    Trek Calypso Cruiser

    I just picked this up for $12 at an auction. The frame seems like a good candidate for a 26'' cruiser BMX.

    BMX Gurus Needed - 70's German BMX?

    Any ideas what this is? Google isn't bringing much up. I picked it up today at the local goodwill, I figure you shouldn't pass up a chrome looptail. It appears to be fairly complete? I found the seat on Ebay, same design, but different color sold for $70 recently. That's all I can find. Has...

    41 Schwinn?? Help needed

    Hey guys, I am thinking about making an offer on this bike. Seller says it's a 41 Schwinn with a morrow hub and miller kickstand. I am thinking about making an offer, but not sure what would be fair or what the bike is even worth as it sits. Any thoughts? These are the only pics

    Rear rack struts??

    Any tips on making a set of struts to connect the rack to the rear wheel axle? I bought a rack for my fire jet, but the struts were missing. Looking for diy or maybe just a generic set so I can out this rack on. Thanks!

    Scored a Murray Jet Fire

    Has some weather checked Super Crest tires, but they hold air and ride. Wheels need truing but are super shiny and clean, but For $40 I couldn't pass it up. Thinking of putting Schwinn exerciser mini apes on it, new tires, smaller seat and maybe a basket.

    Picked up an E-Bike for a song

    I stopped by the local Goodwill today and saw a nice Trek Commuter sitting in the outdoor rack for $49.99. As I got closer I noticed it had an Electric Hub and battery pack. The pack was dead, but it did have the charger. The rack that holds the battery is broken. I took it for a pedal and it...

    Thought I had a parts Bike but nooooo

    Bought this ugly bike for $20, with intention to use the 700c nexus 3spd wheelset on my worksman INB build . Can't believe they sold for $500 at Target and Neiman Marcus. Wife decided it's now hers. Oh well! Ha! It's sun faded but otherwise in good shape.

    70's Orange Krate Original?

    What's the market like for these today? I know they have been hot, but are they cooling off? Seller wants $300, says it's a 70's mode. I had a lemon peeler as a kid, but wouldn't mind this if it's worth the price.

    Boris X7 2x10

    I finally pulled the trigger on this. I waffled on waiting for their front suspension releases, but at $600 more, I should be able to upgrade later for a little less if I feel the need. I wanted the Burnt Metallic Orange, but they were sold out...

    I have been looking around leisurely for a new best-bang-for-the-buck 29er and settled on this Airborne Guardian 2.0 It's a major upgrade from my specialized hardrock 26. They beat out TREK, Specialized, etc... in terms of price and components. They are a small shop located in Ohio, so it's...
