    My first bike restoration

    Yeah, the color scheme doesn't seem to be anyone's cup of tea but my own. Oh well, maybe they'll come around after some pinstriping. :P

    My first bike restoration

    Thanks for the comments! I wanted to put the rack back on but it somehow ended up in the dumpster. :( If I ever get around to it, I plan on making a new one.

    How to remove chain links?

    I know its a newbie question but, how do I remove links in a bike chain? I know I need a chain tool to be 'proper' but I wondering if anyone knew another method without buying the tool. I don't really want to spend 10-15 on something I'll use once. Thanks!

    New guy here - what bike do I have?

    That's it! That's definitely the bike I have. The chain guard said 'Thunderbird' on it but I couldn't find who made it. Thanks! PS. I stripped/refinished the bike last week but it needs just a few finishing touches before I post the pics.

    I'd love to do that but I'm not down with having 'rust dust' all over me after I ride it.

    Thanks, guys, for the quick responses and comments! Also, any recommendations for cleaning up the plastic on the light surround at the front of the 'tank'?

    Hey guys, stumbled across this forum while looking for more info on my bike project and its the perfect place to ask my question(s): First, I was given this bike by my grandfather awhile ago and have the plans on making it a rat bike. Not that it really matters to me but I would like to know...
