[OldSkool]

*******************************************GUESS WHO's BACK ****************************************** hahaha....



No NOT the "KID"... I WISH, hahaha.... It's been a while since the last build off & I thought it would be a great time to GET THIS PARTY or should I say BUILD-OFF STARTED & FIRE IT UP a little, Hahhaha....



FEELS Good to be back.... Been so busy with work and every day activity, No time for anything else, BUT I'M GOING TO MAKE TIME !
A lot of different ideas are going through my head & It's looking like I will be naming my bike "THE 8-BALL TRACKER SLACKER", hahah... I'm thinking on the terms of one of these:



or maybe like this one... or a combo of both ??? :



A board tracker style bicycle that "Lacking" a motor, NO MOTOR.... That's why I'm adding the "SLACKER" to the name . . . "PEDAL POWER" hahah.... All right, I think I got the game plan down ??? Ya RIGHT.... Now it's time to head to the "BOXES" "GARAGE" "SHED" to get some parts together & get them posted . . .

We will start HERE first, hate going through them boxes ! hahah...



All Right.... Besides building Bikes & checking out your guys "KOOL" bikes here.... You know where I would rather be, haahha....



SEE YOU GUYS SOON with some Pictures....

Looking forward to checking out your build. Love the motorized bikes!

 

[OldSkool]

Hey Thanks guys... Appreciate the "WELCOME" ! My Bike is not going to be motorized, "PEDAL POWER"... I'm going to try and have something similar to the two pictures of the "INDIAN"... Love them ones !!! Maybe have bits of one, some stuff from the other, something close to resemble an Indian bike (not original) with my own little touches added to it

Going to try and load some "PARTS" later on . . . Having Trouble again with "PHOTOBUCKET" uploading

 

[MrLeghorn]

I loved the bike you created last year, look forward to this build!

 

[OldSkool]

Here's some parts and misc stuff for my build...





Tank & Forks:









1950's AMF Cleveland Welding Co (CWC) Roadmaster Cycle Frame.

 

[OldSkool]

I believe the frame was made from 1948 - 1953. Correct me if I'm wrong ?

YES . . . Pictures finally loaded after (3) attempts !!! What a "PAIN" !!!

 

[OldSkool]

Finally got a little work done & a few pics for ya . . .

Frame, Forks & Tank Primed !



Any suggestions for a better site to load pictures ??? Got one picture loaded and I got Kicked off again ?

***PHOTOBUCKET-SUCKS***

 

[OldSkool]

Here's a shot of the tank I was going to use, but I changed my mind and will be going with the
bottom tank, hahah....



Oh well, got one more Picture added & Kicked off again . . . I'll try loading some more later !

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Love the direction you are going, looks cool.
I use Flickr for my photos and it usually works well, takes a bit to get used to after using the bucket though...

Luke.

 

[OldSkool]

Hey "Thanks" Luke, I'm going to try and load a few more then checkout Flickr if the problem keeps up . . .
A few more pics . . .

Solid "Oak" Tank, hahaha... A lot of carving involved to get it to fit between the bars, sanding, sanding and did I mention...."MORE SANDING" by hand, hahah... Gotta a few plans for it

 

[LukeTheJoker]
