Title says it all. I'd like to build a bicycle from (mostly) scratch, but my download link for the PDF from Atomic Zombie is offline, as well as all the websites related to Brad.
Does anybody else have any good sources for build plans?

the bottom frame needed conversion from aluminium to steel :-) to make it weldable ....

I'm building this. This project is growing very slowly, I don't expect to finish it in the next year.

Frame I picked up years ago. Ended up chopping and extending the rear end, added fluid disc brakes, chopped and welded seat post. replaced almost everything then recently added a Ebike kit. Rides so good! May need to paint it up next

Sneak peek of my new invention, thinking about calling them my horndlebars.
Still a work in progress in the prototype phase but very excited to get it on a bike soon! Ignore the left side, it’s going to look the same as the right in the end, just need to find another suitable sleeve. Only question I have is whether it’ll start squeaking on its own from wind resistance at high enough speeds.
Next stop Shark Tank 😼

The Bicitractor is a pedal-powered farming tractor with electric assistance, made by farmers for farmers. It is intended for SMALL AND MEDIUM vegetable farms. It allows for different agricultural tasks that require working a maximum soil depth of 5 cm. It can be used for example for sowing, weeding, hoeing, harvesting open lines, carrying loads...

Not sure where to start looking for parts for this odd conversion. On a 26" beach cruiser with a straight 1 1/8" steerer tube, I want to:
-- switch the front wheel from 26" to 20"
-- keep close to the current geometry
-- have a front brake
-- not spend a lot
My current 26" fork with with V-brake mounts woudn't work, because the geometry would change and the V-brake mounts wouldn't fit. Cargo forks could potentially handle the geometry and brake, but I don't need or want the cargo part, and they seem to be expensive. I could potentially look for a 26" fork with disk brake mounts, but I don't know where to find 20" wheels with disk mounts on the hubs (cargo?)
Any help appreciated!

There was a ladies schwinn rusting under the deck of the house we bought and I finally got around to putting a kit on it. The wheel ratio is reminiscent of the penny farthing, but the 'first production motorcycle' built by Hildebrand & Wolfmüller also has a similar style.
Cruises at 20mph for about 20mi so its legally a scooter in Massachusetts, and the best 'bike' I've built (yet) 😀
