    Best way to build a custom cycle truck

    I built both of these from pretty wasted frames. Ordered long head tube sections from Nova cycle supply and some frame tubing. I also built the forks using tall threaded steerer from Nova as well. Both of the bikes are great riders and very solid. I made a jig on my welding table, along...

    Help with identification.

    i was think the same, but the shape of embossing around badge area doesn't look familiar. 2 3/16 center to center spacing. But appears to have small round tabs at top and bottom of badge.

    Shelby GT 500 Shelbinator. 37 Shelby built.

    This was a fun build that started with nothing more than a really roached and twisted wishbone frame. Designed by my inner 12 year old. Built for the RRBBMBBO. Say that three times real fast. 7 speed on the floor. Ready to race……

    My 1913'ish Flying Merkel Double Bar

    Wow. A time capsule for sure. Leave as is. Maybe a trip To car wash to blow off the loose grime.

    I’m in favor of rat bikes!

    This is really cool. Dig the contrast in color usage. These frames make cool rides. I need to find one someday.

    I’m in favor of rat bikes!

    I have been getting a lot of enjoyment out of this one lately. Picked up the frame from the classifieds here. Tossed a bunch of old BMX stuff on it and a decent coaster wheelset. Very comfy and enjoyable riding bike.

    This whole bike was a learning experience. One of cooler aspects of this one for me. A pleasant surprise with an education.

    Thank you Curtis. I am Lucky to have friends that have bike issues like myself, that provide inspiration with their style of builds.

    The Torrington would not clamp down hard enough on the bars. Almost ate gravel. 😀. Put on another appropriate stem and changed out the bars. Added some LED lighting and painted them to blend in a bit better. Messing with seat position. Quite happy with it all now. Cool old Klunk.

    Spent the last few weeks going through this one and making needed repairs. But took it out and broke it in today. Really happy with the ride. Emblem built Elgin.

    Thanks. It will evolve I suspect. But the crucial stuff was saved. Hoping I can get fenders looking decent. You can see, or not see the frame repair here.

    The Elgin is almost ready for the road. Chain tomorrow and time for a test ride. Re laced triple step wheels that @saladshooter hooked me up with. Thank you! The fork was really bad, but I got It unmangled and respectable. All the fractures were taken care of and paint touched up and...

    Found Found. Rim or complete front wheel needed

    I believe it is referred to as a triple Drop or step rim. Need one for an Elgin restoration. PM if available. thanks, Mike

    I think I was able to bend the fork back into shape. I’d imagine the Emblem fork is quite difficult to find.

    This never happens. Old Elgin

    You all have been a great help. Thank you. I will get some more photos when out innthe shop. I suspect the crank is Og but the chainring has been changed from a different bike and earlier model. The front wheel was a Schwinn. I believe I have a correct front for it but not on a Muselman hub.
