This is a project that I started back in February, but decided not to post it until now. The video will explain a lot of it. I've also included some various build pictures. It's a lot of fun to ride. I will update this thread as I begin to finish it, although that might not be until winter...

I finally got back into the bike shop about a month ago. This restoration was done for a customer. As you can see from the first picture, it was in rather good shape. I was really impressed at how straight the fenders were. With every bike I work on, I seem to learn something new. On this...

I've decided to try a new design on an old method. I'm calling it the buddha because of it's fat, belly like shape. This is the basic design using my proprietary CAD ( cardboard aided drawing) software. These are the rolled and formed 20 gauge sheetmetal pieces welded together. I'll...

The other day I realized I had never posted the pictures from the Denver Tour de Fat. Needless to say it was one of the best times I've had and I'll hopefully be returning.

I've had this, almost complete, but not quite original, Hawthorne in my bike shop for almost a year and decided to do somehthing with it. When I bought this it had already been converted to 26 inch. Which was fine, since I would have done that anyway. I had no intended direction when I...

I was recently asked to restore this 1948 J.C. Higgins. It took 32 hours to complete. Some of that time was spent fixing my mistakes and straightening metal. I know it's not really a rat rod, but I thought I would share it with you anyway. I enjoyed working on it and learned a lot. The next...

These first pictures are of the build of the bike I recently finished. I call it the Spoken bike. I've been riding it for a couple of weeks and I love it. It's got a sturmey archer 8 speed rear hub that makes it nice on these dirt roads that I have. It also has drum brakes front and back...

My name is Steve, I live in north central Wyoming. I've just begun to view and respond to these great bicycle forums. I hope to use all of them eventually. I've been customizing and restoring bikes for a little while and have now started creating my own monsters. I farm for a living, so the...
