    Stinray and some hinged hoopties

    This was delivered to me last week. A sketchy craigslist buy. The wheels need a going through. It's looks cool though. I'm gonna take off some sweet jumps. Last fall I scooped a folder bike for really cheap and ended up really liking it. I use it for almost all of my neighborhood errands...

    Monark + 24" Fatti-Os + red rims

    I have an orphaned Monark and I'm just itching to fit a set of 24" x 3 white wall Fatti-Os on it. I also like the look of Felt red rims, but I don't like the price of buying complete wheels ($99) that I would end up relacing to use vintage hubs anyway. Does anybody think or know if the...

    1965 Schwinn Super Sport in coppertone

    1965 Schwinn Super Sport in coppertone. I disassembled, cleaned and regreased it. The whitewalls gives it a little bit of ratrod spirit. Sprint! Suicide levers! The fork is pitted, but serviceable. Huret chainwheel and shimano uniglide freewheel. Great stem Retro Schwinn road...

    Fifties French & Fabulous

    A couple of years ago at veloswap in sf there was a guy who had about twenty five junky french bikes arranged in a semicircle under a few tables with old french parts and accessories up top on the tables. Like a mega barnfind in the midwest, but only french. Very curious. Me and my girlfriend...

    Trying to thin out my collection

    I have a Lemond Poprad that I never ride I wanted to cut it loose to free up some space, but after dusting it off & cruising it around for a few rides, I can't. It's such a nice bike. 10 speed shimano 105, disc brakes & only 21 lbs. My only problem with it is I can't lock it up outside anywhere...

    pondering my first paint job

    When you paint bikes do you always strip the paint off of them? Say, if I wanted to spray an old varsity or racer flat black would I be better off stripping or just roughing up the finish with sandpaper? One more question, does 'satin finish' mean something like semi-gloss?

    budget paint jobs

    this is a long, long thread on painting cars with rollers. Not bike related at all, but kind of cool in a low budget way. http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/sho ... Cbr%20/%3E

    the best way to push in tubing

    I need to hammer in a little clearance on my rear stays. I'm afraid of bending the entire tube. Any ideas on how to dent in the tubes without screwing up frame alignment? Should I cut in a small lengthwise slit on the inside of the stays where I want to indent it? I was also thinking...

    Me

    I'm a punky middle-aged guy, that likes junky old bikes, as well as new ones. I have many. It's a problem I'd like not to talk about. I live in San Francisco near Golden Gate Park. I live on two wheels. I have a motorcycle problem too. I have a girlfriend and she's just a problem. No...
