    Covid Bike Boom Cooling Off?

    Noticing the big box stores in my area are starting to have more inventory. Waiting on the big sell off to happen before Christmas when everyone is hard up for money.

    (MBBO #5 Class 2) Ratty Red Rider

    Thanks. Ended up narrowing the rails at the back to move it forward more and it looks pretty nice. Not sure what to do for the sissy bar yet. That's interesting. Only thing I knew I wanted was the length then started laying out the shape with a marker and this is where I ended up. Sure is...

    This is what I'm thinking for the front mount. Something different and it flows with the seat. Sent from my LGL33L using Tapatalk

    Thanks, it came out pretty good for my first one. Thanks, it came out better than I thought. Hoping the upholstery turns out good too. Sent from my LGL33L using Tapatalk

    Got what will be my seat pan cut out. It is 21 inches long, 6 inches at the widest, 2 and a half at the nose, and 4 inches at the tail. Have some sanding and final shaping to do. Now to figure out a sissy bar and find some foam and vinyl to cover the seat. Sent from my LGL33L using Tapatalk

    Up next will be the start of my seat and sissy bar hopefully. Think I'm going to sacrifice a skateboard for an ichi style seat and maybe some wheelie bar parts. Sent from my LGL33L using Tapatalk

    Got my handlebars and gave my stem a bath to remove as much rust as possible. Using the original grips. Sent from my LGL33L using Tapatalk

    (MBBO #5 Class 2) Ratty Red Rider

    This is my starting point. An AMF Sky Rider 24" boys bike. Fork is from a 26" AMF road bike of some sort. Original rear wheel and a 20" front wheel. Paint is scratched, faded, and missing in spots but that is how this one will stay. Still digging through my stash for parts. I lucked into this...

    Future Builds?

    I always have a bunch I want to build. Just finished up a klunker and already want another. Have a lightweight road bike in the works, a couple bmx's to finish, kids bikes to build and give away, want a 24" cruiser bmx to race, a tall bike or penny fakething would be fun, and a burrito bike or...

    NEXT Generation Rumblebee (MBBO Class 1)

    Went and looked at bars and seats today. Now, which to get first? Bars range from 11 to 15 inch rise. Small and agile or bigger is better?

    NEXT Generation Rumblebee (MBBO Class 1)

    Going to start stripping stickers and paint today. Bars and hopefully seat will be bought or built next weekend. Planning to do the sissy bar myself and may be even a wheelie bar.

    Firestone Freshen up

    Looks like it was candy apple red which is a red tinted clear coat usually over a silver base coat. I have a 1965 Hawthorne middleweight that has paint in roughly the same condition. It was candy apple red.
