    Board Track Forks

    Would someone like to post a how to on boardtrack forks? I've seen a few on here, some home made. I have a motorbike project and I was just going to weld truss rods to it. But if there is a more detailed way of going about it that would be great.

    Where can you buy Thick/Quick brick tires!?!?!

    I picked up a few of them from a shop that was closing here in my town. I need a 26 inch cream quick brick to finish a set and I can't find one anywhere. I even called the felt dealers here in town and they are all roadbike snobs that informed me they only deal with "real" bikes, and wouldn't...

    So many music posts, addition to the scrapyard?

    With so many threads about music I think there should be a music section under the scrap yard. I think it would fill up quickly and we would all be able to turn to it for good music.

    Long Shot, The back alley bomber.

    People everywhere duck and cover at the sound of the air raid siren's scream. I'm finished!!! Had to work through all day today but I did it! It's done! I ended up gutting the siren and mounting a electric motor from a model airplane inside. When you pull the hand lever it spins like mad and...

    A tree fell on my house

    Last night we had an INSANE storm and it ripped out our orange tree and knocked over our 60ft tall Juniper tree. The juniper fell on the house, directly over my room. The roof is damaged and our power is still out. It's almost 100 degrees out so I am staying with a friend until the trees are...

    Long Shot, The back alley bomber.

    I don't know what happened, but a month ago I thought I had missed the deadline for the build off. Realizing today that it is in fact August right now and not last month I'm still in the game!!! I picked this bike up at the local bike salvage (Bicas) and it was hideous. It was krylon purple...

    First Bike Post....... "The Inmate"

    When I built this bike I wanted to get that rusty, thugish, prisonboy feel. The bike was complete, but it was missing something. From cruising these forums I found that last touch. In the Bicycle art thread someone posted some pinups on bikes clad with "life behind bars" underneath. That was...

    New guy from the dessert

    I've been building bikes like the ones I've seen on here for almost a year and just found the site two weeks ago. I really like some of the ideas that some of you maddmen have come up with.
