I switched up the chrome banana seat cruiser with Fat Franks on Taboo Tiki rims mounted to a repro Monarch fork . A old wrights saddle along with some diamond back pedals and gold anodized axle nuts finish it off.

I have this BSA Super Snipe road bike with all the other parts boxed up. I have not been able to find any info on it, anybody familiar with this model?

What do you Guy's use for cool cable housings??

I have had this chrome cantilever frame hanging around for years so I put it together with a 3 speed Nexus wheelset over the weekend. It's nice when you can put a whole bike together with parts you have lying around and not have to buy a thing.

So I dusted off my old Sierra Grande MB that I bought new in 1985, still in good mechanical condition but the paint is suffering from years of commuting.

Do any of you guy's run custom axle nuts on your builds, I like the chrome ones that come with the Nexus hubs or sometimes use these.

I was lucky enough to find some nos fenders my old MX.

What do you guy's have for bike locks,over the years I have accumulated a few? Show me what you have vintage, cool or unusual.

My Maruishi cruiser I added a wonton engine to, rips pretty good but I am thinking of putting it back to manual cruiser mode. I don't see a lot of info on these bikes and they have a frame similar to the GT mountainbike seatstay style.

Here is my Kuwahara ,would you Guy's know what model and market value?

I came across my old Fat Tire Flyer T shirt that I bought in the early '80's when I had a subscription to their magazine. Anybody else still have one?

I was wondering if anyone knew if my Higgins would of had fork truss rods, headlight or rear rack and what they would look like. As far as I know this is a 1951??

Here's a tip that's Rat Rod friendly (inexpensive) When I recently finished my red primer RR (tomorrow's Rat) I used lemon pledge on the frame and it gave it a subtle sheen and is not prone to fingerprints , grease and dust! :lol: And it smells good too! I applied it and gave it a...

:D Well, I got the old Norco sanded down and painted yesterday and I am happy with the results. The only thing left to do is finish up the checkered insert for the frame. I like some feedback on this color combo, do you think it works? One other option I have on this bike is...

It was Christmas eve and all through the house Not a creature was stirrin' Not even a RAT. Merry Christmas to all my fellow Ratters, and to all a good night. Vroom :wink:

Are these hard to come by, I got a coffee can full of new ones.

:P Well maybe not tomorrow but soon! I know it's not real old but in Canada there is not to many old cruisers like you have in the USA. What I like about these Norco's (I have 3 ) is 24x3 tires fit the frame with no mods. I'm guessing this is late '70'S or early '80'S. The plan...

:) Check this out! Front and rear drum brakes and a good ol 3 speed. I am thinking of cutting the hubs out for a tandem cruiser project I have but I not sure yet. [/img]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r187/sideways_bucket/2006_1205oldboy0092.jpg

:?: Hey guys, has anybody spray-painted aluminun rims , if so how well do they stand-up? I am wondering if I have to use a zinc-chromate primer, LMK Thanks.

Did it work? Here's 2 bikes I did 2 years ago for my wife and I.There semi-flat black frames ,her's with blue lacquer tin with Tremclad clear on top, mine has just red enamel.(much easier). They are heavily pinstriped with lot's of polished stainless acorn nuts and button-head machine...
