Brought home this 1979 Conti II. I am very unfamiliar with these Schwinns. Its a low spec bike, but virtually every component is stamped Schwinn or Schwinn Approved. That crankset is as big as a satellite dish. I may add upright bars and a 3 spd coaster hub.

Picked up this Roland lady's cruiser for $80 to pull the 3 spd wheelset, shifter and stem off it. I'll transfer the parts to my Hyper cruiser for lunch hour rides at work. It could end up on a build off bike.

Saw this bike on Pinterest (it aint mine) and admired the bends in the sissy bar. Is there a simple way to make those bends without ruining the chrome, like conduit benders or propane torches?

This is the first electrified Muscle Bike I have seen offered by a manufacturer. 24" rear tire and 20" front tire with ape bars. -It is also a fat tire bike. -I would rather save a grand an build my own, but it is a cool little e-bike...

First time I have seen one of these. Pretty cool. "Mongoose Big Daddy Don Garlits Muscle Bike rare like Schwinn Krate Stingray. Condition is "like New". Shipped with Flat Rate Freight. This is the story I was told when I bought the bike. In the late 90's mongoose and hall of fame drag racer...

I rode the Tempe Town Lake bike paths many times when I lived in the Valley of the Sun for 15 years. It was also a good way to access the Indian Bend path in Scottsdale. - The Tempe Town Lake RR Bridge collapsed this morning with ten cars on it. Nasty fire too. The bike paths underneath it...

I finally ditched the clamp-on kick stand from my Flighliner and mounted a proper one. Unfortunately, the kick stand is too long. Would it be easier to cut this stand or bend it using a propane torch?

A lot of people in my coastal village have a 5 foot Tiki carved locally. This dude has a Moai that must be 20 ft tall.

Saw this Sachs drum brake on FleaBay and placed my order. It installed easily with a little grinding here and there. Now I need to rub in some chrome polish on that frame and fork.

Usually, when I see a motorized bike on craigslist, it is a cheap bike and a poorly installed motor kit that wont run. I love this one, though it needs a seat and some other items. I'd ride this one if it didn't have an engine...

I had planned on some action photos, but my wife decided to take a nap. The beach was nicely packed, but transitions areas between pavement and beach were super soft.

Cycling deity Eddie Merckx suffered a bad head injury this week from a bicycle crash. Most of you that have donned the spandex know that Eddie Merckx won all the Grand Tours of cycling, and won both the TDF and Giro 5 times! -Eddie was such a rabid competitor that he tried to win EVERY stage...

I saw this pic on a motorized bicycle forum. I don't know who built it.

I have seen this bike locked up at my local grocery store the past few times I visited, so I snapped a pic. Not Chicago made, but it has a nice lugged frame made by Giant in Taiwan. Hardly a scratch on it.

I bought a Sears Spyder 24" frame/fork this week (banana seat bike). Original chrome finish has been painted over, so no need to attempt to source original parts. -It was advertised as a Sears Screamer, but I don't think there were any 24" Screamers produced. -I don't think Sears sold any...

This was recently posted on my local craigslist in Houston. Can anybody ID this unique frame? Seller said its a 3 spd but it looks like it has a derailleur. https://houston.craigslist.org/bik/d/classic-banana-seat-muscle/6476346288.html

I stopped in Stangos coffee shop in San Angelo, TX for a latte, and saw that muscle bikes were hanging from the ceiling. Sorry about the blurry pic but I was excited. Looks like a Krate and a Pea Picker. I wish they would open a Stangos near Spacetown.

Anybody know where you can get a brake adapter like the pic, but big enough for 4 in tires? Thanks

This 24 inch is on my local CL. Nothing rare, but a nice, complete 24 inch banana bike. Vintage Sears Spyder Single Speed Muscle Bike - $135 (Katy, TX) http://houston.craigslist.org/bik/5210722501.html

24v Currie kits are cheap and simple to install, but they are very tail heavy and performance is unimpressive. I upped the motor gear ratio with a new freewheel to gain some top speed. I moved the SLA batteries from the rear rack to an ammo box in the frame triangle. I needed a new housing...
