Cleaning up the little shop (affectionately referred to “Somewhere Else” around here) the last few weeks and started taking inventory of frames and parts needed to assemble riders. First up was this old ‘50’s Huffy step-through frame that I’ve been trying to sell for years... I had a spare...

I’ve had this ladies bike for several years and can’t seem to give it away, so I’m going to tinker with it and build a swap meet rat bike. Not that it really matters, but...does anyone have an idea of what I have here? First thought was Schwinn, but the chainwheel doesn’t look right...

A friend contacted me about several bikes he has found at a yard/estate sale a while back. He sent pics and he helped me get the deal done. Fast forward to this weekend, I now have them in my possession. Columbia-built Westfield Custom Deluxe - thinking its around 1953... Anyone have a tank...

Back in February, I attended the Hurricane Coasters Bike Swap in Concord, NC, and picked up a new project...a cool Schwinn balloon tire cruiser. It was a relatively original frame and forks, the only real modification was someone tried to repaint the white graphics. Fink Green Felt wheels and...

Picked up this Schwinn cantilever a couple weeks ago and I have some cool ideas for a mild custom cruiser. I’ve been slowly cleaning it to ready it for stripes and clear. Can anyone help me with dating the serial number! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is Wolfliner - 1966 Ladies Spaceliner I had asked my wife, if I built a bike for her, what would she like? Her obvious answer...an NC State bike. See, she only applied to one school...accepted and graduated in 1988! Started with a decent but dirty find...not really sure how I acquired...

It hit me yesterday... Why am I not entering my wife's bike in the WBO'17?!?! So here it is! I'm going to recap everything I've done since the start of WBO'17, pretty much a cut/paste of what is in the "other" build thread...

I see others posting non-sale posts on the RRB Facebook group, but all I can seem to find is the "for sale" option. How do I just share a photo or comment outside of a classified post??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
