Thanks for your help!

Just wondering if anyone knows if any bike shops in the U.S ships bikes to Australia at a fair price? I would like to buy a Felt Magno but the bike shops in Oz want over $1000 for it :shock: the felt website says RRP $469.I am also after a vintage Sears Spaceliner in great condition as I have...

He seems to think the 2nd one is original,I have no experience in these bikes :(

They are already in Australia where I live.He is asking big dollars so only one at this stage,the top one is some $300 more than the bottom one.

I have found two J C Higgins bikes for sale,just wondering which one to buy if any.They are quite pricey,but they are in Australia.How much are they worth in the U.S as I am travelling there in September.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I hope he does'nt trash it too much,he is a bit of a dare devil rider,then again I was crazy at his age,some people still think I am crazy now :D

The finished bike! My nephew will be riding this to school, he will be the coolest kid,the chicks will love him :wink:

Used some small handlebars off a klunker girl's bike and turned them upside down.

Had a rusty old light I treated with rust converter,painted it black and added a LED :)

Made a chain guard out of some MDF,lacquered it and added a cool sticker :D

Added some brakes and some cool stickers :wink:

Mounted the shifter to the top tube.

Gave the wheel a clean with a rust converter and painted it silver. I used a bmx style wheel I got from ebay for the front.

I wanted to build a cool bike for my nephew,he is 10.So I decided on building a board tracker style bike.I had an old 3speed wheel and shifter I used for the running gear.

I had this mystery 20 inch "made in Poland" frame a mate gave to me.I stripped it, gave it a coat of blue,accented the lugs, hung it up on a hook and left it there.
