Yeah that's right I want to be one of the cool cats with the grown up length BMX bikes. I discovered how fun the small bikes are when my boys got an unidentified 1970s looptail rolling and I started riding it. It has been deemed too old and cool to cut up though and I really need something a...

Our local hardware has a new in the box Huffy brand Chromoly 4 bolt black BMX quill stem. Looks to be from the mid to late 80s. They want $14.99, which seems like a good deal compared to new ones these days. Of course I don't have any pics, it's still on the shelf. Of course huffy is nothing...

Found a fairly old tandem at a nick nack place for $110. I think it's a good deal. As far as age it looks like my boys bike from about the early 50s. It's been painted over so I can't tell any badges or anything but it's all there and has some ape hanger looking bars and a coaster brake. Top...

So my buddy Tony has a huge pile of bike scrap that he bought as a bundle to get a roll cage for a truck that was in the mix and a few of his old bikes from his childhood are in there too. We have been picking his pile for some time and several bikes have emerged from the parts. At the very...

My son Jacob got this old schwinn for free. Coolness just seems to follow him home. He wants to kind of restore it. What era is this thing? Where can we get a seat without the rust?

Our county has just under 5,000 people total, the fair is kind of a big deal. We have our county fair next week and the coffee shop is across town. We pretty much live at the fair that week because we have kids with animals and are quite invilved in making things go at the fair. We found it's...

So I picked up a 70 or 80 something looptail that I have yet to get a positive ID on. It was free from a buddy's scrap pile. I snaged it for a possible parts bike for my boys then after airing up the tires discovered how fun it was to ride. I am 37, 198lbs and 6 feet tall so my wife thinks...

I was over at my buddy's place picking up a laser level and he has a pile of old bike stuff about 4 feet high with grass growing through it. My boys (ages 8 & 10) are each building 20" "rat" bikes with mish mash parts so we decided to pick his pile for doner parts. Under a bunch of other stuff...

I picked up this Marshall Wells Zenith for my oldest son for $40 out of a back yard vine patch at a place I was working yesterday. My younger boy got a 1940s Hawthorne last year and the older son has wanted something similar ever since. Not sure how old this one is yet but it sure is cool...

OK so my boy (age 7) picked up this fairly old herculese/hawthorn made in england and we can't seem to get the right size tires for it. The sidewalls say 26x1 3/8 but when we tried to put a fresh set of 26x1 3/8 tires on the rims they are just slightly to big on the inside diameter and the tube...

Since I can fab most anything within reason with steel in my garage I was thinking of making or moding a frame to make a single speed rat rod bike that would be suspended front and rear with bits of leaf spring I have laying around from previous truck builds. I would ideally like to start with...

Hey there from rural Montana. I live in Choteau County, which has a population of maybe about 5 or 6 thousand, including chickens. Years ago I was really into mountain biking. Over the years work, age and family resposibilities have taken their toll on that hobby. Last week I had an epiphany...
