Chainsaw, This bike is awesome. I love the color and the detail. I may have to try something similar when I build one for my wife. Resto

Nice build. As Kev said, "the details don't go unnoticed". Very nice job with masking and painting. Thanks for sharing. Resto

Very nice. Great paint scheme. The tank looks awesome. Resto

Lem, You know your stuff ! Yes... Sherco is the new Bultaco. Bultaco went under in the 80's and was resurrected in '99 under the name Sherco/Bultaco. I believe it was in '02 that they simplified the name to Sherco. Luckily, Sherco uses Allen metrics for all engine bolts. No Phillips -...

In addition to my new passion for Rat Rod Bicycles, I've been an avid motorcyclist for many years. I compete in Motorcycle Observed Trials. During my last event, I lost a main crank bearing - so I've had to split the engine cases to make necessary repairs. Not a fun job. So far, this has...

Good stuff ! Thanks for the links.

Kev..... You're right bro. - I'm hooked ! These bicycles are a nice break from the intricacies of motorcycle resoration - a lot cheaper too ! I've picked up two more 26" X 2.125" cruisers (free of charge !) since I finished this one last week. Another friend was stoked at what I did...

Kev, That's an awesome find. Sorta reminds me of the Yamaha Moto-Bike. I remember when they released those circa 1974. Some pics of Yamaha Moto-Bikes are in the Museum link that Multipass sent you. Resto

primersfiner, Good call on describing the bend of Hooch's bars. They definitely resemble the fold-down bars found on the old Honda MiniTrails. Here are a couple of pics to show the similarity. This is a frame-up restoration that I'm in the middle of. It's a 1971 Honda Z50 K2. It's...

Awesome. This bike is beautiful ! Your attention to detail is obvious. Keeping things original and using NOS when available really makes things "pop" when a resto is finished. Congrats, Resto

cman, Thanks. BTW, your Black Rat is wicked. I enjoyed watching its progress during the RBBO. The stance of that bike is unique....not to mention the headbadge especially designed for "adult beverages" CCR, I appreciate the feedback. Resto

Wow ! I had no idea a newbie would get so much commentary from the pros on this site. Thanks for making me feel welcome. I've posted my build at: http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1418 I'll use this one post to give quick replies to some of the individual questions some of...

Thanks for the positive comments about this build. I really appreciate all the kind words left for me in my Intro. posting. Please excuse the length of this post !!! However, I hope that some builders/artists will appreciate the detail and commentary. My premise was to restore this...

Hey Rats. I just signed up, but have been lurking since I discovered this site during the last week of the RBBO. You guys have fantastic building skills and unbelievable amounts of creativity. I really enjoy this place and have learned a lot from looking at the projects, tech tips, etc. My...
