    Harbor Freight tubing roller

    Well, I picked one of these bad boys up tonight. Caught it on sale for $175, had a 20% off coupon and it ended up costing me $152 and some change, so I couldn't pass it up. Anyone else on here using one? I'm pretty anxious to start a build with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When boredom strikes..

    Has anyone ever had parts laying around, an old frame and some old pipe and got a sudden urge to build an unplanned bike? Well, this is a result of that. Now, it's not finished. I've got some more spots to weld up on the frame and a couple supports to weld in the fork. But I couldn't resist...

    Hey everyone!

    Hi all. Haven't been on in awhile, I've been working like crazy here lately, 6 days a week! Don't have time for much anymore, but I figured I would drop by and say hi. Hope all is well with everyone!

    Sweet & Low

    This will be a slow go. However, I felt the need to move it to the builds section since I've started gathering parts to do it. I'm planning a pneumatic bike. Heres a simple idea of what I've got in mind: With that being drawn up, I've started gathering parts. Back half (triangle): Where the...

    eBay?

    I'm thinking of setting up an eBay and PayPal account. Anyone have these and not like them? Are they worth it? I was told PayPal only charges you when you purchase something.

    Bi-Metal Saws?

    If I'm using 1" tubing to build a frame, like notching and joining it, what size hole saw would I need? This may be a silly question, but I've never built a frame before lol

    Tubing sizes

    I'm thinking about building a frame, but I'm curious of what size tubing to use. If I were to use square tubing, what would be a good size to use? If I were to use round tube, what would be a good size to use?

    Help! Another possible build? Maybe..

    I've got an itch to build a bike on air using a pneumatic air cylinder. Does anyone know what size, what brand and what style cylinder would be the best?

    How many people on here use it? Has anyone ever had trouble with it messing with their phone? Is it worth downloading?

    Rear wheel problem

    I'm having trouble keeping my back wheel on one of my bikes tight. After making 3 or 4 passes up and down the road, I notice my is loose. I don't think my wheel nuts are staying tight. I've already put lock washers on them like the lock washers that are on training wheels. Even without those, it...

    Can't belive this..

    Some of you have seen this and others haven't. For those oh you that haven't, I picked it up at a yard sale for 5 bucks. Its an all original Harley Davidson Blackhawk bicycle made by Roadmaster. Not sure of the year, but its in decent shape. The forks are bent, but can be straightened. Now, I...

    Gender bender

    I picked this bike up for 5 bucks for a few parts. Got to looking at it and realized it has some cool lines, then I decided it was time to do a gender change. Now, I've gotta get it welded up. I think it looks pretty sweet.

    Welding

    Ok, guys. Since I'm new to welding, I want to see some pics of frames you've welded up with a description of how. I'm curious of how the best way to weld tube using a mig.

I'm making a list, so just let me know what online parts stores you guys use! 8)...

    Sweet springer fork

    I was browsing the web looking up info about board trackers, and I went to images and this was one that popped up. Now it's not a bicycle fork, it's a motorcycle fork. However, I think a bicycle fork could be done like this. I can't lie, it is awesome looking :wink:

    Boardtracker tires

    Ok, guys, I wanna start this topic because I know there's plenty of us building a boardtracker right now and we're curious as to what the best tire would be to fit the "boardtracker" look. I've already bought a couple myself, but I may change them up sometime. So, post pics and links to them if...
