calling all daredevils!

    the first test run i did on mine i did at about 1 in the morning. can't say it's that bright of an idea though, but i had it at work doing some stuff to it, got off at midnight and just wanted to try it.

    Show us your bags!

    there was another thread not too long ago i stuck all mine in, but i think i've done this one since then the rack bolts on, then the bag attatches to the rack. sort of like one i made for my main rider, only i can take the bag off easier and without the rack. the holder and bag are bolted...

    "The Money Shot" *added a 3 speed*

    Re: My first stretch haven't been to builds much so i'm just seeing this. looks good. for handlebars, i just keep an eye out on ebay and try to get the measurements from the seller. for the way my bikes end up, if they say the pull back is at least 14" they usually work for me. the last...

    the under top tube occ chopper seat post clamp?

    see? y'all need to answer faster, or else you leave suzzzy as my only consultant. she's always gonna vote for cutting truthfully, i was asking, but i'd already figured it was my only option. turned out to be easy. took less time than the time bettween these two posts. i probaly need to splash...

    the under top tube occ chopper seat post clamp?

    has anyone done that on a bike themselves? you know, how the seat tube has a slit under the top tube and that's where the clamp is. i'm considering doing that. i've made a new seat for my main rider, but it ended up sitting just a bit too high. the only solution i'm seeing so far, is to cut...

    Anyone else ride Longboards

    i went back and forth over the years bettween bikes, skateboards and rollerskates. still have most all of my old skateboard stuff, but it's probaly the thing i've been way from longest. i figure a longboard in the truck might make good emergency vehicle, or maybe something to pull out when i...

    Anyone else ride Longboards

    like a skateboard? i keep considering it. i've got some nice wheels and trucks on an old water ski i made years and years back but, all i used it for is moving heavy things around the house. now the ski is cracked, so i'm thinking about looking for a cheap 36-40" board to put them on and maybe...

    2 bikes into 1... tandem build?

    i have skateboard (or really inline) wheels on a couple of my stretches and i don't feel or hear them, but that could be because they're on the slack side without a lot of tension on them. if you get too far out of line on them though, like trying to force the chain to clear the frame or...

    2 bikes into 1... tandem build?

    i did that on mine, but i get a bit of chain interference. it could be because i'm using a front freewheel sprocket as the joining sprocket (so the rear rider doesn't have to pedal. was gonna use two but one had messed up threads). it seems to have more play than a regular fixed sprocket and...

    2 bikes into 1... tandem build?

    i'm trying it now and have this problem. for me though it was kind of intentional and i may wish i had added a few more inches. the original idea was to use a king/queen motorcycle seat, but it put the two riders way too close, so i split them up, but still tried to keep them as close together...
