I recently took the SHARKRUISER on a meandering parts hunt throughout the depths of downtown Toronto. Next on the road was the '52 CCM that I adopted in July. After a recent wheel shuffle in the herd, this old cream puff ended up with my old faithful Shimano 7 speed. Then a short spin...

The original message reads like a Ride-by Shouting about some kinda secret bike club or maybe it was about riding outside..??? All fired in one long breath like he was being chased or on fire! Maybe they got Him?!! (or Her?!) And that's why there's just been Crickets ever since. I hope he's...

This image might be worth a quick ride thru the editing bay. IMHO

Thanks Matti, the Specialized is a nice all original (aside from new chain, pads, bearing service, tire swap, grips) cruiser. It turned out to be a nicer bike than expected, so I kept it intact for any interested parties, but not many nibbles. I got the bike partly because it had an...

My old Raleigh has seen some recent changes and plenty of fun miles this summer. and the Colson has been reliable as ever. Changes may be in the works again soon. I was thinking that the Evans fork could make the Specialized SHARKRUISER more Sharkey, but I am actually hoping to re-home the...

The pair that I viewed in were also in a basement in the Dundas West and Dufferin Street, (Little Portugal) area of Toronto.

Hey Dave, I'm pretty sure that I looked at that pair of bikes in Toronto five, six,seven years ago from the original family. They've been together forever and still are... that's cool. I was always curious what became of them. Nice save. They couldn't have found a better home. Enjoy.

Only spotted, not boughted. From the streets of Toronto. Likely not for sale and but it sure could be a practical vehicle. .... someone's been playing with power tools again.

Yes Matti, I use boiled Linseed Oil on everything. I figure this is a good choice of finish as this little piggy is goes off to market. The oil treatment can be maintained or removed to suit the new pilot's vision.

This frame sans seat followed a crusty Phantom into my stable a couple months ago. I was told it was a Hiawatha. Cleveland Welding is my guess. It's a 24" single bar tanker, paint stripped long ago. I scrapped the fubar original fork and kept broken truss rods parts. After a couple of...

Whew! That sounds close! Super Cool Save! I'm hoping that your super fly frame find might quickly solve any possible pesky rat bike parts pile issue that you may have. Gotta luv these frames and the unlimited possibilities.

Yes indeedy, you can see where the ideas stemmed from and it could leave here in someone's trunk. As soon as I seed it and that the parts were Alder, I knew I couldn't just leaf it. Thank Yew

I'm glad to Cedar some guys that are flat board and had to re-ply. Ferdy, U know it's not Cherry, but this is Spruced up and it's already Posted. I'm sure it will be the Apple of someone's eye. I may whittle the price a bit, but knot ready to chop it. Matti, this bike is actually near your...

Awe shucks Wheelbender, Y'all pronounce everything funny in Texas. Actually... they do in Holland too, now that I think about it.😉 A Welkom Henk! from Canada

TheCABE... ......where Santa Claus sends his Wish List! Hahaha...HoHoHo...LOL... I hope you get your wish returned soon. ...and I'd also like to say that I can just never stay awake late enough to catch you at my house. I'd like to apologize for telling you had bad breath in Woolworth's in...

Well, this Toasted Sandwich is ready To Go! I finished up reassembly and took the bike out for a quick burn around the block. I will say it rides like a son of a Birch...or is that Son of a Beach and was also actually very easy on my vintage Ash.🤭 It's not that I ever pined fir a wood bike...

Shou Sugi Ban! That's the name I was looking for when I mentioned the Japanese Wood burning technique. I think I've found my new favourite thing! I may have gone a little light on the wire brushing, but I'm pleased with the outcome. IDK if it might be possible to take more char off if I chose...

Thanks King, it will be fun to play with some fun ratty ideas to use for a knob. The trike also features a factory coil sprung rear deck to my surprise. This is the only tricycle that I have and it will be kept with my twin 20,30 sumthin rat forever. It might be fun to find a couple of wheel...

I've had my eye on this table top 12" Elgin Racer for a few months and was finally able to meet up with the seller yesterday. This is upon arrival, pre bath and pending blo. The day prior I picked up this FB Marketplace sandwich style find that could surely use it's hull, deck and rutter...
