    What exactly do I have here?

    If it is the brake type, would it be the pedal brake or? Just trying to sort out if this bike is missing brakes as well.

    Indeed- my rental policy covers our belongings from theft. I will ha e to call and find out how they calculate value. But if it does not match the actual value, that would be the a reason for purchasing a rider.

    Idea on value - green stingray stick gear

    Thanks for all the replies. It is not as appealing to me if it is not actually a stingray.

    Idea on value - green stingray stick gear

    I realize this photo is terrible, but it is the only one posted. I sent a message to confirm if it was still available for purchase- but would appreciate thoughts on what the max price is you might buy this stingray for- It is near the right in the photo- between other bikes and I can see it...

    Good call on the insurance. I will confirm my existing policy covers and if not, look into available policies.

    "All in" newbie -Minneapolis

    Well hello neighbor! :wink1: I have definitely caught the bike bug. I am eager to get the first one going. Since I picked up the AMF spirit bike that has all original parts and I am forcing myself to hold off on any of it- until the first bike is well in its way!

    What exactly do I have here?

    Everyone here is amazing! Thanks for the photos and thoughts. I agree, The two lever option is confusing. We are most certainly missing any sort of shifting mechanism and of cable. As well as any external brake system, assuming there should be one (but again, I am a newbie- basing my...

    my little rat (stolen in summer 2015 in Berlin GER)

    What is the best method (other then constantly in our sight) to ward off would be thieves? I was curious if anyone used the chip tagging system. Similar systems are used for pets, a micro chip is placed under the skin and a chip wand reads the number. Then that is correlated to the owner/...

    Banana Spirit

    Picked this up today. The basket holds no interest for me. I have to see how it cleans up to decide if I want to keep the Evil K/ Americana theme.

    What exactly do I have here?

    I think that is present. I will get some close ups of that area

    What exactly do I have here?

    I think the plan is to keep the majority of existing parts- including the handlebars. So open to what would look best, as well as be in line with that style.

    What exactly do I have here?

    I will have to check the garage where we stored this, but I don't recall seeing any shift mechanism of parts. When I Google search, It returns a 3 speed click stick. Is that what I need to look for?

    What exactly do I have here?

    But it does not necessarily need to be rebuilt, or does it? Very helpful- I have a base understanding now. I watched the video - certainly an involved process. I will address some of the other things before I tackle it.

    What exactly do I have here?

    After some additional cleaning last night, I have located a number on one part 333 (the 3's have a long hook on the bottom) Text bellow it reads: THREE SPEED HUB USA PAT 3021728 Is this the Shimano crank /hub? I feel like a doorknob- but I only see one gear mounted on the opposite side of the...

    Lee- Thank you so much! I may send a message about some other prospective projects. I am finding this project to be really interesting and fun. It is possible I might want to do one for myself too!

    What exactly do I have here?

    Thanks for the replies so far. There is still an immense amount of cleanup to do - on all the parts. What helps you decide what to replace, what to revise/refresh and what to restore? Obviously outside of a part that is broken or unsafe- (which would be replaced). My initial thoughts were...

    What exactly do I have here?

    Thanks! I am guessing a lot of what is on this is not original. There was also a light- need to grab a photo of that too. Wires come out of the frame- but I don't see where the generator portion would have been located.

    I tried copying the image url the first time from the app on my phone. Just updated the image link with the whole link listed (BB option size medium) from the website via a browser window.
