    Bikes on bridges

    Thanks I thought it was rad that it worked too! I had some dope purple anodized jockey wheels from an old bike that I threw on it just for retro-points. So here’s some up close pictures of the tires as well as wheel dimensions: Here’s a shot of the derailleur clearing the rear cog: And...

    Bikes on bridges

    They are seriously awesome. I’d been riding on Panaracer Pasela 1.75s and they weren’t bad but I wanted something more versatile and plush. I have this bike set up super ghetto. It’s 1x10 with a 11-42 cassette and a 38 tooth chainring in the front. The derailleur is stock (yes. Stock!) with a...

    Bikes on bridges

    1995 actually. I don’t have any on my phone but I’ll take some tonight when I get home. They are very high volume for a 2.1 and they roll awesome. They seem to be as big as a Schwalbe fat frank if my memory serves me right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New tires on the bike. 26x2.1 Panaracer Gravel Kings. Such awesome tires. Supple and grip for days.

    VINTAGE MOUNTAIN BIKES

    I can finally contribute to this awesomeness. I present to you a 1989 Fisher Advance! This was my dad's daily driver back in the day when he bought it brand new in 1989. He gave it to me to use as a commuter bike because he hadn't ridden it in probably ten years. When he gave it to me it was...

    You have got to be kidding.. Seriously??

    Holy cow plastic?! Are they plastic 3 piece cranks or one piece? If they are 3 piece they were probably going for the "look we have 3 piece cranks at a really low price!" Either way I feel like that's a lawsuit waiting to happen if somebody snaps one and bites the handlebars while taking it off...

    Who would you vote for if...

    If I could pick only one it would have been the Columbia Convertible Commuter by The Renaissance Man. The lines on that bike are gorgeous and I want it so bad haha

    Huffy Nel Lusso Build

    I know right? I hate that so many perfectly good bikes get thrown away just because they request a little TLC from their owners. We live in a very "disposable" society and anything that doesn't fit our needs or no longer fits our needs just gets tossed aside and abandoned. I can assure you...

    Huffy Nel Lusso Build

    You guys are absolutely right! haha And we already knew that, but she really wanted to ride it :) but she isn't as mechanically inclined as myself so I would end up building it for her (which I have no problem with!) If i get her a bike though I would want it to be either vintage or of a...

    Huffy Nel Lusso Build

    OK folks another update! I have officially been using the bike for commuting for two days now and I am really enjoying it! We are expecting rain tomorrow so I figured I would take the opportunity to get some better pedals by tomorrow so my feet don't slide off the cheap plastic huffy ones. I...

    Yeah I'm not normally a chain guard kind of person (the bmx-er in me I suppose) but I think this one is actually very important to the look of the bike

    An update on the direction I'm going with the bike: Today after work I went for a ride to my workplace to see if commuting would be feasible for me and I'm happy to say it's a beautiful ride! Rochester is a very bike friendly town! This makes me very excited and I plan to start riding to work...
