Thanks Toro! I like it, just need to get a better solution to the rear wheel situation, the power is just too hard on IGH's over time, they just can't take the heavy cargo loads & BBSHD power very well, my second Shimano Nexus Inter-3 IGH is already starting to slip in 3rd :rolleyes: Going to...

So I thought I would make a thread for this build (they are never done you know hehehe) because I had a wild hair give me a great idea on how to better attach my cargo pods (coolers). Right now, I have a pretty crazy mix of scrap I just had laying around and had to come up with something quick...

Nice! Which 3-sp IGH are you using? I have a Shimano Nexus Inter-3 ... but I think I am going to switch to a fixed gear or single speed hub, just not wanting any chance it will go out on me, I know I could live with it stuck in 2nd (1 to 1 ratio) so I am positive I could live with a single speed.

So I don't have anything other than links to show so far, but I finally found a decent looking cruiser frame with disc that I like! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EA8NVL8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Going to add a Lunacycle BBSHD with Hot-Rod settings on this guy too...

Hello! I'm brand new to restoring an old bike, and I really want to keep this one as original as I can: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=29430 I'd like to safely remove grease and dirt with out harming the paint/finish and properly lubricate everything. There are...

Thanks for the warm welcome! I will soon have an Electric kit for this bike, but first if anyone can help, I'd LOVE to find out what model of JC Higgins this is? Or should I start a new thread for that?

Hello there, I'm new to the whole vintage/rat-rod bike thing, and I'm particularly interested in powered bikes, and I just got the opportunity to restore/build a bike for my dad, and I want to make sure I do it right! Here's my latest project (really my first vintage bike, I ride 80's vintage...
