OK...so here is the skinny. I'm new to this whole 80 MM fat bike thing. I'm doing a custom frame Build...of which I'm wanting to run 80 MM rims front and rear, with disks front and rear. When it comes to figuring out what I need to get, I'm having a little trouble. The hub is was considering...

Wish we had one down here in the midlands. I live just south of Columbia and have been waiting for someone to make a club of some sort.

That's the color mine is supposed to be too! Man my bike is missing quite a bit. Oh well. At least the handle bars are there. Thanks Tanks!

Nice Schwinn lot.

Didn't know that was original shifter. Always seen them with the shifters that had the black knob on top instead of what is on the bike now. :) Progress has been slow. As mentioned (or I think I mentioned)....I'm working alot so progress will be VERY slow with this one. But a part a day is...

Well folks...here is my find for this weekend. A very sad looking Sears Screamer. Folks say it looks like a 68', so thats what I am running with. Lol. It needs ALOT of work obviously. It has incorrect parts through out. But to me...those handlebars still being on the bike made it worth the...

Thanks :). After seeing the other S.D. up there with the same seat and grips as mine, makes me rethink the "original to the bike" status of those parts. Would be great if they were stock to the bike.

Late 50s/Early 60s Ross Super Deluxe Craigslist find. I got it because I could not get over that fender ornament. I seen the photo of that one part in the ad and said "That IS going in my collection...". Overall shape of the bike is pretty good. Mostly original, or so it seems. Only things that...

Are these bulbs a special type of bulb? They seem to be just a normal flash light bulb, as they screw into a metal plate that has a fairly stiff wire riveted to it. As for the Chain Bicycle Company thing...yes. Says so on the seat tube's decal :) .

Been watching this one on the C-List for a while. It endured a price rollercoaster. Once it got to a nice price for me, I scooped it up. Only issue is, is that the headlights don't work. But its a cool bike none the less :).

Re: Third Sidewinder This Year You find sidewinders like its no body's buisness. Lol. Paint looks better than whats on my sidewinder.

Pmed about the parts :D

Gold Street, Here are some photos of the right handed (rear derailleur) shifter. As mentioned, its a Suntour Mighter shifter. Don't care if it has some rust because Lord knows, this one does. Lol. Just want one that works well and is original to this bike :)

Sure will. I'm about to go do some work on the front rim. I'll get you a photo then. :D

Yeah they are. It still surprises me every time I get on it due to how comfy it is. Its a very fun bike to ride. :D
