What is your dream bike build?

my dream bike would be something shaft drive.

I have several concept builds that I have designed and hope to get around to them eventually. This is one of those. I wouldn't call it a dream build, but it is one that I 'dreamed up'.

It's a CWC Woody Cruiser based loosely on the old Buick woody wagons.

Now THAT is a cool concept!

My dream build is my Schwinn Black Phantasm. Just need to find a welder and motivation, how sad am I?

Wow renaissance man that Buick woody based cwc design is a lot better that the woody themed Columbia bike i was in the process of designing

But for dream builds that would have to be a Monark Wingbar

with as many aluminum parts i can put on it

i would use a monark silverking "winged" deluxe m1 gooseneck

it would definitely have to have a 50's french aluminum chainguard

a kustom kruiser (glide deluxe / woodside) aluminum springer

for a saddle nothing would be better than an Ideale leather saddle with Duralium rails

my dream bike would be something shaft drive.

I recently bought a cool shaft driven bike. I wanted to stretch it, but it's so nice, it may be some time before I touch it.

I'd love to finish my Columbia Mach 5 with all correct parts but it ain't gonna happen anytime soon. For now I will just add the funkiest parts possible to it. I've had this bike for about 6 years and I'm always changing stuff on it. This is about the fourth seat, fifth set of wheels, third set of handlebars, second chainguard. I'm about to put some purple tires on it that are from a bmx project that I never finished. Also putting a troxel purple glitter banana seat with white racing stripes on it. The blue guard is coming off and a metallic pink one exactly like it is going on, but this time I will cut the rear so it fits the bike somewhat proper

To me, money no object builds don't do much for me. That's not to say I couldn't come up with something quite expensive.

My problem is that I am all over the place with bikes. I have my regular staples of my stable (road, mountain, singlespeed hybrid) but a cruiser has always been something of a "flavor of the month." I have been pretty successful finding cruisers, spending just a few dollars to rehab and tweak, and eventually selling for a profit or at least breaking even. Having a long term build where I stay focused on a vision and the financial backing to see it to completion isn't feasible for me. The one full-on build I have done cost me way too much money for a bike I ended up hating the way it felt. I only spent so much time and money on it because I thought it was going to be a replacement for one in my stable.

As of late, I am hankering for a bmx inspired bike. I really want to build something around a 26/24" wheelset with Felt Berm Master tires. In all honestly, if I came across a Felt Iron Cross 400 or Bolt, I'd just snag it.

RMan, that CWC Family Truckster idea is freaking awesome!!!!!

One of my dream builds is to build up an adult size Sears Screamer. No drawings. It's all roughly in my head. I have the frame and handlebars. I have a Beast rim and a SA wide 3 speed hub and a Surley Black Floyd. I have a few other ideas around it including a combo banana seat and sissy bar back made from some nice wooden water skis. It may have my Spoiler springer. I am also thinking off making an insane Big Daddy style shifter with a magic 8 ball sized grip. Codename for this build is " Nanner Puddin ".

Mine may sound lame but I want to build my childhood bike. A Huffy Thunder Road with the 56 plaques on it.
