    The Sum of Its' Parts

    I have a bike that I have been thinking about selling. It is a bike that would bring maybe $50 to 75 even though it looks and rides like new. However, if you look at parts like an alloy coaster brake rear wheel, A decent bike is worth more as parts. 26" Wheel Master Also, when you need a...

    Asking for a friend . . .

    A friend is looking into a Hironelle St Etienne. It is supposed to be anywhere from 1903 to the 20s. Would it have been Skip tooth? This is the bike. I didn't know bikes that old had rim brakes. Anyone know about hironelle st etienne? I already tried the rrb archives.

    Moon Dust (I mean Crust)

    MOON DUST CRUST This Bike appeared on FB for $40 and I was going to pass it up. Friends here on RRB encouraged me to get it saying the saddle alone was worth the asking price. This is the bike at the sellers home. Maybe I should start with the saddle. Original shape is good but stiff...

    Bicycle License Plates, Novelty Tags?

    What to you think a standard size tag for a bicycle plate would be. Not a government issued but say a novelty plate. Would it be like the plastic bike plates in the rack in Wal-Mart? I know there isn't really a standard, but what do you like? I'm thinking about fabricating a curved, side...

    Down to soaking hardware

    I tested positive for Covid so I'm stuck inside. So bored I've been soaking rusty bike fasteners in vinegar and then rinsing them, oiling them down and returning them to storage.

    ORBO The Canal Crawler

    There are hundreds of miles of canals in the town where I live. They always have a 100 foot County right of way on one bank. The right of way may be sod, sand or gravel. Riding the canals with a cruiser like the one pictured really hurts my knees. I found this Trek with bad derailleur and...

    ORBO Off Road Build Off Question

    I have this Trek frame. I found this bike in the trash and stripped it except for the bottom bracket a few months ago. I would like to enter it. My plan is to make it a single speed free wheeler, gear it super low and dub it "The Canal Crawler.". Would it be allowed already in this state of...
