    Cool Tail Light

    Here is my version. I used what looks like the same "bar end" light, but I mounted it in a CO2 cartridge. Since empty CO2 cartridges are a biproduct of bicylcling, it seems more fitting to use them than to use machined aluminum housings on a rat rod.

    I just went to the bike pile and found a similar kick stand. I used a flat piece of metal to pry the spring clip off. A big screw driver, a pry bar, or a nail bar should work. Under the spring clip I found a 1/4 inch round pin that serves as the detent and a rectangle steel block that...

    Retro Direct gearing

    Check out the retro direct here. http://www.blackbirdsf.org/randonneuring/2007_pbp.html The pbp is a real hardcore ride. On a 1920 retro-direct bike it would be a challenge beyond description. I selected a 27 pound diamond frame ten speed from the pile today and removed most of...

    Retro Direct gearing

    I bought 2 bmx freewheels this afternoon, and the shop owner gave me a used bottom bracket cup that should work for connecting the freewheels. I'm thinking that if I use a BIG big ring and fasten some BIG cogs to the bmx cogs I can create a radical enough chain angle to avoid needing to...

    My Galaxy Flyer.

    The swap meet sounds fun, but it's all the hours in the car that will keep me from making the trip. As Randy said, I've been hanging out with the Coasters when I can. I always have a good time and get lots of good ideas for future mods from looking at their bikes. I ride the galaxy flyer...

    My Galaxy Flyer.

    Here are before and after pics of my Galaxy Flyer. It has a front wheel from a puegot, forks from a schwinn supersport, a pvc spacer on the steerer tube, a gas pipe seat post, and a 2 speed kickback.

    Hello!!!

    Hi, I've been lurking on this site for a few weeks. I've been doing some road bike riding for the last few years and have only recently got into the cruiser/ratrod scene. This has really put the fun into biking. I have an incurable garage sale addiction which has helped me quickly creat...
