Pics.. Shot some pics of the fenders today. Hoping my other parts arrive today as well.. The only issue is that the front fender is quite wide. Well, really the front tire is very narrow, haha. The tires I am going to use should both be around the size of the rear tire. Good thing...

Fenders are here! My fenders came the other day and I installed them already! They are a bit wide for the bike, but they fit and look pretty good. Definitely makes the bike look more complete. I'll post some pics later when I get home from work.. I would have em up already but I have been...

Yep, that's the plan, I just want it rideable and functional for bottom dollar. I wonder where to get some narrower fenders with full coverage of the tires? It'll be ridden in the rain for sure. Gotta fashion some degree of a chainguard as well.. I have some spares I could modify I think...

Thanks dude!

Ok, so I know it's not a rat rod bike per say... But I felt like it was in the spirit of ratrodding bikes, only this bike in a frankenstein build for a different purpose. A street-going, singlespeed, daily driver kind of bike. One I can ride to work on, or to the grocery store and whatnot. So...

Freebie handlebars! I spotted an old Spalding Blade Te sitting out for trash today and picked it up. It looked to have a decent frame and wasn't in terrible shape otherwise. I figured it might be a cool fixed wheel project or a commuter or something. So I tore it down and set the frame...

I thought it seemed a bit longer than most as well. Especially next to the stubby Huffy frames that they are making today. I'm loving the extra stretch though since I'm a pretty tall fella. The high rise bars and way back seating position give the bike a long feel as well.

So I did a little tinkering today and added a few small touches to the bike. I found a couple punk rock spiked bracelets from an old Halloween costume in my closet and noticed the spikes were screwed on to the bracelet. So off they came. I found a few suitable locations for them on the bike...

I had the womens frame single speed version of that bike (The female equivelent to the onyx). It was agreat bike, built pretty darn good for a walmart bike. Light for a cruiser, especially one that size. One thing to keep in mind is that these 29er cruisers are BIG. As in HUGE. They take up much...

Ordered a Nirve springer fork, new headset bearings, shorty "Torker" fenders, and some new whitewalls yesterday. Also grabbed some pedal adapters that will allow me to use some cool black alloy 9/16" pedals I have from my Trek 29er mtn bike on the cruiser's 1/2" crank. I have an interesting...

Thanks fellas, I appreciate the kind words. I'm definitely diggin the blue too, it really pops when it's out in the sunlight. And hell yeah Carbon, this is a gm household for sure. I'm probably going to order the springer fork and fenders on Thursday. I'll update with more pics soon.

Picked up an old Solar cruiser on Craigslist today. Had a banana seat/sissy bar setup laying around, so I bought a bike to build, haha. Not bad at all for $40.00. Rides great. Had this totally sweet stem from a bmx bike. It's way solid, much nicer than a typical cruiser stem. Stripped it...
