Just a few of many bikes and custom projects.
From classic restoration to unique custom builds.
I lost count long ago of how many bikes I have restored, built and modified over the years. Unfortunately there are many that I do not have photos of. As can be seen from some of the custom project bike pictures here I often enjoy building bikes using re-purposed materials that were not 'made' for bike building. With a little bit of thought (and often a fair bit of modification) I have used everything from structural steel 'ties' normally used for building construction to selected materials recycled from old furniture.
Of course many of the parts I use are bicycle or motorcycle components that are modified to suit the specific requirements of particular custom projects.

Many bikes are built using 'modified' commercially available parts.
With only a few small hand tools, decent measuring gauge and a good dollop of patience many 'production parts' can be modified to suit 'non-standard' configurations on customised bikes. Some frame modifications and custom parts can be made with simple hand tools. You do not necessarily need any 'special' tools but a welder and a reasonable understanding of basic metallurgy greatly expands the possibilities.
and there's more. . .

Snow Fun in Ayrshire on VooDoo Fat Bike
A lovely spring day, perfect for a bit of fun out & about.
A few more classics, some restored, some heavily modified.
Network Radio on VooDoo FatBike
I have been using an Inrico TM-7 Network Radio device mounted on the handlebars of my VooDoo FatBike during the recent good weather here in S.W.Scotland. This is primarily for communications use but as it is an Android device I have been using various Android APPs for GPS location, tracking and mapping off road rides across open wild landscape where there are no paths, tracks or trails.
