Thanks for emailing me. I have already done shows for the "regular" bike clubs in Dallas and was very disappointed. There hasn't been anything in the way of the type of bikes we ride and build, just the road racing guys and the regular bicycle clubs. I will be very glad to join the ride. My wife...

Thanks for messaging me. I'm in if there's enough interest. I've tried this for 2 yrs to no avail. I've got a post on this same thing in "clubs" also. I have a garage full of full blown customs & after riding alone for 2 yrs, I recently bought another dirt bike & I'm going back to motocross...

Thanks wimpy. It's been cool making something out of bikes that were either getting thrown out or had been sitting around for yrs because no one else wanted them. Then transforming them into something people really like. The first day I got it back together and went down the street, I got 2...

Thanks! :D

Well, it's done.

It's basically just drilling the two of them and bolting them together. Put your spare rim up against the drive wheel, line them up as close as possible then use some vice grips to lock them together. After that, center punch the inside of one rim all the way around about one to 1 1/4 inches...

Since last post, got most of the paint stripped off, remounted jockey shift at an angle I like better got the rear gears adjusted, front and rear brakes working and took it out for it's first test ride! I could tell before I got to the end of the first block, I'm definitely doing more of these...

Yes, it's true, most casual Dallas bike rides are bar hopping & even the last show I did, there was free beer supplied by a local bar. Almost everyone there was drinking but my wife and I. My wife doesn't drink and I rarely do. But, there's no way I'd even consider drinking and riding. I have...

I've been building custom bikes in Plano for about a year and a half now. I have to say, the custom scene around here (from what I've seen) is more than dismal. I did the Garland show last October & was invited to Dallas shows this year (which I just did) & I have only met one other person doing...

Thanks! That was my first complete custom build & I just rebuilt the whole thing about 3 weeks ago. I got invited to do the Dallas Cycle Style fashion show with some of my bikes. I stripped that one down to the bare frame, capped some tubes ends off, re-did the bottom bracket bearings, brazed on...

Thanks guys. I'll have to check out some more of your home made wide tire stuff Luke, thanks for the links. I have other builds on here too. I think you can check my "users posts". Thanks Junknutz. Yes, while most of my usual stuff is 90 to 95% new steel, it has made me feel good re-using...

This latest build is 100% different from my normal stuff. It's almost all the left overs from other builds, found bikes & bikes other people have donated to me because they know I build bikes. It's parts from 4 bikes, 2 donated 10 speed Huffy road bikes with hard to find 26x1-3/8 590 ISO tires...

Thanks, I thought the same thing when I began to build this bike. I thought about it looking like some post apocalyptic urban dirt bike. I'm fine with that. I came from a bmx and moto-X background and sometimes when I'm out riding, if I see a nice trail or a huge drop off somewhere, I still hit...

Here's my daily driver. I have a lot of really radical customs but I wanted and needed a daily driver for all weather conditions. I thought about all the things I didn't like about factory bikes & built this mtb around them. I like the heavier components of mtb's, the suspension, and the...

My wife and I had a very good time. Met some fellow RRB members, found out some of you are closer to me than I thought! All this time, who would of figured? The turn out was WAY more than what I was personally expecting. Got there right at 10am and the place was already packed. Great event and...

I don't have to work this Saturday, finally, so I'll be going. Bringing 3 bikes.

Thanks for the comments, glad you guys like them. I'm in Plano & yeah, the purple and green one has been up on C/L. I have been selling since the beginning of this year because the bikes are piling up around here. I'm gonna try and make the bike show in Garland at the end of next month with the...

Thanks. The seat is not too bad for 10-12 miles. After that it gets a bit sore too. I usually build all my seats into the frame, like this. This particular one is on my Rat. It logs the highest miles, sometimes going out 6 or 7 days a week 10 mile minimum & up to 20. Maybe once or twice it...

Re: "Super Hulk" a hot rod chopper, finished Revised Handlebars It's been a little while since I finished this bike. I originally built this bike for my wife to ride and because of that, I built the first set of handlebars right up in front of you. I kept the wheelbase short (for one of my...

I'm in Plano, but I think my bikes are probably too radical for this show. I wouldn't know what class they'd fall under except for one. So, while I'd like to go, I don't know.
