Got most of the mocking up done, need to get gearing in and chains set up, then finish the welding, strip it and paint it.

Was lookin for some rims at a local non profit we have called BICAS, they get bikes donated and either do quick fixes and sell them or strip them down and sell them as parts. Found a wide steel 24", a narrow rear 24" with a flip-flop, prob relace it into anothe rim, and a new alloy 24" front...

So I don't really need 12 speeds and the front is a stamped double gear, yes I have others but I was wondering if I just leave the front derailer off with the right single chain ring wouldnt I have more than enough gears, I usually use only 2 or 3 gears on most multi gear bikes anyway. Guess it...

I was cruzin my dollar store and came across this rear safety lamp, has 7 diff flash modes. can clip to a back pack or comes with a mounting clamp. Wadda ya tink ?

I have a Shimano VIA 6 speed cassette that I would like to remove from the hub, is this threaded onto the hub or is it more integral to the hub. Most of the Freewheel cassettes I've been able to break the center portion loose and spin it off, this one does not look the same. I do find 2 notches...

Well this was a CL posting and it was supposed to have 24's on it but it wound up being a Huffy 12 speed with some dry rotted white walls on 26's. But at 20 bucks I figured the head and tail light with a generator would work on another project and this will probably become a single speed with...

Well how about this, I made an elongated U-bracket for a set of V-brakes as I'm running a 24" rim on a 26 straight BMX style fork.

Don't know if ya'll have heard, the bi-annual bicycle flea market is comin up, November 14 starts at 8am, but ya wanna get there a lil earlier, the hawks are out lookin for the good stuff and some resellers tend to try and get the better of the goodies. I've gotten some good parts, got my...

Got bored again and started designing, 26" basic dimension frame, lowered seat tube, my skull designed dropouts.

So we're wandering the local thrift store and we spy these, nice and narrow, got some nice flex to em, and for $2.00, yea not a whole lotta call for ski's in southern arizona, especially older out dated ones. After seeing the great leaf spring suspensions my mind started to wander, by the way...

I've heard many of you talk about the Schwinn rim sizes but I'm still naive. I have stripped and repainted a 75 Breeze for the wife, I went to put some tires on it but no way they were stretchin that far. I tried 26 x 1.75 and 26 x 1 1/2 neither would go, can I only run the skinny 26 x 1 3/8 ? I...

Been watchin and tinkerin a lil, figured no time like the present so I'm in on this build off... Hawthorn frame I picked up in April at the Bike Flea Market. Need to decide on which pedals, grips and light to use. Got the tires from a shop closin down here, only one brick so I picked up the...

I nearly wet myself on this one, it's got to be the desert heat that fries their brains.... http://tucson.craigslist.org/bik/1165736120.html

Well we got a race being held by Spooky Tooth at the go kart track for powered bicycles on Sat 4/18 and the spring 4th ave. bike swap meet on Sun 4/19. Who's goin and or comin might be cool to meet up with some of the Phx folk if they're comin down.

Just found a new product at harbor freight, was designing one, but at this price I dont think I can pass it up, lol. Wish they had 1.5 and 1.75 rollers, may have to look around and see if I can scare some up.

I had a link to a site that you could put in your rim, hub and spoke count and layout your spoke pattern. I had to redo the laptop and lost the link, it let you place your spokes individually and worked really well. Anyone know what I'm talkin about ?

The start of my custom frame, not sure how comfy it will be riding behind the upper lobe, but thats to be seen, may try and sneak a shock in the rear for the the rear trailing link. Spade stand offs for the bars, and maybe a spade shaped set of bars.
