    Middle Aged

    Started out with a 69 Columbia that had a corroded head tube and a Schwinn cruiser 5 speed Cut the head tube off the Columbia and further back on the Schwinn so I could figure out how I wanted to stretch the front. Then I cut both back halves of the frames and stretched the rear some. I had to...

    Possible first customer build?

    I was at work showing my brother a couple pictures of my builds for the build off. One of the guys at work peeked over our shoulder to see what we were looking at and liked them.

    OA bath and after tips help

    I picked up this 94-95 chrome Dyno that is covered in rust. The spots I messed with either came off kinda easy with my thumb nail or 0000 stell wool. So I'm thinking that the rust should come off pretty easy in a OA bath. My question is what temperature should the water be tap or hot water. Then...
