It's been a decade-ish since I've built a cruiser and lurked on this board. A couple projects came my way so it's time to scratch that old itch. However, it seems like all the parts websites / manufacturers I can remember are gone now. Everything else I found on Google has a horrible selection...

I'm starting with a Worksman Industrial Newsboy that used to be a parts runner at a local Boeing plant. This is going to have an English café racer theme. The main guideline I am setting for myself will be: this is bicycle in all form and function. Of course it has to look cool, but I'm not...

I've sent an email to Felt regarding this over a week ago but haven't heard anything yet. Does anyone know the measurements of their straight apehanger handlebar? The main thing I need to know is if it has a 7/8" clamp area. Thanks.

This year's Greenwood Car show is on Saturday June 27 in north Seattle. My apartment is right in the middle of this, and I was thinking of putting a couple bicycles in the driveway. If anyone else is interested in this, let me know. It would be cool to have a a few cruisers lined up. There is...

I have yet to actually complete any bike I enter in build-off. Hopefully that will change here. :wink: My last roommate Cindy works in an autobody shop. Some guy who quit years ago started to make a lowrider out of this Huffy cantiliever frame but left it half finished. After all that time...

Here's my Spaceliner as I bought it a couple months ago: I had a pretty good idea of how I wanted this to progress, but ran into some problems over the weekend. The horn/light batteries inside the tank exploded (probably long before I was born) leaving a giant corroded mess. So when I went...

I'd like to get a cruiser seat that has the same look as the metalflake banana seats. Pleats not necessary. Does anyone know of a supplier that makes them new, or is my best bet just to get a cheapie spring seat and have it recovered?

I've really been wanting to build up a Spaceliner for a while. I have had almost every detail rattling around in my head for months. Yesterday on CL I found this for an unbelievable price. My good camera is out of power, so I had to use my phone. I'm glad every other Spaceliner I've tried...

I can't think of a good name, so I might as well ripoff the Supersuckers. God bless crappy camera phones. This is my first vintage/rat build and right now is about 85% done. The frame was billed on CL as a 1937 Hiawatha but came with the 1/2" pitch gearing (the bottom bracket bearings have...

I picked up an old girl's Stingray for a song off of Craig's List last night: When I'm done, this little kitten is going to deserve her own Suicide Girls spread :P The lowrider fork is definitely the first to go. Not just by choice - the lower bearing was broken up and made huge gouges in...

My practice bike went pretty well, so now its time to make something that counts. This is a Schwinn Jaguar 7 speed I bought a few months ago with a cheap handlebar swap done last week. A new (wanna-be retro) bicycle may make some people here cringe, but I'd rather save myself the...

I'm Thom, a frieght train conductor in Seattle. This was supposed to be the summer that I begin restoration on my old car, but gas prices have pretty much put the kibosh on that idea. So in order to keep me from just sitting around playing video games and getting fatter, I decided to customize a...
