I'd be remiss if I only voted for my boys bike...what a great line up! So many fantastic bikes. I scrolled thru the bikes trying to pick a favorite and I just can't. Great work everyone, really...just fantastic stuff.

blue seat finally arrived....took forever....weather is awful here so no good shots....

thanks you all! the build was a lot of fun. We learned a lot and even had success in creating ghost flames on the bike (not pictured) They are on the forks, I used fine line tape over a semi gloss finish and sprayed the gloss black down. Peeled the tape off, hit it with clear and there is just...

oops, almost forgot the video [video]

Here she is in all her budget built, rattle canned, used parts glory. The Raven! A little peeved the bue seat did not show up in time...but dems da brakes I guess.... Trek 20" cruiser frame Odyssey Brakes Duro 2.75 repop white wall slick Duro waffle tread white wall at 1.75 Unknown Sissy...

Well, the boy dug his presents...so much so that there was no relaxation after the gifts were opened. Now we are waiting on the seat to arrive. We will take some good pics and post it to the completed section....

very cool bike, nice clean build....nice job!

well, it has been some time since I last updated. I had this week off from job A and job B so I've been catching up on projects around the house. Over the last 2 months I have tried various colors and styles of pin striping on the flames but I did not find anything I liked so I decided to go...

Well the ghost flames didn't turn out like I planned and now we decided to change the color scheme of the bike. I've ordered a blue sparkle seat and hand grips to tie in the blue flames. Here it is with its first coat of clear. Not bad for some rattle cans and a few hours or prep work. I'm real...

I've never really done anything like this before...I imagine if I had all the right equipment it would look much better but....I don't think it looks too bad. Not exactly what I had practiced on the scrap metal but it looks really great against the black. I may try to cover it with some "Night...

well, I was feeling creative last night after thinking about flames for a while...the tape came in so I masked off some licks...I like the way they came out and it will give me an excuse to play with the air brush later. I had considered not doing ghost flames and instead pin-striping them...

crazy cool....that rear tire is meaty!
