Re: Bounce to the Ounce Update 12/1!!! haha, i just read this whole thread.... what a geek. looking very cool indeed, even though i'm more of a Coke girl myself ;-) and i agree, mad skills.

also.... who's bike is this: and where can i get a sprocket like that? it's fabulous (i love stars <3)

Very cool, that's gonna be lots of fun! I know it's working out well for me and Charl :-) we love working together on any project!

Iiii don't say silly things like "crikey" "strewth" or "cobber"... i'm from south australia, so i just say "no worries" and "youreright" a lot.... and we say 'ey alot, kinda like Canadians..... oh, and i call people who's names i don't know "mate" meanwhile, found some more bikes and bits in...

sooo, started putting it together, waiting on a proper seat and some fender braces and bits and pieces, so still not finished by any means, but definately looking more like a bike: probably still another good day or two of work in it.... i'll get a good pic of it out in the sun when it's done...

P.S. i think it's looking less rat-rod and more hot-rod now..... and not so much with the punkrock either....

haha, thanks KOTA, air compressor gave it a nice shape hey? :P Uncle Stretch, is that a job offer? :p bit of a commute though.....

looks pretty cool, but not so much with the comfortable.....

update in my build thread, wooo!

ok, so today we basically got some painting done... started by bending the fork.... as previously stated we don't have a vice.... sooo, we put a bolt though the fork where wheels go, hooked it under the foot of Charl's air compressor, and put a big pipe over the head stem and pushed! voila...

Hi KOTA Jut thought i'd drop in and say hi and take a look at some of your other bikes.... crazy!

Hey ryan, good luck with your exams! bike looks cool, where in AUS are you? I'm in SA :-)

Hey! awesome bikes! I've just signed up too and am in South Australia, where abouts in aus are you?

redeye: yeah it did! we didn't really expect it too either... KOTA: My first build full-stop, Charl's first custom bike build, he used to work for a bike shop as a kid, so he's built bikes out of a box and knows how they go together, never built a wheel before though.... we've also done a lot...

Ooh! update! Charl's just been messing around with putting the spokes back on the wheels for me, he'd never done it before, but thought he'd have a go at the twisting, turned out awesome, he's pretty clever!

Re: Decided not to go with the candy green on this one... Nice, very nice.

Wow! that looks rad! so, all the bikes i have have two cross spokes (just went and checked), should i just add 10mm to that to get a good length to do this?

here we go, now with pics: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=21712

Ok, sooo for anyone who hasn't read my intro (which is probably most people) we started with this: which i picked up off the side of the road. Didn't really know what it was or what to do with it, except that i want it to be a sort of cruiser and i want to put a bananna seat on it. haven't...

wow! that is ugly! and it does look a lot like mine too :-P
