    What brand chainbreaker is good ?

    I got sick of the cheap wallyworld ones too and bought a Park CT-5 which is 1000% better.

    Ideas wanted for my 29er

    Since it sounds like you don't plan on doing much actual mountain biking with it, have you thought about getting a rigid fork? That would give it more of a cruiser look. strait blades http://surlybikes.com/parts/karate_monkey_fork/ curved...

    Show us your J.C. Higgins Bikes

    Colorflow I put together for my dad. The headbadge has since been reinstalled. Not sure what to do with this one, talked it down off a guys barn wall for $35. :D

    single sided springers...

    Seem's a little odd if people can't talk about bikes in the Bike Talk section. :D Besides, I'm sure it the thread was too out of place the moderators could move it for him... Anyway, I think those are actually the first cruisers I've seen with single sided forks, much less springers...

    Starting them out wrong, Walmart must be stopped

    Haha, this reminded me of a thread on the mtbr.com forums last year. This guy (Eric 2.0) was ranting and raving about how arrogant people were being because he bought his bike at D ick's Sporting Goods and there was no reason to go paying a premium from some snobby local bike shop. This goes on...

    When does the build off start?

    Oh boy! I have parts... and frames... and tools... and ingenuity! :D Looks like I'm all set to participate this year, just need to find the inspiration that I left laying around here somewhere. :idea:

    What am i??????

    It's obviously some kind of widget. Possibly used in an old gas oven or electric blender. Have you tried hooking it up to a gas line or power outlet yet?

    The Gift Horse

    Thanks guys! I do need to figure out something to do with all that open space on the tank, also want to get the pinstripes put back on the frame/fork like the original. The one thing I'm still not really sold on is the saddle. I like that one more than the one I tossed on it originally...

    The Gift Horse

    Got the fenders on and had the chance to take a few pictures this morning. Still have a couple little things I want to do to it, but for the most part I'd say it's done now.

    What have I become???

    Go for it! The geometry on that looks very similar to my Globe San Francisco (mine's a 3 speed IGH but they made singlespeed ones too). I wasn't really looking for a city/commuter bike but I got an awesome deal on it off craigslist and I'm really glad I bought it. The thing is so light and...

    To the guy who found my wallet.

    Maybe the cash was already gone when the dude who turned it in found it? If not then I agree, he deserves the midget beating of his life.

    Where Have Real American Factories Gone?

    This discussion reminded me of an article I read about Snapper a few months ago. There are still a few businesses that insist on manufacturing here, but they're almost always going to come with a premium price tag. Also, more on topic, here's a great page that lists all the current bike...

    $20 61 Schwinn Hornet

    I had quite a bit of trouble with my seat post but it looks like yours isn't quite as weathered. I'd start off by clamping a seat onto the top of it, get it really snug, and then try and twist the seat post to break it loose, if you can turn it, you should be able to get it out easy enough.

    Eastern Kansas Views

    Oh, I forgot to update this! I found the rest of the pictures I'd snapped on the ride that first pic was taken on. Here's the full panorama with some light photo shopping done to get the lighting right. *click for full size*

    Ride every single day!

    If you've got a passion for it you'll start shaving weight off without even thinking about it. I started riding a bike again a couple springs ago for the same reason, had gained about 40lbs sitting in my office chair all day, and by the time October rolled around that first year I had lost at...

    I would love to have those fenders! Any idea what you want for them?
