    Just picked this up. It's been repainted very close to original. Torrington pedals. Anyone know what it's worth as is?

    Radical outrageous bicycle

    Gotta love the name. This has been hanging in my attic for over 10 years. It's a 1990 Murray built Rallye. Can't find anything online. It has a unique frame. Does it have any value?

    1987 Schwinn Cruiser value

    I have a 1987 Giant built Schwinn Cruiser single speed. Very nice shape. Heavy duty wheels with Shimano coaster brake hub, tires have a little light cracking. Rebuilt bottom bracket, rides great. What is something like this worth? I can't find anything to compare it to.

    Repairing bent seat tubes on ladies bikes - cant find thread

    I searched everywhere. I know there were a couple of threads a while back where people pounded old seat posts down in the seat tube to help straighten a bent ladies frame. Can anyone find those threads?
