Hi Everyone, been a while since I've posted on here but I picked up some bikes this weekend, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what one is. The head badge is gone, but it still wears original paint. It has wooden wheels, a skip-tooth chain, and a New Departure hub (type-A I was told). The...

I picked this up the other day & just finally had a chance to look at it, but I'm not exactly sure what I have. The serial number is on the left rear dropout and dates as an August 1954 build. It has a 2-speed automatic Bendix rear hub. I'm not sure if the springer is original, or just really...

I built this one at the request of a local guy, and friend of mine named Randy. I've known him since the early-90's when we worked together - me a punk kid fresh out of college, and Randy just returning to work after having a brain tumor the size of a grapefruit removed from behind his right...

Picked this up, poor thing had been someone's garden-art. It looks like they used double-sided tape to hold flowers or something on it??? :cry: Anyway, I rescued it. :lol: It's got a really cool chain guard, but unfortunately it looks like part is missing. Any idea what it is, or what it...

I picked this up at a sale the other weekend. It appears to be just a coaster hub, but there are no markings on the cog or the arm, and unfortunately there was no shell. It's made different than the typical Bendix style that I'm used to though. Do any of you know what this is?

This isn't a build I intended to do, but it just sort of happened. Unfortunately, I really didn't take any in-progress pics, but I do have a before & after. Last weekend was the big Labor Day street flea-market in our small town, and there were also yard sales all around. I found two Schwinn...

So I was pretty happy with the way my crusty cruiser turned out for a first project, so I decided to really take the plunge and do something a bit more extreme. I'm not a good welder by a long-shot, but I can usually get two pieces of metal to stick together, and a couple years ago I built a...

These cheap steel rat-trap pedals don't have a removable bearing cap, and it doesn't look like they intended for them to be disassembled. Has anyone had any luck pulling them apart to clean & grease the bearings? Sorry for the crappy pic, but you can see the(blurry) end of the pedal.

Hi all! I just posted a brief intro, but I wanted to go into a little more detail on my first rat build. I pulled 7-old crusty 70's bikes from my neighbor's shed a couple weeks ago, and started getting ideas for some rat/custom/cruiser builds. This first one is and idea I had of what it might...

Hi everyone! I'm glad to have found this site!!!! I've been into bikes most my life moving from BMX -> Freestyle -> Observed Trials -> Mountain Bikes, but I've never spent much time with cruisers. I'm a fan of pretty much anything with wheels though & enjoy the ratrod style - I just don't have...
