MOSBY'S RAIDERS | POST SHOW LIVE | Ride Shots

[MazdaFlyer]

Hello Fellow Rat Rodders. We are about mid way through the build and I stopped and thought about something interesting and wanted to get a sense of how many of us out there have put together and taken apart and put together and taken apart and put together....our bikes, just to get things the way we want. I took a couple of pictures today of how my bike looks right now. Feel free to share how many times you put a part on and take it off, bend it, change it, throw it etc. and put it back on.

These shots are just great, what it's all about. What's up with the training wheels? Like what I see in your thread.

I only use them to train on.

Looks fantastic! So is that chainring off a 24inch?

[Circa Cycles]

This bike keeps getting better.It looks like the paint matches perfect I wasn't sure about the bars at first but this is becoming one of my favorites.Keep it coming

[raggedjim]

Looks like you are down to the details!

Nice bike getting nicer, Rg

I'm getting there. The wife and kids being in Williamsburg, VA this week has definately given me more evening time to mess around. I'm trying to bang out as much as possible so I can have a few weeks left to change everything again....and again.....and so on.

In general though, it is amazing how well everyones bikes are coming togethere. There is such an extreme talent pool with this group and everyone has soo much knowledge and skill. This build off is like a time capsule in a way. I mean, someone who has never built a custom bike, could read through everyones posts and become a custom bike builder. If we all stepped back and looked at all the amazing stuff going on, you would have a degree in custom rat rods.......sorry, I'm rambling on, but I am just soo impressed with how awesome everyone is doing and just grateful to be a part of such a wicked awesome community. Thank's all.

You're right, it's cool to see what people come up with. We have all escaped the box... some more than others!

Totally agree with the last few comments.
Last year was my first build and first build off. It left a lasting impression on me and I have been anxiously waiting for this one ever since. The talent, comraderie, and mind blowing creativity is unbeatable.
I don't think I would take it as far as saying that on build off is more outside the box than previous ones, just different. Go back and look through the build threads from previous build offs and prepare to have your mind re-blown just as much as it is on our current build off.

It's an honor to be working with (and against ) all of you!!!!!!!!

I think I liked it better when it was between the bars, I'd have to see a full frame shot to make up my mind.

[kingfish254]

I really liked it between the bars better too.

[Circa Cycles]

Agreed,between the bars.The seat looks great

[Peatbog]

Hmmm, I'm kinda liking the tank on the bar look.

Hey, somebody has to be different.

[kingfish254]

No, but I think we are about to.

[Circa Cycles]

I've thought about it.Just haven't had the right build.You should do it.Maybe just use suede for the graphic on the tank.I think the whole tank being suede may be too much with it so close to the seat.Let's see what you have in mind

[Peatbog]

Maybe suede that follows the line of the seat, but the rest paint. Lot of possibilities here--too many for my brain to think about.

[Peatbog]

Cool colors on that bike--ain't no wonder the cat likes it.
