The best thing I've built
Wehttamman asks: My dad and I once built a go-kart from chipboard, pram wheels and an engine from a lawn mower. It didn't work... so tell us about your favourite things you've made, and whether they were a triumph or complete failure.

Also, my 3-speed
I bought this as a wreck - its a Triumph Gents' Cruiser, not enormously old but it was really cheap on eBay had despite rust, no lights, knackered yellow-wall tyres, crappy black cables and seat, I saw it had some potential
Hardly anything's original.. now has a modern bottom bracket and chain and amended gearing ratios so that top gear is the normal cruising gear and the others are steps down for hill climbing. Since this pic the seat and pedals have changed again - and I love it. My mountain bike hardly gets used at all nowadays.
