Built this one for my girlfriend. I didn't have much time to make a thread while I built it because of work and getting ready for school so I apologize. She was riding this cheap aluminum 24" Wal-Mart bike and needed to have a real bike if she wanted to go on bike rides with me:cool2: Anyway, I...

This build will take about a year most likely. I'm away at school right now so all I'm doing is gathering up the parts. Frame is a 1939 Rollfast Ambassador (Longtank), at least that's what I think from some quick research. I plan to strip the frame down, weld some supports, and get it powder...

Bought this one off of Craigslist for $35! They guy was awesome, we talked for at least 30 minutes. So on and so forth, with a lot of leverage and PB Blaster, I tore down the bike. The bike has a nice rattiness to it, but still has most of the original paint! I plan on using a fine steel wool...

Anyone know about fixing a bent fork? This one I have is pretty bent. I really want to bend it back and keep it since its original to the bike. Should I use a propane torch and heat it up and bend it with an old pipe or something? Would this effect the structural integrity of the fork? I really...

It looks like a 1950 Schwinn Panther....I'm not too sure. It looks to be mostly there too! And I'm thinking that's a cheap "house-paint" type job? Paying $50 in Craigslist! Anyone know what it's worth as is? I'll probably end up selling it on here anyways, either whole or parted.
