Thanks for the comments guys, I'm diggin it for sure. I laid down a few pinstrips last night, but I want to do more so when it's done I'll post up some pics. I'm heading out to the Behind Bars show this sunday with this bike so we'll see how it goes. Not sure if I should use the front fender...

Ok here's some updated pics, I know it's not a fully custom bike but I'm pretty stoked about it. Here's the rear gusset, drilled out, the other side doesn't effect the lettering here's the front gusset Here you can see the newly added headlight and the chopped rear fenders, also some new...

This thing is bad ...! love the whole tihng.

Thanks, the cranks are annoying me, Never been a fan of one piecers, plus all my pedals are all 9/16". Here's what I put on my cruiser 1,they are a little long at 180's but they look better

Picked up this Electra Rat Rod from the 2007 era I believe. It's not in the best of shape but it's almost all there. I had to take the fenders and wheels off to get it in the car. It had a white wall rear tire and a new flame tire up front. It came with another flane tire for the back and a new...

Ok I've searched around and can't seem to find an answer to my question. I scored a triple clamp(moto) fork from a friend. Unfortunately the legs taper from 1.25" at the triple trees to 1.5" at the dropout. The 1.25" section is not long enough for my headtube. I want to replace the legs with...

Thanks, I thought it was a nice touch. The coaster are steel, 3 spd's are alloy. Anyone have a recommendation for a saddle?

Took this thing on a 30 mile ride friday night, had no issues, except that I thought I seat this big would be comfy compared to the more tradtional seats I ride more often. So here's some of the mods I've done Bottle opener & some pinstripping(the thin blue lines)

I just picked up this new Electra in a trade from a friend. I wanted the metallic blue but it was not available, so silver it is. Unfortunatley the triple clamp fork I have will not fit due to the lame lowers necking down to fit into the clamps. What a lame design. So I may just make my own...

Well my bike won't be here till thursday it looks like. So much for wednsday's night ride. I should make Bike party friday though. Today I met a fellow member down at Faber's a local shop only open on saturdays, it's more of a weekly bike yard sale. I took some pics of some nice old bikes. I'll...

Sensor,do you have any more pics of it?

Re: Drilling New Spoke Holes in Hub? I'm guessing the LBS guy you talked to was holding the hub in hand when he said to drill it. Which would give him a better idea if it could handle the machining. From my experience and knowing that many hub manufactures including Shimano & Chris King do not...

So I'm looking at bikes from all over for inspiration for my first scratch build and thought maybe some other people would like to see what & why we like the bikes we like. Here's a bike I found tonight that I really like. I dig the leaf sprung fork, the black and wood color scheme, the open...

Re: Drilling New Spoke Holes in Hub? Not sure where you live but where I live we have an abundance of sneaky dirty take any case that get's them paid lawyers. So that being said I never put it past a lawyer to get paid. But I hear ya. That is a nice hub. let us know how it goes which ever...

I've been looking at all the bikes here on RRB and notice a few that have large headlights. I'm thinking of using an old car headlight bucket converted to an H4 bulb for a headlight. Is that what some of these bikes have done? If so how'd they wire it? What did they use for a powersource...
