What were those frames originally? They look identical to my Schwinn Wildwood..The rear dropouts especially. Nice clean and simple builds.

So the sticker is a repop?? It is a cool piece even if not as advertised...or is it?

The Huffy Verona I just picked up has PLASTIC cranks!!! The plating has worn off and there are surface cracks starting. What were they thinking?? I'm thinking lawsuit territory right there.. It does have a nice looking frame, however. Not really even close to a mountain bike. Has this...

I voted for ya man... how could I not after seeing it in person and seeing you ride rings around the rest of the bikes that day. You did one hexx of a job making that frame.

If one is into statistics.....I think your chances of getting any votes become smaller and smaller when the field is larger.. but then again, I've failed math at least three times(Or was it four?) If you didn't get any votes, it sin't because nobody liked your bike, I assure you. I really...

I've got a Walmart MT Bike I'm going to use the spray cans with.. I wonder if you can use a regular automotive spray gun with the stuff.

"Everybody did an amazing job,whether it's a bunch of junk you bolted together or you had access to the newest high tech equipment. We're just here to have a little fun." Now there's an opinion I can wholeheartedly endorse!:41: The bikes were all great builds in their own way...some were more...

It does look a little better in the pics than in person.....I really want to clean up the rusty chrome...cause I know it would clean pretty nicely. I've gotta take apart the freewheel and clean up/regrease all the bearings so I thought a dip in some Evaporust might be in order for at least the...

DJ Bill Any thoughts on how to refurb this or whether to even do anything appreciated. I'm not entirely certain that the bars and stem are not replacement Wald units..although the patina on them matches. If it was an old Schwinn ten speed I'd be after all the chrome with copper wool and...

Congrats on a beautiful job well done. I've never seen the cap on the 3 speed axle nut before...Where'd you find that?

I'm still deciding... what a field of contenders!

And in the back there is a small hole in the sheet metal pan on each side for a bolt to attach the sissy bar to the seat. The rear supports are not triangulated or anything on most of the muscle bikes and it's amazing they stay on straight. Anything you build yourself is bound to be more heavy...

That would be a really nice bike to ride in Memorial Day parades.

Wow, some stuff I never knew...including this: "The Gendron Wheel Company. The company was not only the originator of the wire wheel, but it has been the recognized leader in goods of that class. Many of the machines used in the manufacture of the company's product are the direct invention of...

I think I remember the salesman at the Schwinn shop in Bennington, Vermont telling me the World Voyageur was nearly as good as a Paramount....and I remember paying $225 IIRC. for it used but in mint condition. Unfortunately it is no longer in the same condition after almost 35 years in storage...

What tires are those? Looking good!

How would a Motobecane Super Mirage and a Schwinn World Voyageur fit in pricewise and desirability? Both have center pull Weinmann brakes but I couldn't ID the rest of the component where they were stored. Back in 77 they were my dream bikes.. Dang that was a long time ago. Am I really that old?

Man, that would drive me nuts....but if it is in a catalog shot like that, who am I to argue! :happy: Nice truss rod set and bracket.. good and shiny!!

Probably has something to do with the out gassing of the chemicals in the tires..As the tires dry out they release some of the stuff that makes them pliable. An extreme case would be your typical gumwall left in a hot place for a long time...the tire gets covered with "stuff" that looks like it...
