    I guess that with the LEDs it kinda counts towards the lasers side of the threads name🤔

    I gussied up the bike tonight for a group night ride with a bunch of friends. Had a great time and got to see downtown Kalamazoo after dark. We had bikes from three different decades in the group!

    I made the holes in the gusset with a Christmas tree bit from harbor freight. Just took a bit of maths to get them to flow that way

    I'll definitely update the thread if the paint shows up. It's going to be painted House of Kolor Root beer kandy

    Thanks! If the paint ever arrives, I still want to paint it. It won't last long in raw steel with this Michigan weather. I can't put it in my garage/shop because it's too long to store hung up on the wall. I've only got 10 ft ceilings and the bike is 11 ft long

    The final photo of this bike, before I broke it down for paint. I still want to fully paint it, but it's a matter of IF the paint ever shows up. Can't even get a refund because it's still "in transit, close to being delivered"

    Well, I wasn't able to paint her the way I wanted, but she's otherwise finished. Never could come up with a good name for this build. It sure is a crowd stopper, and at 11 feet long it's a great traffic stopper Here's a link to the build thread...

    Well, it doesn't look like I'll be able to paint the bike the way I wanted. I ordered the paint two weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived. Just checked the tracking code, and it's bounced around the US. From Texas to California to Indiana. The latest update has it in Niagara Falls, New York, at...

    Countdown to build off 18

    Back in my day you had to search out shady Internet forums on your parent's computer after everyone else went to sleep before the Chinese spies took any interest. Kids these days have it easy

    Countdown to build off 18

    No one needs this kind of negativity in their lives, lol. I'm struggling with the heat and my own poor financial decisions to finish my builds

    Yep, our weaponized media seems to be doing nothing but spewing out distraction after distraction as the world around us continues to burn

    The entire country seems to be on fire at the moment, so yeah I'd say they're heavily contributing to global warming. Visibility here in West Michigan two days ago was slightly over two miles

    Long time no see. It's been hotter than Alexandria Daddario in a swimsuit these last few weeks, and thanks to Canada it's been a smokey, hazy mess. Just broke the bike down for the final metal work and starting on primer. No pics yet, just a bunch of sanding and welding

    Got some night time pics. The city removed the light fixtures from my favorite night pic spot because the homeless were making camps there, but there's a few other decent spots around.

    It was ridable, but you are incredibly intimate with the back tire. Yeah you can borrow the design. Oddly enough, I somehow still have this frame tucked away. Maybe one day I'll freshen it up and let it see sunshine again

    Was it this bike? If so, yes I built it. The frame was built from a futon bed, the forks are 4.5 foot long galvanized fence posts

    This turned out to be a pretty good weekend so far. Went on two fun group bike rides, I'm in the process of buying a new (to me) car, finally fixed the exhaust on my mom's car after I ran over a huge truck hitch on the interstate, and I got to meet some old friends and a few new ones

    The new hacked together trees held together through some seriously twisty sections on today's group bike ride around Grand Rapids. I think I might start calling the bike "Barricade". The group was trying to cross the street and even with the flashers going off in a marked cross walk with...
