★★★ 2ND ANNUAL RRB AUCTION BIKE ★★★

[garagegoon]

so do u guys still need me 2 build the forks with the rods on em or what ...??? i didnt see my name on the list so i was wonderin!!!

Well... I have to get forks and frame still... I do have a nice old set of truss rods that can be mated up to a fork... Just without the parts not sure of direction yet... Once I get the fork I will know what to do... Clear as mud yes?

Just realized I have a solid plain sprocket (no cut-outs) with 40 teeth, will that do??? :?:

Yes sir..

Yes sir..

It's yours, It's painted, so I will blast the paint off of it, to save you a step.

Double Nickle ... I think on that RRB plate all we need is a nice clean oval piece of steel... I would like to weld it to the truss rods to make permanent... then I will paint it white post welding... I have a machine to print and cut out vinyle letters to place on after completion.....

So all you need me to do is cut it out and send it to you.

If that is ok... What were you thinkin? Im just building ideas at the moment...

I will do whatever you need me to do, I was just going to get some RRB Decals made and powder coat the plate off white and send it to you to mount.

I was thinkin about that... other than zip tying it on there I could not think of another way... wanted something clean... Any ideas? Im up for not having to weld onto truss rods...

What kinda seat are you thinkin?

 

[garagegoon]

What kinda seat are you thinkin?

I like vintage womens seats... gives ya that old style in a smaller size... what do you have laying around?

This is what I chose for my build off bike.... But... Just look at the t shirt design and try to picture whats under racers butt.... If you think it will look good on the bike... then thats what we will put on it....

 

[King Zebba]

I have a Brooks B66 in black. You may want something a little more vintage and a little bigger. Let me know what you think. I would be more than happy to give it up for RRB. 8)

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

[garagegoon]

I think that would be a perfect seat... Has a good vintage look to it... Plus it will match the all black look we are goin for...

 

[King Zebba]

Sounds Great! PM me the info and I'll send it out to ya!

 

[mikesbikes36]

wow thats an awsome seat .. sweet !!!!!

I've got the solid chainwheel, should you still need it.

Sadly, the only set of crescent bars that I had to cut down turned out to be bent on one side.

EDIT: As it turns out, I also have a couple of 36-hole drum brake front hubs (off an old downhill-racing off-road wheelchair), HOWEVER they're probably meant for a moped. They use 1/2" axles and 11g (.120") spokes.

If you don't mind modifying the fork to fit a larger axle, and lacing up with 12g spokes, I could send a hub along.
