Hello from Walla Walla

[Brokepeddler75]

Hello. I've been watching the RRB Facebook page for some time and thought I'd finally check out the forum. I love all things mechanical but the older the better. I started riding cruisers 7 years ago when my wife got me an Electra Rally Sport for my birthday. Last year I started reshaping a 60's western flyer cruiser. It ended up longer, lower and way more fun to ride. Since then I've just been salvaging all the old bike stuff I can find. I am part of a local ride group that has an average of 30 attendants on our rides. They're a great group! I think I might try the build off in the anything goes class this year. Look forward to chatting and sharing ideas with everyone.

How do I add pics?

Welcome!

How do I add pics?

Give this thread a try, it explains how to do it. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=48
Some people are having problems with the new photobucket, so maybe one of the others would be worth a try if you do not already have a picture hosting service. I use Flickr and it is pretty easy...

Hope that helps,

Luke.

Apparently I can't do photos from my phone. I'll try adding some from my desktop.

 

[Brokepeddler75]

There, I think that should be a few pics of my first build. Hope that works.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Nice work!
I love a stretch build...

Luke.

 

[Brokepeddler75]

Thanks Luke. I have about 80 miles on the build without any structural failures so its about ready for paint.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Sweet! What colour(s) you thinking of?

Luke.

 

[Brokepeddler75]

Butterscotch or ivory with red striping and a red wheel set. Or burnt orange metal and chrome. Probably the former though. I dig your fat bob project.

Thanks Brokepeddler!
I like your colour choices!

Luke.
