Old Glory

[Bob Stuke]

Entering a bit late but this years build is going to be a adult size Muscle bike being named Old Glory.

I have had this bike for some time now and it will receive a complete make over. In the past it was my ultimate parade bike, now it be transformed it to the muscle bike of my childhood dreams. Size for a big boy lots of chrome with some Patriotic bling.

Gravel bikes

I decided to make this thread because gravel bikes are popular on RRB at this time.

@Bob Stuke , nice conversion of an old 26er to Monster Cross / gravel ! I can't quite see the head badge, which frame is that? Very cohesive build; chrome frame with all the black, perfect saddle, old school actual 'tape' on the bars.

Welcome to the TT Winter Build Off! RaT oN~!

Its a early eighties Mongoose ATB. I have owned going on 40 years and just given it a complete make over. The black trim does to chrome what velvet does to diamonds. I think its one of the most stunning bikes I have ever built.

Love that frame! Huffy El Dorado!

Here's what I did with mine a few years back for a MBBO

(MBBO4 Class 1) Super Slingshot

I've grown to love Huffys. I restored a Rail for my son last MBBO and he loves it! I'm almost done restoring a Super Stock for a friend and it looks very cool. But, like all muscle bikes, they didn't make one for a guy like me. So... I have to make one for myself. A 26" Huffy Super...

Looking forward to your 'patriotic bling'.

The first bike build that I posted on RRB almost ten years ago was also named 'Old Glory'!

Looks cool!
Any issues with the springer hitting the top tubes when it turns?

Starting to piece Old Glory the last week or two. Did some Patriotic decorating to the chain ga

When you asked that question I think my heart missed a beat or two. Just checked it out and it turns fine.

The chain guard and the darts on the fork looks great!

Less than two weeks to go, but Old Glory is coming along.
