Does anyone know who this person is who builds these trikes?

Here's a few pics of my latest bike build. Been wanting to put a motor on a bike for a long time. It's along way from done, but here's how it looks right now...I have shortened the cables and put on the bike chain since these pics.

I've been thinking about doing a double caliper brake setup on the front wheel for awhile now. One caliper on the front of the fork in it's normal position, and one behind the fork on the same stud. I remember seeing a picture here on RRB's of someone who had put 2 caliper brakes on the rear...

Would anyone happen to remember the website of a place that carried pleated glitter vinyl material like that used on the old banana seats? I can find it without the pleats easily, but can't seem to locate any with pleats. I am pretty sure I saw that here back about 2010. Would really like to...

I ran across a picture of a bike quite along time ago that had it's frame, the tubes, shaped like a large Coca-Cola bottle, by any chance has anyone seen this also? I've been all over the internet trying to find it, with no luck. If you ever saw it, you wouldn't forget it, WAY COOL!

I was wondering if anyone knows of anyone who sells a pivot for rear suspension. Would make building a rear suspension frame a whole lot easier. The company where this picture is from no longer has them, too bad, I really like the design. I've been searching all over, with no luck. Any help...

I found this Schwinn Sprint quite awhile ago and was wondering if anyone could help me with the year. The serial # is GA706273 and it has the # 0177 stamped on the badge. Couldn't find anything at trfindley, or a few other places I checked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [/img]

I haven't posted in a while, but have a new ride.I didn't change alot, but the seat and the handlebars. People give me a thumbs up everyday. Feels good to take a bike thats not alot, and make heads turn. Hope maybe someone likes it here.

I was looking here, http://thekneeslider.com/, and ran across this electric motorcycle, just a little ways down the page. Pretty cool. Here's more on it, http://www.comotoride.com/. Looks like it would be a blast!

This is a pic of my sisters old Evans. Can't find a serial # on it, does anyone know what year it might be? It had an issue with the top down tube at one point...enough to bend the seat tube. And yes, the chain stays appear to be bent inward. How about those odd dropouts?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what year is this Redline Proline Cruiser? I looked here, http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/info/187/, but can't find a serial # like mine. I added the front brake many years ago and painted the sprocket, the red on the forks and the yellow on the bottom bracket...

This is a pretty decent site... I was looking up different derailleur chain sizes, (go down to chains), always seemed like kind of a mystery to me, but it shouldn't be so, pretty straight forward. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Bicycles/M ... and_Repair

Merry Christmas to all the new guys and old members alike! Have a great day!

I posted this in unchained's "MY FIRST STRETCH", in "BIKE BUILDS", I didn't intend to put it there and, I apologize.So here goes my statement...I've noticed when most people paint a bike, they strip it all the way down to the bare metal. I used to do that, but have found that the stock paint is...

I made two sets of brackets to move the banana seat on my 24'' Sting Ray back a little, to get more of a stretched out ride. Wasn't too pleased with my 1st design, so I made a new pair yesterday, more tucked up under the pan and less "added on" looking. Both brackets taped together getting...

Here's a super cool bike that I hope makes it to production. You can go to their site and complete a short guestionaire, and maybe it will. http://www.derbi.com/int/index.php?opti ... Itemid=283 Tell me you wouldn't like to have one of these! 100cc and 87 lbs.

These are super cool, has anyone ever seen these? http://cgi.ebay.com/WEINMANN-brake-leve ... 7C294%3A50

Okay, I'm lookin' on Ebay, checkin' out West Coast Choppers and see a pic of MY bike, in MY backyard, for sale by someone. Check it out. One of the pic's is my bike, the other two aren't. http://cgi.ebay.com/West-Coast-Chopper- ... 7C294%3A50 Here's my post. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14220 What's up...

I'm having a problem finding a Sturmey 3-speed gear cable, in a tandem length. What I'm doing is putting Sting Ray bars on my Schwinn racer, and the cable is too short, no kiddin' right? :lol: I figure I can use the tandem cable, and cut off the shifter end of the cable wire and fabricate a new...

I knew someone years ago say, powder coating is so tough you can't hardly chip it off with a hammer. So my question is, can you powder coat a chrome rim, and use a rim brake on it? Even if you roughed up the chrome to give it some tooth for the powder coating to grab onto, could it ever hold up...
