Well done to all the finishers and thanks to everyone who participated in the Rat Rod Blades challenge! Was fun and interesting, and great to see all the skills and creativity of the RRB crowd executed in a new way. Thanks also to everyone who watched, gave support, and shared their experience...

Do you use any "Personal Protective Equipment" for bike building? Aprons, gloves, overalls, dust masks, etc. I don't really use anything except for eye protection when appropriate, and old clothes designated as ok to get grease and other stuff over. I've toyed with the idea of getting an...

Welcome to the Rad Rod Blades 2021 Challenge! Feb 1 - April 30 The goal of the challenge is to make a completed functional knife where there were only parts before, or if you're beginning with a complete knife, then it should be re-made, refurbished, or customized to the point where there is a...

Dream bikes, top 5 only. This was actually kinda tough, a lot of good bikes didn't make the cut. I surprised myself when no HDs made the list, and no EVs. 1. Triumph Scrambler 2006 - 2016 I've wanted one of these since they first came out. The perfect bike, looks great, you can cruise on it...

I seem to remember seeing someone making a custom banana seat pan out of plywood, but can't find the thread now. Anyone remember this, and can link me the thread? Maybe it wasn't a banana seat, but in my memory it looks kinda like the ichi bike skateboard seats. These are cool too. I just...

I need to shim up from 22.2 to 24.5. I know there's pre made shims, but what are some common tricks for this size? This isn't for the stem, it's for attaching a switch made for 1" motorbike bars.

What's your kitchen knife collection look like? I only have four nice knives, the set of three Globals were a first year anniversary present from Mrs. Verrtinski, they're awsome, still great, despite a lifetime of abuse and very little sharpening. The Mundial chef's knife is good too, but I...

I got a splinter on the end of my index finger so deep that I can't even see it. Can't figure out how to get the little dastard out. Let's hear your home remedies for splinter removal. And to keep it on topic, here's a picture of a bicycle from Google images

You're in your kitchen and think... That would make a nice shifter Hmm, headlight housing? I dunno what I could use this for, but it seems like it should go on a bike :39: What regular items have you got around your house that you always think you could turn into bicycle parts?

Doing some research for my own build. Post pics of your bikes that have motorcycle headlights on them. Extra info like what size headlight, fork spacing, battery, wiring challenges, battery life, how bright, etc. would be grand.

For me it was this one. I can't remember who built it or find the thread. But at the time the only 'custom' bikes I was vaguely aware of was low riders and maybe muscle bikes from old tv shows, but I didn't even know they had a name. I was looking into putting apes on my mountain bike because...

I got this stand from Aldi about four years ago, and I've seen that others here have them too. It's pretty good considering that I paid beans for it, but not without its quirks. Recently the clamp that holds the main arm and controls rotating the bike forward or back (relative to the bike...

Um... wut? Ok, discuss.

BMX from the 80s & 90s owned by my cousins. Fist two pics taken back in the day, last one taken this year of a survivor.

This is cool. Never seen one before. Found it on the bike wall. 1896 apparently. Someone on RRB should buy it and build it out so I can watch :bigsmile: Listing here https://www.ebay.com/itm/174422671918

Has anyone set up a PayPal Cash account? What's the deal with it? Only found out because now PayPal wants my SSN before it hands over my money.
