    DRAG-ON

    Found this industrial sage green, 1954 CWC on the bay for a fair price. I tore town my muscle bike entry from last year, the Blue Dream for most of its parts. Mainly the seat, handlebars and crankset will be used. I also chopped its frame into pieces for its usable bits. It has been welded on...

    Muscle Bike Names

    What’s in a name? I think we all struggle with titling our builds and giving our bikes a name. I’ve changed bike names in the past, mid build. Sometimes it just doesn’t feel right. Is it a he? Or she? Or whatever? Does it evoke thoughts of muscle cars and hot rods? It’s rather difficult to find...

    Cleveland Welding Company Roadmaster

    I finally found a frame to build a board track racer. I’ve been searching for a some solid bones like a Schwinn DX, but they are pricey and not something I really wanted to alter. This is a CWC, most likely a Roadmaster. I will know more once it arrives. It has had some welded repairs done to...

    A MOUNTAIN RAT BMX

    A MOUNTAIN RAT BMX This 29” Mongoose Excursion was discovered near my apartment dumpsters, after the complex decided to remove all of the bike racks from each building. Everyone had a chance to get their bikes out before the scrapper came. There were several bikes. Enough to build several...

    A MOUNTAIN RAT BMX

    Sometimes, projects just fall in your lap at the right time. Last year, I found my 59’ Schwinn frame at the Cool Bikes Club swap meet, which was right at the start of the build off. This time, my apartment complex decided to get rid of all bike racks. Any bikes that weren’t removed would be at...

    Cable Repair & Fray Prevention/Shifter Modification

    I recently made an upgrade of safety to my 2023 build off bike, The Hellion. I swapped out the Shimano 3 speed freewheel I built for a Sachs Torpedo 3 speed with the coaster brake. Though my sissy bar mounted caliper brake is safe enough for me, this is now my wife’s bike and it needed more...

    Hellion

    Hellion started with a 1959 Schwinn Cantilever frame. I picked it up for 10 bucks, already painted Satin Black with an amateur pinstripe job in Fire Red 1Shot paint. I picked up the 1969 Schwinn Stingray handlebars from the same vendor and I felt that they should go together. From there I slowly...

    Hellion

    I picked up this 1959 Schwinn at my first Denver swap meet. This is when I met Don, who I purchased the frame from for ten bucks. It is pretty rough with quite a bit of pitting, but someone decided to paint it a satin black with some amateur, but nice pin striping. I need to source a lot of...

    Blue Dream

    Looking to refresh this junky Huffy. It has sat for a couple years in a carport, where the seat got stolen, tires rotted and metal rusted. It’s getting a banana seat and medium sized ape hangers. If I have time and find the parts, this will be another 3 speed with a trick brake system. Last...

    BO15 High Plains Drifter (The Finish Line)

    Starting the Krate Krusher(High Plains Drifter) bike. This is my first bike build-off. I am altering a 1959 Murray BF Goodrich Sabre Challenger, in to a “Krate Like” lowrider. I picked up a 3 speed shifter off of the bay, that will help power the middle weight frame with 26 inch wheels. More...
