Thank you!

Help please! How do I mark the bike as SOLD?

To average 30 mph on public roads for 500 miles is sick!

I agree, a bigger front tire would be an improvement. In any event the bike is sold!

Saw this Giant Stiletto in front of a local bikeshop. It had served as a "sled" for a stuffed santa during the holidays but spring is coming and the owner says it's time for the bike to find a new home. If interested contact River Bicycles in Greenwich Ct.. The owner (Frank) didn't have a firm...

The finished product!

Thank you for the pics, tips and words of encouragement. I found a pair of 20 inch wheels and plan on swapping them onto the bike. Could leave the rear wheel intact but the bike sat out in the rain so long that there is too much rust/pitting. Don't recall the Scrambler version but I like the look.

Not feeling real great today after searching this site and discovering I've put in considerable time/effort/$ into restoring an $88 Black Friday Krate (new handlebars not shown). I should get some enjoyment from riding it if I don't crack my skull reliving my "wheelie" days.

The DecoBike was one of the original bike sharing programs in the country. It started in 2009 in Miami and eventually spread to a few other cities before becoming Citibank CitiBikes (this exact bike can be found in the original proposal to Citibank and was used as the prototype). How this...

No idea of the age. I know it sat outside at a local school for a long time but they weren't able to provide any info. It's amazing that aside from the handlebars all the rust came off. I did have to strip off the enamel bake coating on the basket and repaint but aside from chipping easily it...

Naval jelly. HomeDepot carries Rustoleum Rust Dissolver in an 8 oz bottle but I prefer the Permatex Rust Dissolver version I buy from a local truck parts store. It will turn the rust to dust that can be removed with very fine steel wool. The Worksman trike I posted today was covered in rust, now...

I had the trike, the motor and the battery so why not put them together? The 36 volt controller was $16 on ebay so for not a lot of money I have a "grocery getter". Have to agree with MattiThundrr from a previous post that the 1 wheel drive stinks but I upgraded the tires and there is a slight...

Nice bike! When I saw the picture I thought I had seen it riding with a guy on a tall (one bike on top of another) on the Sunday ride.

Jason, Thank you for the welcome and the thumbs up! Joe D

Thanks J for the welcome and the thumbs up! The bike has no issue doing 25mph up the steepest hills and can cruise close to 30 on the flats. The original battery I ordered never came from China but this one is good and I can do about 22 miles on a charge. Are you in Australia? I am told there...

Hello Hamppea!, I ride the weekly Bicycle Sundays religiously and liked the extension through the entire summer during covid. Is the Empire Trail the North/South County Trailways? I like to ride the South County Trailway from the start in Elmsford south to Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx where...

Hello Mr Free! Unfortunately the LeMond is gone along with the 3-speed Ross Polobike. A good friend is restoring a LeMond that is an aluminum/carbon fiber frame. I will post a pic when it is completed. Also, I think I recently sold a BMX bike to a guy at the Meriden Fire Dept! Small world-

Bought this as part of a 4 bike package at a tag sale (along with 2 Ross Polobikes and a LeMond road bike). Any information would be appreciated such as age and value.

Hello! My name is Joe and I am 66 yrs old and located north of NYC. I hadn't ridden a bicycle since college but when I received a 37 pound Raleigh road bike for my 50th birthday I started again. I am not as dedicated as I was in my mid 50's logging between 3000-5000 miles each year but I still...
