A friend of mine from work has this bike laying around at his house. He is interested in restoring it, but he wants to know if it would be worth the time and money to do so. From what I can see it has Peaked fenders, lugged frame and an internally geared hub (not sure what kind or if it works.)...

Hey Slick Rick, I live in Laveen, but wouldn't mind gathering up some family and friends to head out to Mesa for a good time. Where in Mesa is this event located and is there a group ride involved? I have been wanting to attend a group ride, but haven't found one I could make it out to. Thanks...

Here's the build thread of my Schwinn Delmar from Walmart. I still have some idea's to add to this bike, but it was a great cheap starting point for my build. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=27878

If you were talking about my tattoo, yes it is a Christian tattoo. It is praying hands with a rosary. For me it symbolizes my initiation into the Roman Catholic faith, and it serves as a reminder for me to pray. Thanks for the compliment :-)

Here's my most recent one! I got it to commemorate my recent baptism, confirmation, and first communion in the Roman Catholic Church

Thanks for everyones help and suggestions, but I tried the shoe polish and I didnt end up liking the finish. I went a different direction with it. Heres a link to my build thread: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=27878

This is my first ratrod bike build. I think it turned out pretty good based on the walmart bike I started with. Now its something I can proudly ride around my neighborhood. I have a couple more things in store for it, but this is where it sit's right now. Let me know what you guys think! I...

I'm going to try it, probably next weekend. I am currently working to two jobs, so I don't have a ton of time during the week. I'm just at work right now so I thought it might be worth it to get some tips from someone who has done it before. I'll post pics as I go thanks guys

Thanks for the link udallcustombikes! Hooch do you have any tips on how to do this? I noticed that your final pics of the NOG deathbuggy looked painted. Did the shoepolish end up not working? Thanks.

I thought about that also, but wasn't sure if the shoe polish would actually dry and then accept the clear coat. Also I was wondering if after the shoe polish dries if it would rub off easily. Then I wouldn't need a clear coat. My goal is to end up with a dark finish without using paint. (other...

I just used the aircraft remover to strip the frame on my Schwinn Delmar, and I was thinking it would be cool to rub kiwi shoe polish into the metal and then clear coat it. Has anyone ever tried this? Do you have any tips or tricks? If you have done it, do you have pics of what it looks like...

Ej599, that's awesome that you are completing the process! I too have been taking the rcia classes and I am prepared for my Baptism, Confirmation, and first Communion at the Easter vigil this coming Saturday. I am excited and nervous at the same time, so I see where your coming from! It's nice...

Hello everyone!! I am new to the cruiser/ratrod bike scene, but I have been into ratrods and bikes since I was a little kid. My dad and I built a GT BMX bike when I was younger so I have some experience to draw from. Just recently I purchased a Schwinn Del Mar from walmart for myself and a used...
