Bikes you've built?
 
Bored this evening and looking through old photos. Here's a couple of a supermoto I built a couple of years ago. Started with a cheap pair of e-bay wheels that I needed a home for, so I decided to see what I could do entirely with second hand bits. Lets see pictures of what you're chuffed with, anything at all.

Thats the sort of thing, cool! Something really satisfying about it, especially if its cheap. After riding them building thems best.
Must be more out there.

Rebuilt a couple of Yamaha RD350LCs and one Honda VF500 F2.

Both bikes were a lot of fun to work with. The Honda was my brothers, he got T-boned when a car pulled out of a side road. Luckily for him he flew over the bonnet and received just a few light injuries, the honda had snapped it's fork stanchions, needed the frame re-jigging, plastics were destroyed and there was other cosmetic damage. I rebuilt it for him as a surprise when he went on a two week holiday. His face was a picture when he came home to find his bike looking fixed up and nearly new.

The Yams were mine, I crashed them a lot and rebuilding was the norm.
