Mock up of the Military ride

Ephraim finished this one in about a day which is pretty impressive. As you can see we slapped some wheels on there just to see what it would look like. This one is very similar to the rad rod with some minor details changed. We are definitely not finished fabricating on this one but it's coming along. 

Twosome

This is the tandem after we got it all put together! And of course our cat Nelli is admiring.

This is the tandem with fresh paint, ready for assembly. 

Rat Rod mock up

This was what the Rad Rod frame looked like before we painted it. We also threw on some extra parts such as the seat, tires, and handlebars, just to see what it would look like.

Rat Rod

Ephraim deserves most of the credit for this one. We decided to build my little brother a bike for his birthday and this is what we came up with. It is made from a 26" mountain bike frame and a 20" kids bmx bike frame. Ephraim cut them up and brazed them together to create the long body and raked fork. All I did was paint it. Only new parts are the grips, seat, and tires. I had to also post a picture of what the bike looked like before the paint job!





Primer

This is the bike that Ephraim first build from old parts laying around in his parent's backyard. The only thing that he bought brand new was the grips, seat, and tires. This bike is what started the whole obsession.
