I had 3 beach cruisers wasting away in my garage so I started messing around, was looking for old bikes or parts for sale and came across this site honestly freakin epic I found some other people enjoying life and building bikes and etc with a no worries vibe. I think it’s pretty awesome. Thank you for letting me be apart of the Ride! Always Trust in Rust! She’s pretty simple like me.

Morning rats.. had a lucky find while at work yesterday, stopped into a goodwill in the town I’m working in and just wanted to do a quick pass by the bike stuff and in a basket of random parts was this old bike ringer but I pulled the lever and all the plastic pieces inside went everywhere! ‍. But the lady was sweet and said I could have it if I cleaned up the mess , of course no worries! Small talked with her about the bike build off and at the end gave her $2 for the ringer, and explained that I was purchasing it whether it worked or not. Sorry for the rambling, but not sure where to mount it any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Trust in Rust

That looks like a Bell helmets logo under that tape. So it's a Bell bell that won't be a bell?

I wish I would have taken a pick of the pieces that fell apart. It just shattered into pieces, i mean BOOM! Honestly don’t think I could rebuild it so I was just going to try and add it to the bike?

Alright gonna stick with the original plan I had in mind, gonna throw down on some Flare instead of paint. Personalized!!

Awesome idea well played!!!

Played around just a bit last night, secured the bell top, and made a Beer Tap!!!! Filter shift handle!

All the craftsmanship I’m see out there is looking awesome . Still staying simple on this one, having a blast learning and hearing all the ideas thrown around, got to crawl before you walk right!??! AnyWay me and the wife suckered a family member into babysitting tonight so we are going to disappear for a few, Going to uncover the 74 weed dragger and tear up US101!! Just some little odds and ends done today.
