    JC Higgins skip tooth find!

    I was at the local second hand store (actually looking for old rc or model cars to modify, another hobby of mine...) and was just about to leave when I spotted a pair of vintage cruisers... from a distance they looked like they matched, very cool. After I got a bit closer I knew the girl's...

    Patina Cruiser-Clunker

    Long story short... I found another bike to add to the collection two weeks ago. Took it completely apart, soaked the bearings and pedal cranks in gas, re-greased and assembled. Rides like a charm and it looks quite a bit like the original fat tire type of bike (new Belgium brewery type of fat...

    Two vintage murrays and a vintage schwinn

    June Saturdays mean gargage sales and so far I have found three good bikes. Total spent... $27 bucks. First up is a 80's-ish Murray Monteray in great condition. Even had the manual and the city bike registration. Prepare to be ratified... flat grey color with brass knuckles on the head...

    Beer fixie... on the cheap!

    Back in February I acquired a nice, straight old ten speed bike (Cheap Fixie Project: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=13377 ) and, due to full time school and clinicals, not to mention a growing baby boy, I slowly began to transform it into something more... me :P . Stripped it down to bearing, nuts and...

    Cheap fixie project

    I have wanted a fixie/ single speed for several years now. Finally found a cheap donor bike. And I do mean cheap. Reclaimed. Free. Heck yeah! I actually haven't found much info on it but it is a "Coast King" ESC4000. Apparently came with a OLD school bike computer. This thing is...

    Brass soldering/welding/glueing/???

    So I am thinking about adding some brass knuckles as a head badge on my cruiser project.... I want them sticking straight out if that makes sense.... I don't think you can weld brass, however, so I am going over options in my head. I'd like your input. Weld on a bolt(s) Braze or solder it...

    Slow build = Slow rider DONE!

    After stumbling onto this site last month I was infected with the need to build a bike. Or at least re-invent one. And what better candidate than my wife's old cruiser! The history of the bike, for us, is short. We bought it at a garage sale two summers ago for $16. It was rattle can...

    Any info on this bike?

    Hello, I am a newbie here, but definitely charged up after stumbling onto the site here last week! Anyway, I am motivated to dig into a project this winter, and here are the starting blocks: It is already a rat rod of sorts.... we bought it a couple summers ago at a garage sale, and it was...
