Very true but for me the thrill of the hunt is over... I've found one. I've owned one. I've restored one. I'd rather have cool bikes I can ride and enjoy comfortably than have a piece of eye candy just hanging on the wall to brag about and make other collectors jealous. Don't get me wrong I love...

What's really fun to do is cut the front stands off so the wheel can hit pavement then put some roller casters on the back where the bolts are and you've got a cool drift bike. An absolute blast for empty parking lots and smooth driveways.

I'm kinda thinking the same way, I am finished with the Mini Twinn and I can't comfortably ride it being I'm not a young guy anymore. I have always wanted to build a Black Phantom and this might just be my chance. It would certainly be cool to restore them both and have a few more ridable relics...

So I had an interesting trade offer on my 68 Mini Twinn. Guy offered a 1955 Red Phantom (has been painted but all there and og paint looks to have been preserved underneath) and a prewar black phantom (Also been painted but again all there minus tank) I'm feeling it but wanted to ask advice...

I bought a set off of eBay and the first set disintegrated when I put them in water. I got a replacement set but have not put them on yet because I'm going to take some scans and try to have them done in vinyl so I can just stick them on and be done. Just wondering if there's some trick to the...

Finally got around to painting the pinstripe on the tank and guard a small detail but makes a big difference.

That's one thing I love about my 50 Western Flyer is it's got room for plenty of tire.

Predator looks much better on spokes and gumwalls. The GT fan blade mags are now far away from it. I may order a set of decals for this one and clean it up. Amazing how similar these frames are. Still need to install the decals on this one. Any advice on doing waterslide decals???

Parts bike! Scored this little Mongoose today for $20. Mainly got it for the rims which will be wrapped in gumwall tires and installed on my Predator frame along with the gyro system, brakes, stem, and bars. The chain sprocket may find it's way into the bandit bike as well. this sprocket might...

I do like them on there. I had just parted out a Lajolla 24" cruiser when I built this bike and I decided to throw them on to prevent splash up on the trails. I painted them black so they kinda blend in with the tires. I've had a lot of people ask me if it came with the fenders.

I think I'm just gonna go with the plain black seat. They don't make a vinyl and fabric paint in gold and gold seats are hard to find. Besides I think it will look better with the less is more approach.

If they had a seat with it embroidered that would be awesome but a sticker would never last through a ride. I do have another seat that has a removable insert made to be reupholstered that I'm gonna see what the local shop would charge to embroider a piece of scrap leather or vinyl and upholster...

Decided I don't like the seat that I robbed from my Schwinn Thrasher with lay back post so I ordered more new stuff. I like the look of this seat with the rivets on the back. And then I found this braced seat postThen I decided let's buy some cheap bling just for fun Previous total...

The last bike I rode was taking the Bandit out for a shakedown ride. Rides great and I can see this quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Nice score. I didn't know they did a 24 inch in chrome I have the green one. Got mine a little on the rough side. Crank was bent, handlebars were bent, mismatched tires, and wrong seat. I ended up replacing the crank with a 3 piece I had laying around, got a proper chainring and spyder, new...

Awesome thanks for the info. I think I'm gonna go for one of the black ones from the link slow-rider posted then paint it gold and sand the face of it back to bare aluminum and do that. I kinda like the 2 dimensional look of it and I may at a later date have you custom make me an inner chainring...

That would be awesome! What would you charge to do the job?

I'd settle for any color one at this point in any tooth count. Just can't find one. Every site I see is out of stock or it's some overseas site that looks sketchy.

I really want to keep my Nexus 4 speed on there from what I'm seeing that sprocket is pure unobtainium so it doesn't matter either way. Can't find one anywhere in stock let alone in the size or color I need
