One-Liner.... Now in FINISHED BIKES thread !

[OddJob]

She was first purchased as a 'garden bike' when I was looking for parts for my BO-X build, 'Beer Boy Delivery'. She had a nice rack, it ended up on the BBD.

She spent last summer making friends at the fire pit patio.....

She spent the winter under a blanket of snow and cold.....waiting for the Spring.....



Spring has Sprung! The BACK40 bike shed will host it's first RRB build thread this season. It will be inspired by the product of a creative genius on this site, @The Renaissance Man , and his 'raising the bar' for girl's bike builds (nudge-nudge-wink-wink).....

Here's a pic of the inspiration that arrived a week ago. Can't wait to get started~! 'Tanks' TRM!

TRM to the rescue!

Luke.

 

[Big Ape]

Cool, another ... change bike!!

 

[kingfish254]

Can't wait to see what you do with the TRM tank in your new bike shed!

 

[raggedjim]

Yeah, Renaissance Man has brought new life to the fairer-sexed spaceliners.

Good luck on the build, Rg

What are the odds, I just found a frame for my tank. I'll be working on it along with my build off bike, looking forward to how this turns out.

My ADD kept me from waiting on another very special build I have been thinking about for the past couple of months. So I posted it in the 'BUILDS' forum thread. It is entitled ' Faded Glory' and I'm already into it a couple weeks....excited about the possibilities ahead! Please check it out here:

There's OJ...wondered where your thread was. This looks like a great plan. You going for the patina look?

Yep Chad, it wouldn't be an Odd-Job if it wasn't rusty! Check out my new One-Liner Vid I that was just posted.......

 

[OddJob]

Check out One-Liner Vid I......getting started.....Rat on!

 

[Fv2]

Do you have a theme to this build?

 

[OddJob]

Do you have a theme to this build?

That's a really good question Falstaff. You have me figured out....Beer delivery- BBD, Woody surf wagon-Shelby Flyer Woody, Fat desert klunker- Mesa Buggie, faded red white and blue / military for Faded Glory.....
In the video I mentioned a 'hot rod' theme. Thinking rusty rat rod, but maybe some bright rim paint, flames, lowered bars, seat way back...and I like the cafe racer look if I could pull that off....open to ideas and input !

 

[Fv2]

Well I did say in the Rebels Cause thread that the TRM tank design lends itself to the little b****rd theme, which was a racecar. So I like the idea of a rat racer.
The bars being upside down in the video looks good to me, Bull Rat is like that and very comfortable to ride.

You've got a creative mind, so I'm sure you've been researching old drag cars and board trackers. The cafe thing could be interesting, but the idea for a seat evades me.
I'm sure you'll pull it off tho.

 

[G-Matt]

Good presentation I'll stay tuned . I can't wait to see how you make that tank look rusty & old . Some day I will be trying to do the same thing.

Love the rusty frame with those slicks. Should be very cool. Can't wait to see how you rust up that tank.

 

[metalchewy]

Great start. Cafe racer is a fun ride, looking forward to seeing what you build ;-)
