    My first Schwinn!

    I know you Americans have a hard time believing this but Schwinn's are pretty rare on this side of the border. So when I got mine I wanted it to be different and came up with this.

    Raynal of England

    A co-worker kept talking about this Raynal of England ladies bike he was going to give me and actually did, although it looked nothing like it does now. The original wheels, tires, seat, bars and stem were far beyond saving so I did a quick build to see if everything fit and it turned out like...

    Urban Menace bikes

    So I started up my own bike company, it's called Urban Menace bikes. I usually recycle bikes but wanted a production bike and came up with this: It's all new, looks way better in person but it costs allot right now. What do you guys think?

    Columbia klunker

    The latest and final version of my clunker build which started about 2 years ago. I finally got a set of wheels with a nexus hub in the rear and switched out the large maxxis tires with a set of Kenda small block 8's that still have some grip but roll much nicer. I also put the tank back on...

    Spare parts

    Whilst I was working on the wife's bike, scrounging parts off of an old Raleigh I found somewhere, somehow other parts were making their way onto the Raleigh and since I couldn't finish off the wife's bike due to the lack of wheels I had to finish something.

    Brian's bike

    A friend was looking for a bike and wanted the low rolling resistance of a road bike but with the comfort of a cruiser. He didn't like the look of the hybrids that are available and the cruisers all have big fat tires which he doesn't like. It had to have gears and look cool too, it was a tall...

    #9.....REMIX

    #9 was nice to look at but nearly offensive to ride. I'm 6' 1" and with the seat and bars that low I was hitting my chin with my knees. So I took it apart and made it into a neighborhood rider. My neighborhood is full of hills, just a street over is a hill that looks more like a wall when you...

    Is this the future?

    I hope this isn't the future of cycling, it doesn't look very comfortable. http://www.dirtragmag.com/blogarific/wp ... ure-16.png

    My almost new KONA A'ha

    I found this one on CL and HAD to have it. It's a 1997 Kona a'ha cruiser/ mountain bike. It weighs 25.5 pounds and just flies on the trails...had it out in the bush already, sorry Brent but I had to. The guy I bought it off of rode it for a few minutes then stored it for 10 years!

    This will fit here!

    I'm probably too late but this my Brodie. :mrgreen: I don't have before I started pictures but it did have all the normal mountain bike stuff on it...knobby tires, padded seat, flat bars, lots of gears, dirt, grease, etc. So these are kind of after and after after pics.

    #9

    This is my entry :mrgreen: . The name came from my mock up build and the wife saw it and said " It's a bike once it has wheels on it and that's number nine.....don't you think you have enough bikes?" And #9 was born.

    bad butt black top bomber

    I made some more changes to the black top bomber and have never heard "cool bike" so many times. :D My son came for a visit and we took him for a ride around Stanley Park and other paths and had a blast.

    trail rat

    mock up pics of my 50's columbia "mountain bike" aka clunker. I'll probably take the tank off before any off roading so it doesn't get damaged. I'm also looking for a nexus 3 or 7 for the rear and smaller width tires, it has 2.6 inch tires on it in the pictures believe it or not...

    a whole lotta spokes

    The Black top bomber has some new wheels! Compliments of the ever so kind Mr. Kev. It took over an hour to clean these things but it was worth it. :mrgreen:
