Well I scored 4 "off brand" bikes for the taking this weekend! I was intrigued by this statement from a friend of the guy that had them. I thought that maybe I was going to score some old cruisers, but I'll take some late 20th century/early 21st century boring bikes for pieces parts for my...

I scored this Ranger for $5 about a month ago. I finally was able to get the left pedal off and the head tube nut off. The serial number is K276?96 and the ? is either a 1 or a 7. The number was located on the left dropout. What year is this...

Howdy, What is the diameter/size of the metal rods on a cantilever bike frame? I have an idea for a kustom bike frame that would use this style as a starting point. I'm not going to be hacking up an original frame, but scratch building everything except the BB and maybe the actual...

Greetings, I stumbled upon this website and love the flair and the cool bikes! I'm actually in the process of building a recumbent tadpole bike, but I've acquired a bunch of frames and the look of a chopper/cruiser type bike intrigues me. I'd also like to build a cool cruiser for my Boss, she...
