Got some time tonight and did a mock up in my normal style. These never score many votes and I seem to always build them. It would mean I’d finally use Still unsure but I wanted to look at it anyway! Also decided I should atleast check out the monark parts on the monark. Sadly the front fender...

Trying to get an idea of what I want before Sunday. 5 speeds and a disc brake! Think I’m going to shoot for 3 inches of ground clearance. See what happens

Got a bit of spare time tonight so did mock up the more traditional style build. Felt wrong without a monark sprocket front rack option. Rear baskets of course all the baskets! Like it better than expected. Of course needs more front tire and plenty of cleaning. Pros: simple, have all the parts...

I love beehive springers. It will always get my vote!

This monark is why I drove 80 miles to get a woman’s monark for a springer donor. I love this thing

I’ve checked out every currently posted build thread today. Lots of cool ideas and should be a fun summer!

Spent most of my free time this evening catching up on yard work but snuck down to the basement to clean up and dig around some. Frame is pretty crusty but doesn’t look as bad as a prior build that had to get a rust hole filled with weld. I do wish more of that green paint was left! Got out some...

I’m hoping to use that as my main or base. It’s an old Huffman that someone hacked the top tube out of long ago. It’s the only men’s frame in the pile aside from two cranbrooks. There’s also the possibility my c2 is based off a tandem instead. My buddy who welds/who’s fab shop I use is...

Unlimited is looking a bit lonely and I got my basement clean out done. Somewhere in this pile in the truck is my c2. Mostly stuff on the passenger side but the Chinese mountain bikes have straight tubes to cut. Sunday is the plan to get an actual start on cutting and welding.

This monark frame is the only part of this build I’m decided on. That’s why it’s named undecided. I originally had a plan then I parted out some bikes and came up with some parts that would take it a different direction. I’ll likely mock it up both ways and decide!

Friend just gave me another pile of junk bikes. More options for cutting up!

getting closer and still unsure if i want shiny strandie or if i finally go fenders and all. everytime i go to the basement and look i change my mind

I’m going to use atleast one of these fenders between c1 & c2 or quit storing them 😂

Man this top build is almost enough to get me to part out the woman’s Higgins I bought. The way it uses those skirts is awesome.

Early look at my class 2 build. It’s in this pile somewhere 😂
