I'm trying to figure the year of this bike. Not sure if anyone knows of a good reference chart. I know its got to be around 35+ years old.

just found this today. im guessing right now that its around a 16" bike. i can not find any numbers or markings at all. had solid tires that someone removed. its got old paint but the lines arnt straight so im guessing it may have been repainted. the crank is a little different because its...

Im sorry if i wasted peoples time. I felt like i was taken advantage of as a newbie. Yes it was in person and not alot of money and i could have walked away. My main point of starting this was to make sure what you are told is right.... "Do your homework". I guess i should not have made the...

Sorry to waste any ones time. I actually never noticed the feedback numbers before. Ive noticed the joined date and looked on. Ill contact him and then if im not happy just leave negative feedback. This site is even better than i knew. Craigslist needs that..... have called #### people with...

Is the front suspension a kit or something you made? I just got a 12" bmx that i can not get my 2 year old son off of. I was planning on completely rebuilding it this winter. I would love to to that to his. We literally have to push it to the table to get him to eat and a couple times next...

The problem i had was i made a trade that i got burned on. Also while i was there he had alot of other stuff and i got burned on that purchase too. I think im more mad at myself. Im getting better with bikes and if i knew what i knew now i would have just walked. My main hope was to make...

It happens i guess. It wasn't anything real major but just wanted to put something out there. I know the admins do everything they possibly can but its the internet. Personal i have a few email addresses and there is no way they ever could track me down if i opened up 3 or 4 user names. Im...

True True Hey have you done anything with the bike i traded you? Im finally getting around to fixing up that 24" wasp. Im having a little problem finding the right size parts but got a guy helping me now. Im not sure why but a 24" fender does not match up from the frame to the rear tire...

Just want to start this by saying this is any amazing forum and enjoy all the knowledge I get from it. I want to make a post/warning to make sure you do your homework. Recently I made a bad trade and purchase with people on the forum. The only one to blame is myself but I guess you live and...

Thanks. unfortunately the bike was to far gone. I was able to save chain guard, sprocket, Forks, handlebars and rear hub. Unfortunately it got water in it and froze over winter.

Was talking to someone that remembered a house (real close to mine) that had the whole yard covered in bikes. He said its been like 20+ years since he remembers seeing it. Its not a very big road so i figured so i figured id walk it and keep an eye out. I saw through a fence a bike stand and...

Im going to be repainting an old schwinn for my wife and she wants the original looking logos back on. I know the new ones i get will probably be vinyl. Im going to be rattle caning and clear coating. My question is if i should have the sticker under or over the clear? I though over but...

Im laying out my first stretched out cruiser im about to start building. Id like to have gears but if i dont not to worried. One of the questions i have is about the chain. If i keep it a single gear do i need any type of guide? from the crank to the back is going to be roughly 3-3 1/2 foot...

I have a friend of a friend wanting to sell me a bike. its a 50's huffy beach cruiser. looks like it wasn't abused but will need a lot of elbow grease. They are asking $40 and staying firm. Im still a little new at picking things up but want to know what other people though. I know...

If anyone is interested in it let me know on here. Im on the fence if im doing it. 11:00pm is a little late for me unless its gona be something good.

Re: internal geared hub question It will be on a cruiser im stretching out. right now i dont have forks (thinking springer) and am just getting into cutting the frame. I wanted to try and get the major pieces before i start welding anything. Im starting out with a cruiser frame and old...

Re: internal geared hub question the other idea someone gave me was a front hub brake im wondering if thats a cheaper rout? but i think ill still have to get the wheel made

Ive decided to try a internal geared hub with a coaster brake and have never had one before. All the ones i can find are just the hub with no wheel. I have never tried to build a wheel and not sure how hard it is to get right. If i cant i have a couple bike shops in town that could. My big...

Im about to start a project and getting parts together. im gona make a stretched out cruiser. I want to make it look old school....flat black and red painted rims. the question i have is that i want to have gears on it but im worried the brakes will mess the paint up on the rim. other than...
