Hey all, this is my first vintage build which is for my 4yr old daughter. I have no idea what it is but the guy I got it from said it might be a Monarch Rocket but i kind of doubt it. I found a similar bike which was a Murray, so I'm thinking more in the lines of that. My daughter loves pink...

Hey all, I'm in the process of building a bike for my daughter and I'm starting with this bike I got on craigslist. The guy told me it's a Monark 16" Rocket girls bike from the 40's and 50's but I'm having a hard time confirming. Can anyone help identify this? Thanks.

Here's the Big Daddio and the Meat Wagon finally done... for now! It's an 06 Electra Rat Rod frame with bent springer front end, 24x3 tires and other misc parts. It has a Nexus 3 speed shifter mounted to the frame for suicide style. The Meat Wagon started with an old bike trailer frame...

Hey guys- Just wanted to show my latest. The Big Daddio bike got a face lift. Used a bent springer fork on it, which jacked up the way it rode until I figured out how to lock the spring action. This allowed me to use the standard 7" crank rather than going with the 6". I put a Shimano Nexus...

Hey All, Anyone know where the new Kickstand Magazine is? There don't seem to be any updates on their website for a while and I've only recieved 2 issues. My biggest concern is that they were a fly-by-night mag that had an excellent concept but lack of funding to continue. I hope not as I...
