Here's the first mock up... Found these really nice wide rims, polished them up and swapped the hub on the rear for a good coaster brake (looks like a Shimano).. My buddy found a nice piece of off-white leather in an alley that he's gonna sew up into a seat cover for me. People throw the koolest...

Thanks for the compliments!! I'm thinking of going with a single speed hub and not a 3 speed... Mostly I'm just leaning towards a cleaner look with no cables. Also thinking of going with a 26x2.125 white wall in the rear, and the front 26x1-3/8 wheel and white wall of an old road bike I...

Kept forgetting to get some pics, but I found one I took before adding the black.. New tires came in the mail as well!!!! Been working with a really kool dude trading some paint work for parts. Got a 3spd hub, Schwinn style springer forks, some nice wheels, an old Schwinn crank, a couple...

I haven't had a bike in a long while, and really have an itch to go ride, so I started to piece together this beater... Just something to cruise downtown, nothing super special. I picked up this frame on craigslist for a few dollars. Its a Schwinn, but I don't know anything about it. This week...

Thanks man! They have a lot of room for improvement, but thats why I'm here LOL! Thats crazy you can't have motor bicycles there!! Technically anything that's on the street with any kind of power here has to get a safety inspection and you need a motorcycle/drivers license, but at least where I...

Way neat!!!! I've always thought pedal powered vehicles were really interesting. Have any of you guys heard of the Kinetic Grand Championship?? (If any of you are from my neck of the woods of course you have!) I helped design and engineer a few of them in high school, they're a whole lot of fun...

I love this bike, man!!!!! Absolutely killer!!!! Very inspiring... This is one of the bikes that makes me want to get back into bicycles so dang bad.

Re: 50's Schwinn Rat-Rod Boardtracker Forgot to ask, how does the kick start turn the motor over since it has a centrifugal clutch? Is there a one-way bearing somewhere in the setup?

Re: 50's Schwinn Rat-Rod Boardtracker Koolest bike ever, man!!!!! I've got a 8hp Briggs build I'm figuring out right now.. It's based on an old straight bar frame (was told its a Columbia) that I stretched 10". Going for a '30s land speed kind of look. I'm really digging your kick start, thats...

My great-great-grandfather, Thomas Spacie, had several patents for similar sets of roller skates from the early 1900s that are "self propelled" so to speak... one of the drawings is very similar to these. I kinda want a set, they look dangerous!!!!

I've had good results with the Krylon "Glitter Blast" stuff and their triple thick clear. It comes out slightly textured if your going for bass boat coverage, but if you just want a little bit of sparkle it should work out just fine. If you want more of a pearl effect rather than a peppered...

Hey all, very glad to have found this site!! I've been into this style of bike since I was old enough to take of the training wheels. My first was one of those Redline cruisers with the cheesy flame stickers and red wall tires... I was 10 or so when I got it, and its pretty much what got me...
