    Montain Bike conversion /w decisions

    So I was going to make a quick build w/ parts on hand,or so I thought. Mt. bike frame with simple bar welded on like I had done on the Black and Tan. I would have sworn that I had a 24" rear wheel which is why almost a year ago I bought a 24 x 3.0 to go on it. A nice Rat trap springer and a set...

    WW2 Military Bike Pics

    I used these. They kinda have that high rise to them.They were bought at a LBS though I'm not sure which one. This build did not start off as a military bike but when finished sure looked like one to me.

    Burrito Build (progress pics)

    Yep, I knew it would be too long for practical purposes. I cut down around 14" which meant the stance was different so the bottom metal needed rebent. I was going to carry the arc of the top tube down, but then I noticed the nice curves the old donor bike had so I used that metal. The chainstays...

    HOW TO BUILD A JIG

    I needed to come up with a basic inexpensive jig to make my next Burrito build a little more precise than "hows that look?" and ''hold this while I tack it". I had always thought the unistrut idea would be a good way to go,mostly because of the adjustments that could be made. On this I used 6"...

    Headed to Memphis then to Highway 61

    I'm leaving early in the morning. Flying to Little Rock then driving to Memphis.I doubt I would have time for a bike ride even if I had access to one. The Ground Zero Club is on my itenerary as well as the blues museum and the Cat Head Blues Shop.Should be an awesome experience. 8)

    duck valve caps

    Make your own. Find very small duck figure or head and drill out the bottom and glue a generic cap in it.The dollar store would be a good place to look. :idea:

    Quick sellers

    Within the last 2 weeks I bought a part from a new member with less than 50 posts and almost all were under the for sale thread. The only reason I did it was he had paypal and I really wanted that tank. :lol: . I was happy with the fast shipping and packing. I think pics and paypal should be...
