    on the low low!!

    Hey peeps... need some opinions on my trike build. i've had a trail mate regal sitting around for a while because we weren't happy with the frame design (square tubing and no character at all)... but i recently found out that i could remove the rear end, so now im looking into hookin it up...

    headset wiggle

    hello old friends. long time no see. i just reassembled our 78 stingray and i noticed the front end is super wobbly. i can feel the headset moving back and forth when push/pull on the handle bars. i need to know which part of the headset i need to tighten to fix this. when i put on the crown...

    headset gap

    got my new springer in the mail from choppers us yesterday. install was a nuisance as always, since i dont have a repair stand. it seems to fit pretty well... except... i've got a pretty noticeable gap between the upper bearing cup and race. i would say it's about an 1/8th of an inch. the...

    White Walls

    tell me what brands you guys like... the pro's, the con's. i wanna hear everyone's opinion. I've seen that bikeworlsusa has the best price but they look pretty generic. so... im trying to decide on a compromise between brand name and price. i think i've settled on getting some Bontrager...

    whats 8ft long, has no legs, and goes 80mph?

    ... a tandem in the back of a PT Cruiser. :mrgreen: this thing barely fit. i had to take off both wheels, the rear fender, and the front handlebars. :| drove 3.5hrs to and from to get this thing... but for $100 it was well worth it. it's kinda rough but it's gonna super fly when we get...

    2 new bikes

    getting free bikes is really not helping with this new addiction. Penny's mom moved into a new house and look what she found in the attic. woot!! 78 huffy El Dorado in great condition. It was mighty dusty. I cleaned it up a bit. The tires still hold air. The brake is shot though...

    Spaceliner

    Found this at the swap meet this morning... but the guy was asking $125 so i had to pass. I know, I know... you're thinking "how could you pass that up!!" It looks like it had been painted then stripped.

    finally!!

    After searching craigslist for a couple of months i finally found my bike. every thing listed before was more than i wanted to pay or got scooped up before i could get it. so then there was a listing for a bunch of bikes for sale with no specifics or pics. i called the guy and made sure he had...

    head badge help

    How do i get this Schwinn head badge off? i figured the screws were standard threaded flatheads but i tried unscrewing them and they wont budge. I started thinking they might be pull out tabs, but that's doubtful. i figure better safe than sorry, so I ask the advice of the rat rod gods. :)...

    Fisher Price, my first bike build.

    Ok... so here we go. My wife Penny got this one on craigslist for $60 and a haircut. If my calculations are correct it's a 78 stingray. I still havent been able to confirm if it was Chicago made. It's gonna end up as more of a lowrider, 'cause Penny likes to be flashy. :) It's in pretty...
