Here's one of the winners, built by a young man and his dad: He told me there were parts of 8 different bikes in it.. And..again, a very rideable bike. Here's a link or two to the album they are all in.. There area a lot of bike pics there but the newest 40 or so were from the show and the...

What was the final count for show bikes? I think Jim's first pics are from early on before everyone was there.. It looks like you got all of my bikes in the pics backgrounds, even the Hawthorne I got from Kevin on the work stand (It kept trying to fall over on better bikes...) If my pics turned...

Great show! Thank you to the organizers and the vendors for a super day!

I saw it in person today and it is very well built, looks awesome, and best of all, it is very rideable! (Just keep it away from the speed bumps...:banghead:). The seat had me fooled, it really looks like Chrome at first glance. And the welding......top notch! The size is pretty impressive, it...

The seat post is from Home Depot - 5/8 solid rod steel, and it held up fine on our ride this afternoon. I bent it in the safety chain holes on my pickup's bumper. I will attempt to redo it with a sharper bend someday, but for now it works! I'm working on the fenders....but I need wheels with...

What's the seven mark on the hub mean? I always thought that was the month.. Cool arch bar frame! (and the rest of the bike too..!) I'd ride it!

That's cool! Looks like he's having fun with it too! The picture of him racing against a bunch of road bikes is priceless! Now all we have to do is convince him he needs a banana seat. :113:

Loading the bike into the pickup in a few minutes.. See y'all at the ride!

Down to the wire on this one, and it's not even in BOTEN...Anyhow, I got to Home Despots tonight just before closing, and picked up the seatpost steel. I didn't even leave the parking lot and I had it bent, although not as good as some. I installed it for a quick try and realized my measurement...

It seems like that guy has twins all over the country... I've seen yard displays just like that in several places during my travels. I wonder if he ever sells any of the little ones. Cool hobby anyway, and it keeps the bikes out of landfills and scrap yards. Those tires look great!

Thank you! I like it a lot....even more after riding it a while. The wheels (and black hubs)are the only non original colored components.. That blue on the tank appears to be original, although to me it doesn't really go with the deep maroon the rest was originally before fading. The white...

On Craigslist vintage can mean anything from a true antique to something bought last week from Wally World that looks kinda like a bike I saw in a movie once. It really is meaningless but it does help filter out the modern stuff I don't have any interest in. Old, Antique, and Classic are all the...

Ahem,, I meant Nice SEAT......:blush: Here is another view: This is my least favorite feature on the bike... The front spring collapses as soon as I put any pressure on it....and the noise is annoying. I am attempting to trace down all the squeaks and scrapes and with the seat making all...

I've been cluttering up the fresh find thread with a "build" of sorts.... This was a local Craigslist find...What amazes me is that another old bike fan passed on it. (He didn't have wheels to fit it.??) Got it home on top of my load of scrap metal I need to toss soon. One day I will have an...

Wait.. I haven't chosen a bike to build yet!!:crazy: Gotta Get crackin'!!:blush:

Sweet! I'm Likin' the wooden handlebar. Oak, right?

Red and green makes me think marine use...or a bike near the sea?? Look like Original Delta to me, but I'm no expert.

You might have to make one with a piece of 1/8++ steel and two drill bits for the pins if you can't borrow one from someone.

I had some time today to play with my bikes so I did some seriousl thrashing.. Got a rack on my Mesa, fixed a kids bike for sale, and tore apart the Cranbrook.. Put the wheels and crank on the Lady...and the bars on the Schwinn. Did a bit of straightening on the rack. I think I'm going to...

3.6 mile ride, 19 minutes on the map on the page at your link, in case anyone is scared it'll be too hard. (like me..) (the S and H store link in Steve's signature lines.. Helmets required or no?
