Sup dudes! I’m pretty sure I had an account here a long time ago but I can’t remember any of the login info so I made myself a new one. I’m a big fan of anything long and low. I like to chop things up and weld them back together so I’ll try to do some build threads in the future. For now...

Hello RRB! In short, I was ofc inspired by chopper motorcycles hence this comparison is a thing now. The question is are such tires close to each other if we're going to compare their diameters? Pictures of bikes with tires of that kind are appreciated. The process of coming up with these...

Hello there! At the moment I'm going through the whole internet to find Felt/Electra 3i rims (26" and 24" ones) for my future project. I found out that they're kinda rare asf or simply aren't sold separately from a bike... Anyway I'd like to know if there're good knockoffs/copies of such wheels...

So I only used this phone for a few days before I switched carriers and got a different phone. It is not refurbished. It was purchased new and immediately put in a case w a screensaver. It is in perfect/like new shape. Comes w original box and goodies, including extra glass screen protectors...

The inspiration for this bike was in early Klunkers, running classic one piece cranks and planetary gear hubs. However some modern Klunker twist was also welcome, for example i made it run 29' wheels. I used an old destroyed Electra ladies cruiser frame (hence the name) as a starting point, and...

Hey, new member here, and I'm really not sure where this should be posted so forgive me if this isn't the right place. TLDR: I wanna take two identical beach cruiser bike frames and weld them together to make a mini-bike dragster/cruiser frame. Is this a terrible idea, and if so, why? Are there...

Here’s my Emory Giant workhorse I got from the Mayport naval base… was one of their cycle trucks since the early 80s! Gave it a good wet sanding and clear coat and built her up to haul the kids and dog around the beach!

Hello, Newbie here. I was give this old Beach Cruiser frame and fork. I has a thick powdercoat so I cant make out the whole serial. Lugged stem and Tube Forks looks possibly 70's BMX Cruiser 26" type. Anyone have a clue? -Robert

Greetings All. New to the forum. My name is PJ from Cleveland Ohio. Raced BMX back in the 80’s for 10+years. Mostly into the BMX inspired Klunker genre but would love to find that right frame and build something unique in the same category. Recently finished getting this State Bike Klunker...

I acquired this frame in a collection, I suspect it is European due to the tiny bottom bracket (less than two inches in diameter). Ignore the seat post and handlebar, I put those on for a mock up. Can anyone guide me in the right direction?

Hey there. Been quietly browsing the site and finished up a highly-customized Hard Times frame from The Cruiser Shop in Campbell California that my son and I motorized to look like a 1950s lead sled. Really happy with how it turned out so we wrote a blog post about the design and build process...

Hey Guys! I have noticed that there are over 100 models of Felt Cruisers out there and it's really difficult for first-time buyers to find them in one place and to pick out their favorite. So, I thought it would be really helpful to create a database/photo gallery (currently counts over 750 of...

looking for a Trek Rail one CNC, 2005 issue, I know they aren't common but someone must have one collecting dust, lol.

As you know, I had managed to pull an old 1941 Hiawatha (Shelby Flying Cloud) bike out of the weeds in my own backyard. Well, I had been thinking some possible directions to go with it. One involved simply using 1960's schwinn pedal cranks and pieces to replace the rusted pieces. This got me...

So, not too long ago, I was walking in my backyard, and I spotted this leaning beside a fallen in shed. So I pulled it out of the weeds to get a better look. From what I have found, it is a 1941 (approx.) Hiawatha, built by Shelby, and sold at Gamble's Department stores. It looks identical to...

Been Holding on to this one for a while, but I think I would like to pass it on to someone that collects these or someone else to enjoy riding it. It's brand new, box has never been open. Has been sitting in a spare bedroom for a few years. Would like to get $600 obo I may also consider...

Pretty cool 1951 Boys 26” Schwinn! Original paint and painted Schwinn rims. Bendix hub out back and Schwinn stamped hub up front. She rides as she sits, kinda turn key! Missing chainguard, head badge, different size tires (2.125/1.75), wrong Schwinn seat and needs grips. Could make a cool...

I just started posting to Rat Rod Bikes for the last Build-Off RRB build off#13. These are some previous builds I wanted to share with the Rat Rod community. All of them are bare metal frames with a clear coat finish. It took quite a bit of sanding and polishing to get these beauties to their...
