Thought I’d create a gallery of my past and current bikes.
In no particular order of build:
The ‘Fat Belly Bobber’ (parted out to other builds):
This was my first build after joining RRB back in 2009. It’s a 1990s Huffy Santa Fe (precursor to the Cranbrook). It went through several versions.
V1:
V2: added Worksman fork, ‘tank’ plates and Huffy Decals
V3: new bars/grips, headlight/tail light, double armed kickstand
V4: tried some cream Thick Bricks
V5: added a flipped Rat Trap springer, swapped the front wheel to a 26” and ran Kenda Kraze 24x3 rear/26x2.125 front
V6: swapped out the wheelset with a set of Worksman rims with a Nexus 3sp coaster and brown Fat Franks
Can’t find a pic (stupid Photobucket..) if/when I do I’ll post it
The Tybee Siren:
Built for my wife, it’s a 24” 1950 Monark.

Built for my daughter and a RRBBO entry, it’s a 1972 Schwinn Lil Chik with a modified baby OCC Stingray fork,a 26” ladies tank and a Nexus 3sp coaster.

1946 CWC Roadmaster with original paint/patina, the Worksman Nexus 3sp wheelset and Fat Franks from the Fatbelly, Brooks B72, front fender from a girls Hawthorne and a 1937 CWC rear rack with green Delta tail light. Love this bike!
Christmas bike:
Building this as a tribute to my Dad, it’s a 1956 JC Higgins Christmas catalog bike. It is a bit of a resto-mod with some chromed bits, 2sp SRAM Automatix rear, 26x2.35 whitewall Bontrager Solanas, Higgins speedo, still need to repaint the tank/chainguard.
Current condition:
Amsterback (sold):
1995 Diamondback MTB turned path bike:

1958 Huffman is also a RRBBO entry. I badged it with a AirFlyte headbadge, springer section from a Monark, cream Thick Bricks from the Fatbelly, tractor headlight converted to H7 LED, RUFF leather saddle (new addition), it is clear powdercoated in gloss and matte finishes.
Schwummit strandie:
My latest and everyday rider, a Summit Workhorse built as a Schwinn Heavy Duti (same frame, with a 1” head tube). REALLY love this one!
Phantom-RAY
My never ending custom ‘Schwinn’ stretch, I’ll post the details when/if I finish it.
