I live for the CABE
Been on here for a few years now and I must confess......never lurked in the Custom thread being a semi-purist and all, but after looking at some great customs here, just like custom classic and antique cars, it kinda grows on ya. Sweet rides, great ideas and of course inspiration.

Nothing wrong with making a custom bike. There are a lot of spare parts out there.

Any customs out there that are of the stout variety ... (Your machine or someone else's ...) ?

Here is one i modded using an Orient tandem. My modded unit would have 'fat franks'


Let's see those stout rides .....

og and biles restorted to stock are great,but 4 me now after having done that for a fair amount of time,i like using my imagination and creativity in making a custom/modified,just another leg to enjoy in the bike hobby
 
Here's 2 late model schwinn heavy dutis I built.

Orange one has worksman wheels, drum brake, coaster brake bracket welded on.

Blue one has Sturmy dyno drum, snake scale paint, 12g CMC wheels.

Two extremely "stout," nuke-proof curb smashers.

Hey Old Dude.....

Nice bikes and nice work.......but the room that has a faux watertight door? Why and what's behind it??? The rivets remind me of a 1920's merchant ship. Nice job and looks cool. My old air compressor would look good in a room like that. However the bulkhead and door would have to be painted grey.....
I give your bikes 3 stars.......the door 4 !:)
