    Anybody sniffing BO 19 in the air?

    Had a friend win a raffle last weekend who gave me this huge SA hub for a very nice price. It should end up on my build off bike. If things go as I want them to...

    Anybody sniffing BO 19 in the air?

    I got the opportunity to hang out with Marty in last weeks fun over at Mike Brittain's mom's place. Smart creative guys... At the show, and after, we hung out and heard a lot of stories about the 00's custom bike scene. Thanks, she's put in a ton of hard work. We are so proud of her. She's...

    Anybody sniffing BO 19 in the air?

    I'm still kicking around a few ideas. Saw this Marty Eden built custom bike from the early days that may be an inspiration for my build. Have a lot of irons in the fire. Will have a late start, my daughter is graduating from vet school at the first of the month.

    OBC2024 CruiserCon was today. (Pic heavy)

    I never got around to posting them the last time OBC was in town. Glad you enjoyed them. A lot of original ideas in the details.

    ORBO Let's Go Ride Bikes

    Been a busy few weekend now that spring is here. Weeds and raking and general cleanup last weekend. Found a few spots on the head tube this morning, still needing to be smoothed flat from a rock I ran into once. Plans this afternoon with friends. Will pull the polisher out sometime this...

    Thank You Ian! I haven't done much on this except ride it around the house. Finished up the Darts disc brake conversion and brake line replacement last weekend. Added mx bars to my BuildOff bike from last summer for the Wednesday ride downtown last night. I like it better like this... M...

    Great looking ride. Looks perfect the way it is. What are your plans for it?

    Will add it to my bag of tricks. I have an old faded ACS 4 spoke directional mag that can use it.

    Cool, I've never really noticed the plastic compound was blue, my old dico tube is lighter blue too.

    ORBO Let's Go Ride Bikes

    Never heard of the blue. Good to know. Polishing wheel would scare me a bit with these. Unlike the mags in the store, these mags were never shiny, even new. They've absorbed grease before on the rear hub when overheated and it run down the spokes. That always left them as red as new. I...

    ORBO Shadow

    It's a win for me. The look of awe and then happiness, when I told him, "If you want it, it's yours' was awesome. I know this one will get a lot of hard use and enjoyment. For parts of the year, they live as campground hosts in one of the in the national forest up there. The mongoose will...

    Didnt do anything to the Predator today. Had company in town this weekend. Did find some time to go ride bikes with some friends this morning. Gave away Shadow this afternoon. These were the rides we were on today. 37 doublebar, a 40 roll fast and a 46 shelby.

    ORBO Shadow

    Well, this bike is on its way to Soda Springs tomorrow. My wife's childhood friend stopped by this weekend amd brought her grandson with her. He liked it so much I gave it to him. He zipped up and down the street on it and we worked out most of the kinks. Before I took them back to their...
