Late 1970 early 1980's Klunker/MTB races looked like this. There was always hike a bike. We also had front brakes along with our wonderful (a little sarcasm) coaster brakes. All types of coasters were used and they all could cook eggs after steep downhills or even stopped working. Love what...

Amazing amount of work perfecting this rear wheel installation. I love the old Eagle derailleurs because even 50+ years old they are not worn out, will work wonderfully and are very durable. You have the patience of Job and the workmanship is starting to shine through. Even in its raw form...

Here in California the railroad police have all the same powers as regular police even though they are employed by a private company. No messing with railroad police on my part. I have gone down railroad rights of way maintenance roads alongside the track. One time and never do it again...

We have a bunch of these in the Sacramento CA area. I can't help but think these riders may have hidden problems with a death wish. It looks like they stop by leaning the footpads backwards a bit while balancing for the slowdown. Glad to hear that you are not permanently hurt by your...

Looking forward to your progress on this build.

Like a lot of things in life in did cooperate, just not in the way first envisioned.

I have seen a whole evolution of bike parking racks and their attachment to the ground. I had a bike stolen one time because the thief just unbolted the rack from the concrete pad and lifted it high enough to get the bike out. The bike had a U-lock and when we recovered the bike a day later that...

Here in West Sacramento we have a small hard core group of cyclists that mount small gas engines to cheap Walmart/Target types of bicycles. The two stroke engines are very cheap and the poorest guys use them until they start seizing, throwing rods, or whatever. They don't last long. The guys...

One speed bikes offer 3 modes of forward progress. 1. You can actually pedal the bike. 2. You can walk/run while pushing the bike. 3. You can carry the bike as you walk/run. A good mountain bike course should always have all three modes of bicycle travel. Of course the multi speed mountain...

I love this very distinctive paint job. Well done. I like any good paint job that draws your eye to the object, bicycle in this case. Well done.

I loved the overall look and build quality. Your video answered my nagging question on whether no downtube would cause front wheel waggle while pedaling. I guess not. Love the looky lou holes especially the bottom bracket. It is so hard to tell when those pesky hidden bottom bracket bearings...

I finally realized how naked I feel now that I know that a bicycle mounted flagpole is a thing. Great work and I love the flagpole idea.

Really nice classy looking build. Good work on this build. Glad it fits too, very important. Keep up the good work.

Having ridden plenty of one speed clunkers I can attest that rarely if ever are one piece chain rings and coaster brake rear sprockets able to turn a full revolution without having the chain tighten and loosen due to very small out of round issues. Your sprocket does wobble side to side a...

Congratulations on your daughter. Children are a blessing.

You are doing a great job on this bike. I'm 6'5" and it is hard to find nice tall bike frames. I go for 64cm to 68cm in my bikes and I love the older style big steel framed bikes because they fit me so well. Looking forward to the built pictures.

I have crossed a mountain stream in just this manner. This is an example of great form. However I flipped over the front handlebar and for some reason I always tuck and roll under these circumstances. I landed in the stream on my back on a big flat water covered rock and did not sustain any...

BDC I join you at 6'5" but have been riding mostly on my recumbent lately. This is an early Ryan Vanguard XL. This bike was built for big and tall. A very comfortable bike on a rainy day in Sacramento California. This location is a City of Sacramento pump station alongside a bike trail and a...

Love the imagination of all your work so far. This bike is turning out so very cool.

The original thinking and craftsmanship this bike represents is top level. Your upscale is seamless until you put it up against an original and realize how much bigger it is. I applaud your effort. Loved this.
