I had a couple of requests to post all of my builds together. As you can see not all of them are gems! Quite a few are still waiting for the finishing touch. I would also like to thank some of the guys that have inspired me, such as Sensor, Karfer, Oldy57, Hooch, Unclestretch and of course Steve for putting this all together and for his super clean builds. I know I have left a great many builders out, but I could probably name a hundred that I get inspiration from.

This Elgin can now be ridden, but the tanks are still in primer and I would like to give it a fresh paint job.

The engine kits can be bought through websites or ebay. The frame I used is a stock Evans with a Monark fork. The Boardtracker X bike is a Fire bikes frame with a fork I made. The Merkel is a stock Hawthorne frame, again with my own fork and "tank".
 
Good to see such diversity from one person! A custom bike can be so much more than a Schwinn with a springer and I like em all. Even the fixies. Never owned one but I like the 'professional' look of them. You've combined one with a 'hotrod' look. Cool! But all your builds are top notch (or will be in the near future...)
8)

However, I 'miss' some with apes and bananas...
