Well this is the beginning of my new build....... I'm starting off with a 1941 Western Flyer frame I got at the Englishtown swap meet for $20. The fork was bent pretty bad and I decided not to use it at this time. The wheels came with my Columbia when I got it and they were just finished up...

Does anbody make them?

Hey guys, I really need some help! I'm not sure how to take apart my kickstand and I don't want to mess it up by doing it wrong. There are no visable pins to take out but there are 4 little tabs just beneath the "cup". You can see one of the tabs in this picture of it. I need to take the...

Picked up this fair lady for my daughter today at the Englishtown Swap meet in New Jersey. Paid $5 for it!

Here are two wild ones!

Now that the contest is almost over I'm going to start my buildup. I am starting with this Columbia girls bike which has a serial number of 296738. The number dates it at 1970 or 71 according to a chart I saw online but I thought it was older. I bought the bike at a swap meet for $20 a year or...

It rides a little bumpy LOL!!!

Well here is a before picture of my bike. It's a Columbia of unknown year and I bought it at a swap meet this spring for $30. The main reason I bought it is because I liked the springer. This is pretty much how I got the bike except for the handlebars and seat. The primer was already layed on...

I'm posting this for my friend Magic Rat. His new down tube is absolutely genius and I love it! It's one of those things where I said to myself ".... I wish I thought of that"!

My son and his friend built this one over the weekend with a frame I gave him. This frame was the donor bike for my wifes debutante. He's proud. Pretty good for a 13 year old!

Well I guess I should post pics of this one too!! I built this one for my Daughter in 2003 for a Christmas present. Started with a girls Schwinn Caliente. Cut 7 or 8 inches out of the parallel tubes and welded it back together with reinforcing inside the tubes. Removed the seat stays from the...

I'm looking for a moon eyes seat. Who makes them? Does anyone know where I can find one?

I built this bike for my wife for a Mothers day present in 2006. I bought it at an automitive swap meet along with the jchiggins in the background. I think I paid $20 for the schwinn and $10 for the higgins. I stripped it down the day after I got it home and sent the frame out for powdercoating...
