My vote is no , it is not. Especially if you plan to motorize it.

Is the tank because you are motorizing it? For a 1/4 inch I'd be modifying the tank with a hammer and a block of wood. Assuming it is metal.

Never even thought of that... Ebay here I come....:rofl:

I'm hoping with all the weldors here we might have someone who knows about this stuff.. I work in a model railroad store and we toss a lot of used track..I've got quite a few pounds of nickel silver rail and was wondering if it was worth keeping to try and braze with....the local scrap mill...

If You substituted "Stealing" for "riding" you'd have another great sticker! Warning This post is not for reading..Such use may result in fatal injuries, death, or worse.Read and comment at your own risk. :bigsmile:

I'd be very tempted to mask off the decal/silkscreen and polish the rest. Don't apply your tape directly to the fragile lettering however. Tape a piece of paper over them. You can spot polish with a rag wrapped around a Q tip but it is tedious and you still have to be very careful of stuff you...

Wow..Poor thing. Another Screamer with normal handlebars instead of butterflies...Were they shipped this way in some cases? If he'd move the decimal place over I'd jump on it and try to save it. But at $250, it makes no sense even parting it out .

Lots of gentle taps at the bend area , not enough to dent or move the metal, will tend to let it relax back into shape if you also preload it in that direction with the methods above. "Use a few c clamps to tighten it down,leave it for a day or so. Metal,for the most part has a memory. " The...

Lots of the guys who have youtube swing bike videos are doing multi speed. Although I'm not sure if the extra speeds can really be used much with the bike in swing mode. I'm planning a SB build, and like you , I have an original. I'm thinking a larger size myself, as the one in my avatar is a...

I'm thinking the shorter seat post and sliding the sissy bar down a little will be enough, looking at the picture of the young lady riding..Especially if Dad teaches her to pedal with the ball of her foot instead of the arch area. As far as the bars, you can drop them some by tilting them back...

Did you have either replated? Don't cut if you did, swap them out. Otherwise......you gotta have a shorter post around somewhere..and repop sissys are a dime a dozen. I've got one off a Micargi Hero Girl's bike I might swap with you and I'm sure lots of guys closer to you might as well.

Just picked up a Micargi Hero for the 20 incher springer....I'll have to give you a report and photo once it is blownapart. It is heavy , I think.

You'll need to tell us more....condition is key to values, almost as much as pictures and an accurate knowledge of what model, year, version, etc of the bike are. Post a pic or a link to a pic online of the bike and I'm sure you'll get some better responses. And WElcome!!

Yup, cleaning the chain is on the to do list... but the crunch is in the same pedal position each time, so I suspect the BB is most likely in as good a shape as the wheel bearings were (Preloaded about 1/2 a turn!!????$!) I think I MIGHT need to return this to the scrapyard guy I got it from...

Thanks, Slowriderz! Ilooked up the parts separately and I did ok. Not spectacular, but I didn't lose my shirt anyhow. I think this one will be blown apart pretty soon! MBBO here I come!

I picked up a Micargi Hero Girl's "lowriderr" banana bike this weekend.. Mainly because I liked the looks of the springier and tires/wheels.. The bike is in pretty nice shape with just a few dings and bright chrome. I'm looking at certain parts for an adult ridden swing bike build.. Are these...

To the zero vote bikes: I wanted to vote for almost every one of ya...but didn't have enough votes!! I'd love to own any of those "no vote misfits" and you guys should be proud of what you've done. Special mention goes to the MASH bike. Well done theme bike to honor the veterans...Round of...

I rode the bike this morning in the rain...figured I couldn't hurt it....and I do hope they are plastic covered....Yup, 3 pc cotterless. I'll be popping them off and investigating further as the BB is crunchy under load, I discovered. For a $5 bike I guess I can't complain. A bit of elbow...

You think Canada is bad, you should try shipping to Australia. I ship out little trinkets and model railroad engines all day long and the international shipping rates kill most any non USA business. Yet I can get a pair of prescription glasses sent here from China with free shipping for $25...

Good to know... Thanks!
