Hey all. Joined back in 2007 and participated in one of the early build offs. Built “Escaped Convict” a prison themed bike in honor of the demolition of our historic Maine state prison. Fun build and had a great time conversing with everyone. Life happened between then and now. Still got...

Yes it's me, older wiser, and just as crazy. I still have the "Escaped Convict" and have continued to acquire and sell bikes here and there. Just saying hi, seeing what's up, and getting motivated for perhaps doing another build in the future. Aaron

Picked up a mid 20's Hawthorne Flyer made by Elgin with steel lined wood rims with 28" glue-on tires that are combination tube/tires. Does anyone know of a repro source for these? Aaron

Yes despite rumors of my demise I still exist and have lurked over the past several months. I've been busy and frankly just haven't done anything with bikes. The Escaped Convict is alive and well but is suffering from two flat tires due to spontaneous tube failure. I've kept my eye out for...

Our Jeep got totaled. I wanted a 35mpg car to replace it. Wife wanted a truck. My wife is the epitomy of the Red Neck Woman song. So any of you who are married know what we got. Here she is in all her glory... 92 Chevy 1500 4x4 Ext Cab 350, AT. Has some rust and few eccenticities but I...

So I have been advertising a lot of my bikes for sale. My wife got rear ended and our trusty 94 Jeep Cherokee was totaled. It was one of those deals where the car just wasn't worth much to anyone but us. We bought it back from the insurance company and are driving it still but we need a new...

This is a repost from ScootDawg originally by TomTom no offense intended to those from Detroit.. just thought the picture was cool. This happened on a flight getting ready to depart for Detroit . Jack was sitting on the plane when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was an emotional...

Is there a way to search Craigslist nationally or regionally without searching each state and subsequently major metropolitan area individually? Thanks, Aaron

We all know in many areas of the US there are literaly piles of cool old bikes in barns, fields, dumps, and more. There's the dump find which is great, the Craigslist deal which is awesome when it works out, and my personal favorite..... The "there's this old bike in (pick your location)" told...

I sold and shipped my Ryan Vanguard recumbent to Boise, Idaho from my local dealer here in Maine. He recieved the bike Wednesday. The gentleman that bought makes court videos for a living... he made a cool video of the reassembly process of the bike. It's 4 hours condensed into a couple...

Ok Hooch and I were chatting last night in the Chat room. He got talking about a crazy Wagon Wheel bike. So I got thinking I have this huge steel rim from an old wooden wagon wheel. Well one thing led to another and I thought on it all day. This is my concept. Ladies frame on the front...

Will a skip tooth rear sprocket fit on a newer hub like say a Wally World donor bike? I have a skip tooth front sprocket and chain but no rear sprocket or wheel for that matter on my ladies Hawthorne that I will be making into a Xena Warrior Princess Bike. The Escaped Convict keeps bugging me...
