Future Builds?

[GuitarlCarl]

How many folks here have a backlog of bikes they'd like to build? Every time I see an exotic or really different type of bike, I get an itch to build one. So far I want to build: a wooden bike, a gravity bike, a tall bike, a flipped girls frame stretch, and now a mini velo. I've got a 24" BMX to rebuild, an 80's tandem, a ladies 700c, and a 36' CWC to rat out.

Carl.

I think the appropriate question would be "Who doesn't?".....

 

[Glen]

My current list, in no particular order, is...

Wooden Bike
Hubless Wheel Bike
Prone Riding Position Bike
Indian Style Bike
Riveted Aluminium Bike
Big wheel (32 or 36 inch) Bike
...

Glen.

I cut my "list" off to 5 bikes .... could easily triple that with the amount of stuff laying around, but I refuse to make the list any longer.

 

[todhunter]

I, too, am digging the mini-velo.

 

[Walker]

No shortage of projects, just shortages of time

Dayton tandem to refurbish
36 Zep to redo
Hawthorne Duralume to either fix up or unload
40 something girls Hawthorne to shine up
41 Western Flyer to shine up
Columbia muscle bike to overhaul for my middle son
Need some kind of bike for my eldest and youngest for the summer?
I have 2 scratch built bikes on paper that I want to get a done stamp on.
89 Yamaha TW200 to rebuild for my wife
1/2 a dozen other bikes to give the once over before flipping this spring/summer

When spring arrives I'll be doing assemblies for my LBS, he warned me this year is going to be big & last year was something like 30 bikes over 2 weeks.

And that's just the bikes, nevermind everything else!!!

1901 Rear Steer Tandem
Mens Lux Liner
Ladies 40-41 Elgin custom Miss America
37-9 Mens Mercury Long tank
20inch Corvair Convertible
Moms 24 inch Western Flyer

Last count I had 11 projects planned and ready to go, that was before I started the current build and it was not even on the list!

My problem is with project ADHD. I end up getting a frame, amassing most of the components, and starting to scheme on finishing it.... when I find a new frame, get stoked on that one, amass most of the parts, and starting to scheme on finishing it....

Repeatin' that pattern for ever.

 

[deven_science]

I have a VERY long list. I'll probably never get to all of them. I've got a dry erase board in the shop with about 8 or 10 of the ones I'm most likely to build written down. It's very satisfying when I actually get to cross one off.

 

[Glen]

Another one just got added to my list today...

Cargo Bike

Yep... my car died :banghead: I don't actually know that much about engines... but I know that banging, knocking sounds and dark smoke out the exhaust pipe is not a good thing.

Just found this thread, thought I'd give it a bump.

Some of my want to do projects are:

A recumbent
A velomobile
Hubless build
Sidecar build
And a pedal car.

That's just a few I'd like to build, don't know when or if but who knows.

 

[beatcad]

My penny fakething is SO FUN! I recommend bumping that up. They don't take that long to build, and mine rejuvenated my love for riding.

Ask and ye shall receive
Build and they will come
Or something like that.

I just picked this puppy up and I would like to do a road bike with it.

But, I will be doing a sort of drag bike in the purple you see below.

Yes, I still have that bike but I know someone who wants to buy it at a price I just can't say no to. Hard wood floors would look nice in the living room.

Ok first I'm not a huge James Dean fan, but I like the little b****rd concept, have a bike in the works of the same idea.

Second, is the purple concept called purple b****rd?

Cargo Bike, yeah... that's what I want to build, but it has to be different...somehow. I like taking non bike items and incorporating them.
Meanwhile, I still need to re-assemble that old Trailmate Trike
Worked yesterday on a beefy 99 Huffy Hermosa beach cruiser
Started today reno on a 77 Royce Union Mtn Bike...
and..I started a build based on an old 30s racer bike...that's just sitting.
oh, plus a half ratted Murray Monterey also, just sitting in the shed
and, 3 kids bikes to get ready for customers
Yeah, it's that bike A.D.D. thing, either that or I like getting greasy.
