My first free garbage find in recent history. Raleigh USA C-30. Do I restore, or do I part?

https://www.bigalsauction.com/lot/80147-277340-35729/1950s-temco-skeeter-4-wheel-steering-scooter-toy Was it something like this? It's called a skeeter and they started making them in the 1940s.

Taking a little Sunday ride on my 2008 Trek alpha aluminum 1.2 700c today.

Off topic because it's not a bike, but still pretty cool. 14x2.125 Mongoose BMX scooter.

Cleaned up the old '76 Varsity Schwinn for a little Saturday ride.

I like the looks of these low riders, but I wonder how you get around the pedal arms hitting the pavement on a ride.

Curious how you make these bikes look like low riders. Are the wheels oversized for the frame? Obviously some of it is the from the fork. Looks like maybe the rear drops were modified.

Did a tornado blow through your shop?

Contact the sellers like, this bike is no more than 10 years old. Most of the time nothing will happen. I saw a tank for sale on eBay listed as unknown brand. I sent a message telling what it was from. Never responded, never updated the listing. 🤷🤦

Wow! That's not much clearance! Precision work!

I love the idea of having a parts shed where I could just whip up a build. I use to find bikes all the time in my mid teens, often discarded on the curb. Then I would rebuild them and sell them at the end of my driveway. These days it seems harder to find bikes discarded in the trash, so I'm...

Brand new saddles for my his and hers Murray cruisers. Micargi springers.

Here you go. You asked and shall receive. 20" early 90s DYNO VFR. My bike from my childhood.

Nice. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the Customliner a 26" and the mainliner the 24" version?

I'm positive that crank is Hawthorne. But, not sure on the rest, I think they are huffy as seen in these pictures. It's the only bike I've found that has visually identical wheels and crank. They are 1950s mainliners.and another.

I have a couple of work areas depending on the task. I'm still getting organized as I'm just getting back into bikes and currently only have a handful of them.

My most recent ride. 1960s Murray Cruiser. Was my dad's bike. Was scattered in pieces when I found it. I rebuilt it with parts I found. My newest road bike. Trek I bought in 2008. Aluminum frame, carbon fiber fork My previous rider, been in storage since 2008. 1976 Schwinn Varsity.

Anyone know what these are off of? The original rear hub was swapped years ago (can't remember what the old one was, maybe skip tooth?), and I think I've narrowed the parts down to either a Ward Hawthorne or a Huffy Mainliner. The front hub is stamped "weco" and "Made in Germany" and they are...

I just found deven_science's. Really cool!

I've had this hair brained idea off and on for a while to build a quad cycle by linking two bikes side by side and welding up a seat/framing to go between them. Has anyone attempted this? If not, explain an equally hair brained or crazy idea that you have had. Ready... Set.... Go!!
