I tried to post this this morning….quick synopsis: Wanted a vintage Schwinn run-a-bout Was not willing to pay a grand for one Had a Rollfast Skate (or Scoot for those who feel persnickety about it) For about 50.00 procured a vintage quick release handlebar stem and seat stay. Switched out some...

I acquired this 90’s-ish Huffy Santa Fe. An internet search led me to many different configurations so I decided to modify it to touch upon those incarnations bit by bit…not quite done yet…😉Pardon the mess btw😬

So I was testing this bike that I had just tweaked (24” version from end instead of the usual 26” and it helps on inclines…) and I saw that there’s someone renting out kei cars here in the ‘Ham. I’ve already got the knobbies for it…😉

Here’s an old Ross Panther Super Deluxe that had a bent fork and one rotten tire on a rusty wheel. I rescued the remainder from the crusher and used some bits and pieces that I had lying around. I hadn’t built a board track inspired bicycle so I figured this would be a good time to cross that...

I didn’t know Velocals had shut down….🙁

I mentioned this before. Added another coat of paint and oiled the parts that were necessary after dismantling the bicycle. The Mesinger seat was replaced by a banana seat with an underhook stay and the bars were replaced with some that had a significantly higher rise. And it also glows in the...

I got some parts from a Ozone Malibu cruiser that I modified and transferred then to a Silver Canyon hence the moniker. Pics 1 and 3 are the two. 2 and 4 is the process and 5 is the finished result.

I have a 70ish Murray here that I’ve been tooling around on. I’ve already painted most of it to a very gaudy (I was going for delightfully tacky) lime green (the original color looked like old urine) and I’m going to reinforce it with another coat. I’ve also changed the seat to a polo style with...

I’m about to embark on jazzing up this 1970(?) AMF (I assume) Texas Ranger…I may rechristen it “El Diablo Tejano” a.k.a “Bass Reeves” I’ve sorted out the bits and pieces that I’d like to attach and possibly substitute. I wanted to change the stem to resemble the one on my Hercules, but I should...

Just got this in the mail (along with quadruplets) Color me a bit excited. I’m trying to figure out which ones will get them…Tried one out on an ‘81 Murray Monterey and it doesn’t look too out of place on it. Though I probably need to break out the box cutter and do a bit of trimming. Anyhoo...

Another 10 or so miles through the ‘Ham. Honestly with a decent tuning it’ll be okay. Anyhoo hope all’s well with y’all.

Just a Thursday Trample in the Tragic City on a Savannah (by Huffy, of course). A quick resto with 8 easy miles on it.

I must admit that my love of cycling has been exponentially increased by some of the talented customers, fabricators, restorers, ratters and other “kustomizerz”that are on this site (also I love the lack of snobbery, yet I also love the frank advice that some of the subscribers have bequeathed...
