Nope. LeMadness is going down with a needle and thread!

Not at all shabby for my second ever attempt at a custom bike seat

@handyandy1100 is cranking out some muscle wood goodness on his "Mean Machine" Spaceliner build.

@GTHOtrod is taking his gusset work to the Art-déco level

Vacillating

Not sure which direction this build will take at this point. Starting point is this stretch step through cruiser frame Plus a bunch of donor tube. Plus some cutting and welding.

@metalchewy is foil leafing his wheels on Brazen:

Brazen

This old Shelby frame was.given to me a little over a week ago. It looks like one of the previous owners dipped the 4 corners In Brass electroplating. 7 speed nexus. 57mm wheels. Waiting for spokes. Still working on a bars and a whole lot of details. More to come.

@Reallybigtim has this beauty happening:

ROUNDING THE BEND

Here we go again! After two failed Build-Off finishes with my '41 Elgin Twin 20, I am bound and determined to complete it (to my satisfaction) this time. So, I felt that it would only be proper (and fair) to re-assemble the Twin 20 back to its original "as found" condition. Kind of a re-set...

@MazdaFlyer has this very cool and mind bending rear spring fork:

Columbia 🐪 Back - ‘21 or ‘34

If I actually continue on this course I’d like blow my Westfield Columbia Camelback apart and rebuild it. Maybe it gets pretty instead of pretty rusty, just short of a restoration. Have a new set of bars for it one way or the other. I’m including the original find and build link from a few...

Looks good on the frame,

and GREAT with the bars!

I could enter it in class II just for fun.

Did you notice the SW floating hub paired up with the springer fork? That could be a bouncy adventure!

No, I didn't notice, totally distracted by the rad mower! Ok, maybe it was the beautiful Twin Bar Elgin

Oh snap there it is

 

[MattiThundrrr]

I could just do a quick grind, slather it in Bondo, and call it good. I could. But I won't

Wow. Just wanted to thank you for that

Now my phone is covered in slobber

My wife says that metalchewy's wheelset is too much, too over the top. What does she know, she won't even let me try colored rubber on her Schwinn

She's also asked me to stop showing her pictures and blabbing about them all the time. So maybe stop posting so many wicked pictures of them, mkay? For my marriage?

 

[MattiThundrrr]

And Ride 'em High, you testing the ability of the internet to handle BLING with a saucy boudoir shot?

That's gold, Jerry. Gold
