    Mint Trip crosses the finish line!

    Mint Trip is definitely a different direction than my last year's build off bike "Hombre" This year I wanted to focus on the basics of a cruiser bike with bold color combo. Made it down to a local landmark of sorts. The barn they filmed parts of "Days of Thunder" is located about 5 miles from...

    Western Flyer

    Got this in the mock up stage right now. '52 CWC built Western Flyer, Girvin fork with the brake bosses shaved, on 24" wheels. Still working on chainring/crank for it. But I do have a cool half link chain to slap on it.

    Mint Trip crosses the finish line!

    "Roadmaster" from the winter build off that never got past a pile of parts. Finally got this thing painted, single stage enamel. Minty green with some orange accents. It will be pretty basic and clean. And comfortable to ride, which is pretty important for me. Bookmarking so I can show...

    Days of Thunder barn

    This barn is located in Mooresville NC off of HWY 150, a short drive from my neigborhood. Stopped by the other day to snap some pics of my '48 Roadmaster. (Frameset purchased from ind-chuck.)

    The Pope

    This was a local pickup only ebay buy. I really dig the lines of the frame and I've always loved the coffin chainrings. Although a repaint, it was done well and looks decent. Here it is when I got it. First transformation, stripped off the unnecessary items and added new tires, a tank and a...

    '39 Colson

    My co-worker retrieved this bike from an overgrown barn that was on a property he bought last year. He said it was hanging upside down from the left pedal. He brought it in for me to look at and try to figure out the usual questions. He told me he had plans to make yard art out of it. When he...

    26" on 24"?

    I've dug through my content and a ton of posts and can't seem to find it. Someone posted a pic of a 24" bike with 26" wheels. ?Was it here, or am I mistaken?

    Schwinn Typhoon.

    Picked this one up today. '62 one year only (right? ) Met the seller and then realized it was a 24". Brought it home anyway. Neat bike with Bendix red band automatic. Wheels are true, fenders are straight and very few paint scratches. I think it will buff out pretty good. Cool sticker on the top...

    (WBO) Roadmaster

    Starting with these parts. This build will be clean and minimal. It will have some color. Frame will be getting primer and paint in the next few weeks.

    Photos.

    My boy rides vintage. If bikes could talk, what would these two be saying? Hombre in front of the chicken house. Probably my favorite badge. What's your favorite cold remedy? Haha. Elgin Falcon.

    Thanks Ceebee

    After seeing Ceebee's Colson with the awesome house paint patina, I was motivated to get after some fenders I had hanging on the wall. Sprayed some stripper on the hefty coat of house paint green. Started scrubbing with some sand paper, scotch brite pads, and finished with 0000 steel wool...

    Build off hangover?

    I don't know about you guys and gals, but when BONINE was over, I felt a little lost. Like what now? And what the heck am I going to build next year? I really had no idea. Since then, time has passed and I found plenty to do, work-family-projects etc. I've even started aquiring parts for next...

    Sturmey Archer X-FD

    Building up a set of bomber/klunker wheels and like the idea and look of a front drum. Does anyone have any experience with the X-FD? Probably won't descend Mt. Tam, but will get some local NC trail use/abuse. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! Frank

    Roadmaster Luxury Liner

    This is a reproduction, not sure of the year. Its all original except for the seat post collar. (I have it, just doesnt work as well) What do these bikes generally sell for? I've looked in all the usual places, ebay, craigslist, forums etc without luck. Thanks!
