    Question about Springer Forks

    I am going to have to build one of those forks, and I guess another bike to put them on.

    Rat Rod Magzzzz

    Ol Skool Rodz- it's put out by the same people and is very similar, but no black and white pages in there. Hot Rod Deluxe- put out by hot rod magazine and includes many of there older articles on vintage hot rodding. Traditional Rod & Kulture- my favorite, less over the top rat rod stuff and...

    Winter Anyone?

    It's somewhere between -9 and -14 right now, depending on which bank sign your reading. I'm surprised that my car even started today. I really miss California right now.

    My current projects...

    Very nice. At first I rolled my eyes when I read red and black, but seeing it on the bike is a different story.

    my Higgins-1st build

    my Higgins-1st build

    I took the bike for a nice cruise yesterday after I had made some little adjustments to help it fit me better. It was way more comfortable with the bars positioned back instead of pointing straight down. That seat was COLD though. My butt was numb for a while from sitting on cold bare metal...

    my copy cat bike (mountain frame board tracker)

    Those plates look awesome. It was very cool of that guy to make you two sets.

    my Higgins-1st build

    Here's the laid back seat post. I rode it around the neighborhood today. It's a pretty comfortable ride. I did some tweaking with it to make it more comfortable. I turned the handlebars back towards me a little so I can sit up a little higher. I wish I could make the seat lay closer to the...

    my Higgins-1st build

    Her bike will be easy enough to put back together. I just "borrowed" the parts, which means I have to give them back eventually.
