After much thought and consideration I've decided to build a 1953 Huffman 26" BMX tribute bike. Plan for now it to paint it as close to the original green I found when I started removing 3 layers of paint. I want to be right about 1984-1986 era for the parts. Don't know if there was a BMX bike...

This morning I started trying to decide on some handlebars so I know how long to make the shift and brake cables. This combo looks odd, but id actually pretty comfortable. I'm a big guy so it stretches the bike without stretching the bike. I put a MTB flat bar in the standard position and going...

Worked on building my own 20" aluminum disc brake front wheel this morning before heading to work. Had a few missing spokes with no correct replacements, so I removed more and repositioned them. Turned out better then expected and spins straight as an arrow. Next up is getting a rear disc brake...

Just got it home. Now I need to see if I can find a picture of a complete one and start looking for I'm assuming training wheels and a convertible too bar and new decals. It's been sitting in their garden as used art for 5-6 years and the decal on one side is faded pretty bad.

Decided to go a different way with this. I pulled the seat and seat post off of it, found a taller post and put a stem and a MTB flat bar on it just to get an idea of how it would look and what type of bars I would actually need. And other then the bars being to low stillit felt like I could...

Added a couple freestyle frames. Will be adding more over the weekend.

Gotcha. I looked through all the guards I have and the only one that comes close to that is a chrome OCC stingray chopper gard from the middle sized bike. I've got a few short/standard ones but I'm no good at welding sheet metal. Good luck in your quest. If I see or hear of anything I'll let you...

Cleaning out one of my parts sheds and have some parts I don't need or have multiples of. Pick up in Burt, IA. Or I'll shipping anything at your cost. And I will ship internationally as well. Off to work, but will be adding items when I'm back home. For those of you that are also on the CABE I...

There are a few different posts in black, chrome, gold and unpainted looks like they range from $90-$125 https://www.ebay.com/itm/165487282104?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=adNKEEeTSqO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=-t0mb8cvsvi&var=465037819781&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Ok, so last week I won an online auction for a 350 electric self balancing unicycle. (Alcohol may have contributed to that decision). Today I tried to try it out. And I am 100% positive that had I continued I may not have survived. So I spent the rest of the day wondering what to do with and so...

I just came across the Freedom 2 green and white childs balance bike about 20 minutes ago at a friend's place. I didn't have my phone on me but I'll post a picture tomorrow afternoon, I'm buying it and a 50's 24" boys bike. Not sure what it is. No head badge or chain gard. But the price was...

Looking for someone that would be willing to pick up a bike repair stand from a local business in Oklahoma City and ship it to me. It's an auction on the Shop goodwill online auction site and that location is a pick-up only location. If I win it the item will already be paid for and you would...

After about an hour of well wasted time scrolling that sight it looks like it could have been built by "The Cruiser Shop" if not they may be able to tell you who did. Either way they can get you the parts to build it it looks like. https://www.thecruisershopcampbell.com/thebikes?lightbox=i81e1s...

Very cool bikes and article. Thanks for posting it. Those are way cooler then my 1996 Mercedes MTB Bike. On mine they didn't use the triangle emblem for the sprocket, but they did for the custom 3 mounting holes disc brake rotors and stamped it into each side of the Aluminum frame pivot...

Looks pretty close to several of the bikes here. Once you open the link it shows several other custom low rider frames.

I'm building a small enclosed trailer made from the aluminum belly storage box from a semi truck flatbed trailer I found in the ditch. It looks to have fallen off because the mounting bolts vibrated loose. One corner was crumpled up but a car scissor jack and clever use of chunks of wood and I...

Finally got everything on the Trek SoHo S Deluxe working perfectly. Nice bike once I got used to how quite it is with the belt drive. 1st Shimano Nexus-8 I've owned as well as the 1st Roller brake set up I've had. Rides incredibly smooth. But my old Huffy is still my favorite bike to ride. I...

20" 1954 Hawthorne when I got it. Same bike after I was done with it. 24" 1954 Hawthorne.

Thanks. I'm still waiting on the cable housings. I'm working on it right now. Just put new painted to match crank arms and a larger 2 ring front sprocket set on. New pedals. And a bit of paint touch-up on the hand painted wheel graphics. And a new chain is next. It's been a fun build and can't...
