Actually, I hate this chrome bike. I have to keep wiping the fingerprints off of it every time I touch it. Rust Rules!!!I'm sure those panel doors aren't as unique as Reallybigtim Style.

Yea, I know. It took a lot longer this time. But I don't know whether to be flattered or offended. Are you saying that I have a bad habit?Kinda like that Tootsie Pop owl, I was wondering how many posts before we would see the bigtim slam forks. #25 the answer is 25

I totally took it as a joke. It was great! I think we know each other by now. I thought it was hilarious. I just re-read MY response. And it also could have easily been misconstrued. I use a lot of sarcasm also. Maybe I should write "sarcasm" after my "fun" comments. We're good, brother. Keep'em coming!Please don't take offense at it. I just re-read my comment and it does sound like a S.A. Sorry, I was making a joke. The build looks great in every mode you have mocked up so far. And it feels like you are having fun too. So build on brother!
Yeah RBTim, you do. A bad habit of building rad!Are you saying that I have a bad habit?
I second that motionMany times have I longed for the sarcasm font. I vote italics![]()
I do seem to have gotten stuck in a 20" rut. Come to think of it........I've never slammed the forks on a 26" bike! Hmmmmmm. The wheels are turning now! (pun intended)Yeah RBTim, you do. A bad habit of building rad!
Thank You. I don't have the patience for much more than a 3-day build. I usually have many builds going on at once (and partial ideas for many more). Therefore, most of my builds have re-used parts that have been on many other builds.Somehow saw this on FB first instead of here. I LOVE it. Everything works together. It's very CLEAN. Lots of time left for another build?? I'm in the same boat. I've been working on mine for a few weeks, but it's mostly done. I had to start another one.
I'm late to the party here. There's already a lot of twists and turns to catch up with!My original plan with this '71 Huffy Dragster frame was to cut out the seat tube completely to make an Elgin Twin Bar 20" custom of some kind (mostly just to mess with Kingfish!). The proportions are almost perfect to make a 3/4 scale Twin Bar. I still might do it but it, I would have a hard time cutting up a nice original frame. Should I do it ??? Would I have to switch to class 2 ???View attachment 120120View attachment 120122View attachment 120125
I really do want to make the blue frame a 3/4-scale Elgin custom of some sort. Haven't thought of enough bizarre ideas for it yet. I need to put some serious thought to doing that. Unfortunately, it would probably render it un-rideable (in a non-weight bearing sort of way). Huffys from that era were wimpy enough with everything there. Lost count of how many of those I broke as a kid. Maybe I will post some of the unpublished ideas I had for it to motivate me (and get some feedback) to go ahead with the build. It might just show up in Class II. I'm just waiting for you to make those new fabbed-up Shelby parts available. I have the frame already.I'm late to the party here. There's already a lot of twists and turns to catch up with!
Back to the blue frame, I say cut it!
As for the chrome bike, every post gets better and better. Keep'm coming!
Not much to my "style" except pure aesthetics. But I really appreciate the compliment! Everything has to work and flow together. Or are you just talking about my low-and-back seat position and high-and-wide handlebar fetish???Love that tank, and the "Reallybigtim" style. Solid
Oh, Big Tim, you definitely have a signature style! There's noooo doubt about it!Not much to my "style" except pure aesthetics. But I really appreciate the compliment!

The low-and-back seat position and the high-and-wide handlebar is not so much a fetish, but more out of necessity due to the "old-man-with-a-bad-back" scenario!!!Oh, Big Tim, you definitely have a signature style! There's noooo doubt about it!![]()
Shoot, there was a bike there? I was talking about that fantastic garage door!Not much to my "style" except pure aesthetics. But I really appreciate the compliment!
