One of my favorites...

Thanks for all the kind words! I'll get some more pix up as soon as I find a little time to get my lazy self out and do it. :rolleyes: Because of the bright colors against the shiny bare metal, the pinstripes are tough to photograph. I am kind of fond of these enhanced shots I made on...

This will clean up incredibly nice. I've brought bikes back to life that were a lot worse than this! :cool:

Thanks! There are a couple guys out there that put new leather on these but it would be easier to just get another one. I'll probably leave the B-66 on it. I like the added spring action.

In spite of all the battles I had with this bike, I had a lot of fun with it and it came out better than expected. The bike is rock solid and buttery smooth to ride. It gets plenty of attention everywhere I go with it. I hope to get some better photos of it in the upcoming days. I've been...

Lets call this one complete! The weather cooperated a little this evening so I decided to snap a few crude pix with my phone... Yep! Back to my favorite fountain! My yard and flowerbeds look like crap so I made a stop at the local college campus and borrowed theirs... I'll get some...

Here are a couple other things added along with the Tick bars... I found another little skull style Blinder taillight. I swapped out the brake levers again for an all silver set. I have the same ones on another build and they work great. After trying a lot of different grips, I ended up...

Mine has been 99% finished for close to two weeks now. I just need to get out someplace and get some photos of it... Almost forgot to do that last year! :oops:

The small one looks a lot cleaner.

Here is the adapter installed on my bulidoff bike.

I use these hanger plates (claw) on my klunkers. http://www.amazon.com/SunRace-Shimano-Compatible-Index-Hanger/dp/B001PT8M8C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1404996228&sr=8-2&keywords=derailleur+claw They allow the use of better derailleurs without the claw adapters. On my pre-war frames, I drilled...

I think he makes some that are 34"-36" wide. Mine are 30's that he cut down to 28". They still have the nickles brazed on the ends. :cool: These things are about as bomb-proof as they come!

The bike has been enjoying the attention and money being spent on shiny new goodies for it lately. The other night it decided to repay me the only way it knows how.... By breaking something... :blackeye: The saddle was super nice except for a couple small stress cracks up by the nose. I...

Once again, I find myself using the talents of others that I met on social media to improve the quality of my build. :rolleyes: I went and ordered a set of Mr. Tick bars. They arrived last week! They are a high quality product and he even made a custom width for me. The next step was to get...

So, I've been pretty busy with other projects but found some time to ride the bike. I'm still picking up little things to make the build better and/or more practical. I ride after work and get stuck out after dark from time to time. I had Knog Blinders on my last build-off bike and liked them...

Nice rider. Too new to be collectible. If you like it, hang on to it. If not, someone else will enjoy it for sure! I don't remember what these ran when they were new. $270 maybe?

You got a great deal! I completely forgot about the Thursday cruise-in. I usually make it to those...

These were great bikes! BMX made a brief comeback in our area in the late 90's and we sold a pile of Super Stocks, Pro Stocks, and Predators. They were a good value at the time. It was a fun time to be a Schwinn dealer. I have an NOS Super Stock 1 in the gold/anti-freeze color. It's a real sharp...

Yep. Pre-Pacific/Doral Schwinn for sure and $360 new sounds about right. We sold lots of these... Nice comfy rider!

I like the reflection thing too. :113: Here I tried one with a cheap cell phone and my RRBO#7 bike...
