    Dyno Cruiser

    I'm not sure why I picked this up off my local CL, but it was cheap,just a couple miles away & I've always liked these frames for some reason. I kinda want to strip it,repaint it,throw a 40's trussed fork I picked up and a newly aquired Electra multi speed wheelset. I know nothing about these...

    Toolbox FULL of bike tools...

    Not really a find, but more of a gift. It's been slow here at the Ford dealer, so I've been bringing my bikes here to work to pass the time. A guy who works here mentioned that his stepdad who passed away used to be a bicycle mechanic off and on for several years.While cleaning out a shed out...

    Repop AirFlow Sky King tricycle

    Picked this up yesterday for my little 10 month old nephew. It'll be a while before he's able to ride it, but I figured it was too cool to pass up. It's in great shape,with just a few very minor scatches. I need to adjust the bearings & fix the non-op headlight. Got it for $65. Figured it was a...
