    Barn Rescue 1936 Fleetwood Supreme

    Wow! Blast from the past! This was one of the first old bikes I pursued based on an online sale listing. Much of the reason I do this is for the thrill of the hunt, I drove all the way to Kentucky to get this.

    Ratrod Project Finished... -PHOTOS-

    I definitely had to cut the steer tube down, but the end result worked out. There was still enough thread on the top of the tube and all of the springer bracket angles fit.

    Ratrod Project Finished... -PHOTOS-

    Here's a project I was tinkering with for a while, it was more of a design concept than a bike you could ride and live with (although it's ridable)... still don't know what to call it. It's going on permanent display at a St. Louis advertising/marketing/creativity company on Thursday so I...

    Classic Rat

    Been wanting to throw something together for a while that echoes what we consider the classic ratrod elements we see in the old cars. Red wheels, white walls, black body (yeah I know it's been done to death, oh wells). Started with a '57 Straight Bar and slapped some parts on it. I hate to...

    interested in a mountain bike

    "Don't want to break the bank" means something different to everyone. $450 is just about the ground floor in MTB prices these days, but that's a good "bike shop quality" bike. This can be a bike that lasts for years and years if treated well enough and maintained.

    Bike Trailer Ideas

    Longtime no see RRB. I've been incredibly busy this year traveling the world and building bikes, this has left me much less internet time than in the past, oh wells. Thinking about going to Mackinac Island next summer and seeing as how the island is bicycle/horse drawn transportation only I...

    North American Handmade Bicycle Show 2012

    Ira's bike had some really cool details (but don't all of the NAHBS bikes?). It used matching Chris King headset, BB, and hubs on the bike. Then the trailer had the same hubs, and two headsets, one one mounted radially, and one mounted axially on the trailer to allow the trailer to both turn and...
