Re: air ride bicycle Update: youtube video
Lookin' good. Amazing how much better a custom bike looks with fatter wheels/tires. Did you get one on the front too? I'd like to see some pics/video with you riding the bike too. :mrgreen:

Re: air ride frame work in progress
the VW steering wheel is the best part!!!!!!
OCD said:Here's a pic of the air ride parts I've collected so far. The regulator is adjustable from 200-1000psi, I figure 200psi will be plenty. With the airchuck fitting I can hook it up to my shop compressor until I find a deal on a 4500psi paintball tank.
Here's my cheap bender and homemade tube roller (made mostly from salvaged material from my scrap bin).

Re: update pics 5-9-10 Rat Bike On Air
could not find a true freaky-lookin moon bar anywhere. so... I made my own radical mooner
went with 1 inch all the way because 7/8's look too puny to me. It changed the whole look of the bike.
If anybody wants a "radical mooner" for their rat project send me a pm.

Re: update pics 5-9-10 Rat Bike On Air
hey chope you can just buy two regualr single speed chains and put them together with the master links they come with. :wink: but i suggest buying a chain breaker tool to make custom lengths.

Re: update pics 5-9-10 Rat Bike On Air
Hi Chopemup87. I used two standard chains and linked them together with master links. i used a cheap chain breaker from wali mart. its a very bad, bad tool but it worked for me. You can find a on cylinder on ebay.

Re: update pics 5-9-10 Rat Bike On Air
Your bike came out great! I'd love to have some high res pics for my desktop. My basement renos are nearly complete and hope to be back to building in about a week. I'm sure you're enjoying the 'new ride buzz', any thoughts on paint scheme or have you clearcoated the raw steel?

Re: update pics 5-9-10 Rat Bike On Air
I'm glad to hear that you are almost done with your house. I can't wait to see some more pics of your build. i don't know what color i'm going to paint it, but i am still doing some more work on the frame. i would like to make my own fork, but i have been a bit lazy.

Re: update pics 6-19-10 Rat Bike On Air
Looks good with that piece filling in behind the down tube of the frame, doesn't look so empty now. I gotta get some work done on mine, it's been sitting idle too long. I'd still love to have some hi res pics of yours for inspiration, nice job! Now you just have to decide to clear coat it or pic a colour :roll:

Re: update pics 6-19-10 Rat Bike On Air
what up ocd. sorry for not sending you some pics. I completely forgot. If I have time I will send some tomorrow. I sent kamilos a pm. I asked him if he can use his software to put paint on the frame to give me some ideas. I’ll see if he replies. i'm very happy to rid of that empty space. the frame looks complete now. i'm still wanting to make my own fork, but no idea on how to do it yet.
Every night I’ve been checking your bike build to see if there is any new progress. I’m eager to see what you are going to do on your build. Hope to see some new pics soon. see ya.
