I concur.

Nice! I wanna build a motorized bike.

Nice job! I'm a big sucker for ape hangers.

Awesome build and it's nice that you were able to get your pictures uploaded. I was sweating bullets tonight trying to down-select my photos and get them uploaded before the deadline.

I had a couple of vacations get in the way during July, and I did some slacking. I didn't get the chainguard and seat finished until yesterday.

NICE!!! That's where I went to take photos for my entry in the #7 build-off, however I don't think that I had to drive as far. I left at about 4 am to get there for the sunrise and I was back home by about noon. Nice build.

I'm not sure. We pulled up at about 6:00 am and they were building the fire. We got a few photos, but they didn't turn out they way I wanted. While we shot pictures, we were able to watch them get everything prepared. We stopped by again before we left and it was heating up and all of the...

Thanks, I was able to get my other photos uploaded. Thanks, that panoramic picture was taken with a camera phone. I uploaded a few more photos from that dirty alley.

I really enjoyed the build this year. I was able to accomplish several ideas that I've had in my head for a while. I hope that you enjoy the pictures. Click below to view my build link. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/rusty-n-crusty-done.83307/

I was actually thinking the same thing yesterday, and the frame kinda blends with the wood floor.

I'm calling it done. I clear coated the chain guard, fabricated a mount, and I installed it today. I finished the cover for my seat this morning. I packed the bottom bracket with grease, installed the fenders, mounted the tires, installed the wheels, made all of my final adjustments and I'm...

I started my chain guard when I started the bike, but I finally made some good progress on my chain guard yesterday. We'll have to see if I still like it when I get done. I'm running out of time so it will somewhat limit my options. Anyways, I purchased some expanded metal from the local...

I've been working on my chain guard, I'll try and post some pictures tomorrow.

Well, since it's the last minute I guess that I should get back on my project. I had a few family vacations and other crap sidetrack me. Last week, my wife and I visited the ghost town of Bodie, CA. I would say that I found my project for next year, however, it's missing one leg on the rear...

I also really need to clean my bike room, there's too much bike clutter in the background of my pictures.

I'm moving on with the wheels for now. Earlier, I painted my front wheel orange because I thought that would look good on the bike. After I finished rusting and clear coating the frame, I didn't like the orange wheel anymore. I'm not happy with the original bare aluminum wheel color either...

Thanks for the suggestion. My results end up either being rusted or not, I haven't been able to get a different shade or tone of rust. I also clear coated the frame, so I'd have to strip everything off to do it again.

Looks great, nice work. I dig the beard, it almost makes me miss mine.

I'm really struggling with colors now. Bare metal looks cool. I really like the deep rich color of the rust with the clear coat. I'm not liking the color combination of the bare metal and rust. I prepared an extra piece of tubing to test colors, but I'm just not feeling it. Any suggestions?
