"Killer build" Luke, I have always been a sucker for the loop tails ! As always your fab skills are shining through . Mark

sounds like me lately .....well the "gets tired quick" part anyhow !:21::agree:

Its been my experience that not to many bikes will take a 26x3 tire without some stretching of the stays though I have found some CWC and Colson frames that took them without a problem, just some gentle messaging . Here @ Rat Rod Bikes we make the sheet feet:grin: Mark

Cool frame and parts , I'll follow along on this ride. Mark

Never seen one but I like it just because it's odd ! Mark

looks like a run of the mill SCHWINN , I'll follow along ! no purist here this is Rat Rod Bikes. Mark

I would drive 4 hrs. to get to that bike shop without batting an eye ! Some cool stuff hanging around in there. Mark

Cool videos and isn't Joe Breeze such a humble guy , I grew up in the southern end of the Bay Area and only a hand full of my friends would ride the local trails on bicycles...to much like work pushing that bike uphill to the top of Mission Peak just to bomb back down ! I think the most fun I...

"Very Cool", Ron your gallery takes me back to my younger days building and riding choppers ! So just wondering is the bike your riding the wheelie on based on a mixte frame ? Its so cool ! :cool2::cool2::cool2: Mark

ratrodz, as you can tell by the # of responses we have a lot of fans of the X53 and your bike just oozes "Cool" ! You did an excellent job on the build....Congrats ! Mark

Very cool bikes in class 2 , though be it a small group I would ride everyone of them ! Great job guys :rockout::113: Mark

I was thinking the same thing Crash ! Wow what a fantastic group of bikes in this build off, my hats off to all the builders !:cool2::113: Mark

Its true the first reproduction Monarch forks were junk but the newer version is built much better and having the disc caliper mount is the reason some are using them on the motorized bikes. I've been wanting to get one myself. Mark

Ya know I am a rat rodder at heart but of all the step though frames that is one that should not be modified ...yes some times the purist in me comes out ! A Durailium :43::43::43: Mark

Great starting point, I built up one of those Hawthorne badged Rollfast frames a few years back ! It was a cool little bike ! Mark

Never used that paint and probably never will as I have found that it doesn't matter what kind of paint it is, if comes out of a rattle can it not going to be durable so why pay 20+ bucks a can when a can of krylon for 5 bucks will do the same thing ... just can't get the color I want sometimes...

Cool , I think you will find several Eliminator fans around to follow this build....including me ! Mark

Great bike to start with for a big boy muscle bike, reminds me of this Spitfire I did back in the early 90s ! Mark

Great starting point and I believe that is a mid 70s AMF built frame badged as a Western Flyer ! I'll follow along. Mark

Ok you knew this was coming and I know some of you are just chompin' at the bit to get started Some inspiration from Christmas past
