That's high noon Tuscon time, right?..... https://ratrodbikes.com/forum/threads/raven.115796/

Has a poll for builders only ever been considered?

So, I am moving and can't even find time to finish my BO entry yet, but apparently there is always time to accidentally run across bike parts, lol...a friend of mine came across a cruiser frame with a (probably) Chinese springer. At some point is the past the bike appears to have been both red...

I picked up a Shimano 3 speed stick for my ...NEXT... build, to go with the SA RXL-RD3 gears/drum brake I got earlier...and it looks brand new. It's NOS, but still, it really does look brand new. This may be too pretty to cut up. Can anyone ID this for me? What year and what bike? These...

Do you buy parts for a specific build, or at least a general idea in mind? Or do you see a part and think "that's cool, someday I can do something with that"? Or do you see a single part and, in your minds eye, a bicycle appears around it? I saw a picture of a front wheel drum brake...

I am not even done with my rat rod bike, but surfing this site, scrolling through all the pictures...there is some incredible inspiration here! I have a few ideas for a muscle bike... Is the MBBO every year? If so, how long do I have to track down some parts? Thanks.

So, Tucson has some relatively flat areas, but the are a surprising number of hills here. Long, looooong gentle hills. Steep shorter hills. All kindsa hills. Just in case anyone is curious, I hate math... So, do I need a gear ratio lower than 2:1/44T:22T? and if so, does anyone make a 26T...

Noob question, but I had no luck on google.

Awhile ago I saw a picture of an older classic-looking cruiser with two top tubes. Since then I have been trying to find a company that makes or made tin top tube frames. I have seen the retorted, but that’s not quite what I am looking for. That has twin top tubes an a down tube, but not...

Doctor, I think a friend of mine might have a ..... problem. I am.....ummmm, I mean he is..... ALREADY thinking about the next RRBO AND the next MBBO.....Is there any hope, Doc?

I just picked up a Roger Riviere step through 10 speed for my other, and I have a few questions about road bikes, first and foremost about tires. Do I need folding tires or wire bead tires? Or does it matter? I have never built or even owned a 10 speed, so I know nothing about them. Thank...

I found an "older" Murray frame for an insanely low price....I haven't seen it yet, am going to go pick it up later today. All the pictures I have seen on the 'net appear to have diagonal dropouts. All of the disc brake adapters I can find appear to be for straight dropouts.... Does anyone...

Hi all, new member. No pictures yet, I am still looking around for a frame. I just wanted to save the name. Raven will not be a beautiful old pre-war like so many are building. I would LOVE to, but that's just not in the budget. I will build a newer bike, with more modern parts but hopefully...

Hi all! New member here in Tucson AZ. It has been a few decades since I have built a bicycle, but all of a sudden I started getting this itch. I was surfing around and found this site. I think I am going to like it here!
