For sale is a rare Dyno Ultra Glide cruiser bicycle. This awesome bike was made when Dyno was still part of GT Bikes, so it's around 15 years old. However, it's in pristine condition, with only a couple small scratches on the frame by the rear wheel and rust on the sprocket. Otherwise, it's in...

I recently acquired a sweet reproduction Penny Farthing with a 48-inch front wheel. This boneshaker is a thing of beauty and it attracts tons of attention wherever I go! Here I am riding it on the boardwalk in San Diego: Here is a pic of me in the St. Patty's Day Parade: And here is a shot...

I'm a big Electra fan, and this unique Super Deluxe is my fourth Electra cruiser. It is a company one-off that was made to see what the color scheme looks like in person. Since they didn't produce this color scheme, there are only two in existence; one men's and one women's. I really like the...

I threw this Skycaptain costume together using clothes from resale shops and mostly bike parts. I think it turned out pretty good. Tour de Fat was awesome and over 3,000 people attended! I'm a New Belgium fan for life!

I'm guessing that this is a restoration, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know if this Firestone cruiser looks original? I've never seen it in this color scheme. Is it worth $800?

A friend asked me to customize his Electra Balloon Townie 8i, and here's the result. I decided to make it look more like a cruiser, so I made several changes including: Electra handlebars, dice valve caps, saddle, bell and grips, Nirve headlight, Soma tail light, custom painted fenders, generic...

I wanted to keep my Columbia RX-5 as close to stock as possible, but it's too hard to pedal. I decided to switch the Bendix single-speed hub to a Bendix red-band 2-speed kickback hub, and now it's so much more fun to ride! I also changed the headlight to a more appropriate one and added a...

I want to sell a Bendix single-speed hub from a Columbia RX-5 that is in great shape with excellent chrome and no chipping along with all 36 spokes needed to mount it to a rim. The spokes are in perfect condition. What do you think would be a good price for the combo?

I want to soak a Dyno chainring in white vinegar to remove some rust. It's the solid, grooved chainring with black paint around the periphery. Will the vinegar affect the paint in a negative way? Do you have any suggestions for a better method that doesn't include harsh chemicals? Thanks in advance!

It's been nearly six months since the last issue of Kickstand Magazine. Just curious to know if they're still around. Has anyone spoken to or written to any Kickstand employees lately?

If the red band Bendix kickback hub with 18 tooth cog gives 1:1 ratio in high gear, how many teeth is the lower gear comparable to? Is there a big difference between high and low gear or is it a matter of a few teeth on the rear cog? Thanks.

Hi fellow biking addicts...err...connoisseurs. I'm converting a Puch scooter headlight into LED, and will probably use a flashlight LED array. How much light should I shoot for? I want it to be bright enough to illuminate the path ahead at night but not blind other bikers or pedestrians. Is it...
