Here's mine...

I recently put together a Ruff Cycles Porucho. It's not totally finished but got it where I could ride it to make sure all the parts work and to try it out for fit. Here's what it has on it so far:

• Ruff Cycles Porucho frame
• Sunlite Deluxe Springer 1" threaded fork (used adapters to fit 1 1/8" headtube)
• Felt 24"x50mm gold wheels, 12g spokes
• Sturmey Archer front hub with drum brake
• Nexus 8 speed rear hub with roller brake
• Felt cream Thick Brick 24x3 tires
  
• 1-piece crankset with Electra Sweetheart chainring
• Shimano NX-01 oval link chain
• Nuvo kickstand
  
• Project 346 Basman handlebars
• Brooks grips
• Crane Suzu brass bell
  
• Shimano hand brake levers with 8-speed thumb shifter
• Brooks B33 saddle

It just has red oxide primer on it but planning to build a tank and fit fenders and then have the frame, tank, fenders, fork powder coated maroon similar to that used on the Felt Deep 6.

Here are the wheels. I started out with a pair of Felt Hot Wheels hoops that had never been laced. I knew I had to build something around them.

Almost done, as you can see it's lacking the pedals.

Ruff Cycles Tango S v.10
Project 346 Balloon Tires 26 x 2.35 stretched
26 x 4 inch rims from a Mongoose Beast
Fork and stem also from Mongoose Beast.
Sram Automatix Coaster Hub

This was the first bike I've ever built. I had to re-lace the rear wheel because I needed to change the hub. The stock hub from the Mongoose Beast does not fit because it is too wide. Spray can paint job, satin baby blue. I forgot to clear coat it before assembling to bike DOH! I might strip it in a few weeks anyhow and go for a bare metal look.

I am sort of disappointed with the front fork. As you can see, there is major wheel gap between the wheel and the top of the fork.

So I decided to remove the ebike kit off my Ruff bike and put it back to old school 3 speed cruiser. I actually think it looks better without the battery and all the wiring. I also turned the forks around for a different look.

Rides like I'm floating on a cloud.
