I have a ladies CWC Springer. 7-1/2? To the 5" a men's is. My question is this, how are you modifying the rods to match the new cutdown height of the steer tube? Are you cutting the rods down and re-threading those, too? Fz

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...

So I started going through this Westfield frame I got from Jeffry Olsen. This is so bad ass! So it's a wartime frame (1945) and the crank assembly is mostly blackout parts (though the original owner tried to buff out the black). What is super cool, is the hot rod paint job done in, what looks...

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...

Hey everyone, I recently made a set of chainmail grips for my wife's bike and posted pics on the RRB Facebook page.They generated quite a buzz, and a few people messaged me about buying a pair. The cost of materials is a bit high, so I cant make them unless I get at least 5 sets requested...

Greetings and salutations from the CABE. This is my first post on RRB and have been looking forward to the WBO for about a year now. My whole project started when I bought a 1948 Schwinn DX with a Chinese motor. The motor didn't have enough power for what I wanted to do, so I set out on a...

Hi Thanks for looking :) After finishing my last custom bicycles this summer I have decided to be slightly less adventurous with the next one! I started looking for a suitable bike a couple of months ago. I found the perfect one in my town. A Peugeot road bike The plans are to strip it...

My daughter helped with the videography. She did pretty well for her first time.

I'm a Clevelander who ended up in Indy, and I just love bikes. And antique stuff. And, therefor, old bikes in particular. I have a wife and four daughters who all have bikes, and I help out the neighborhood kids with fixes on their bikes, so I'm around bikes all the time. Bicycles, as a form...
