    Leg Day SCRAP cruiser. Pulling the plug.

    A bit of a last minute decision to join the buildoff, all my stuff is hidden under building supplies and tools, my workshop is full of moving boxes and timber flooring, our house still needs a huge amount of work and my wife just got out of hospital... Sounds like the perfect time to jump in...

    We bought a 100+ year old stone cottage!

    Going to branch this off from my "Moving to the MAD MAX locale" thread and dedicate this thread to the property we just bought and are going to fix up. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/moving-to-the-mad-max-locale.109593/ Long story short, we moved to remote Broken Hill in...

    Moving to the MAD MAX locale!

    OK, as some may know by now, my wife and I decided to undertake a move to take advantage of a situation that offered us free rent for a year, that involved a move interstate, an 11 hour drive in two cars and a trailer. What I didn't say was where we were moving to... We moved to the area of...

    BUILD OFF 14 - CLASS 1 - HIGHLIGHT THREAD.

    Modern MOOSEGOOSE build. FRAME 2!

    As most long term members will know, I love large frame 20" bikes, minivelos and BMX... Obviously the holy grail bike in that style is the late 70's to early 80's Mongoose Moosegoose: :inlove: Of course they are rare now and if you can find them, very expensive! Which made me decide to...

    MooseGoose and Huffy Pro Thunder Max, chasing measurements and angles if anyone has one.

    Hey all, I would like to build a modern version of a Mongoose Moosegoose and one of the Huffy Pro Thunder Max, so just chasing measurements and angles if anyone has access to one? Luke.

    BROOKS SADDLES (still) ON SALE!

    Hey all, just wanted to share something with you... I was trying to bid on some used Brooks saddles on eBay today and kept getting beaten even though my bids were decent... Pretty bummed out I tried the usual places where secondhand things are sold (Facebook marketplace, Gumtree etc.) and came...

    Frankly my Deere, I don't give a John! (Tractor Trike. MBBO Class 2)

    Sorry for the late start on my build, I had some design issues I couldn't work out for a while and then just when I sorted them and started work we had a big storm take out our internet for a week or so... This is the pic I posted back in the MBBO ideas thread before it started: The basic...

    Anyone ever laced M/C rims to bike hubs?

    Hey all, just been thinking recently about running some 19" motorcycle tires and rims but laced to standard bike hubs, reason being that where I live there are lots of those goathead thorns and I hate getting punctures. (Yes, I know there are ways to get around it involving slime and self...
