See there? that's unbelievable. I heard about the Home Depot thing...its at Lowe's too...different suppliers filling up shipping space on their trucks I'd like to support my local bike shop....no , waitaminit...actually NOT I wandered in there about a yr. ago ... got a chain for a mtn...

probably a bunch of different suppliers...keeps the fleet neat without having to pay twice the cost at my LBS, just because they're so cool over there. lol.

Huffy Cranberry 26 inch motorize bike - $375 (Melbourne) http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/bik/5961679706.html I think this might be the limited edition Cranbrook signed by Chuck Berry, I'm not sure though. :happy:

are you sure about that? :bigsmile:

I just started getting some parts through Home Depot online.... Not sure if this is the best well kept secret, but I betcha somebody's gonna find this interesting :happy...

My God, that's brutal. Still, I notice there's a lot of bike people in Michigan, and in the U.P., which actually surprised me.... Not gonna let a little thing like a 15' snowdrift keep you from a nice leisurely ride. :13: "now...where did I leave my bike..oh, there it is."

Yes, all true. Of course the bike fix and sell business is mostly about reading the customer....Most ladies I sell to don't care even one bit if it's a 'vintage' bike. 9 times out of 10 they won't even ask what brand of bike it is. If it rolls nice, looks good, or would be nice for one of...

I'll basically ride anything that I fix up and get it rollin' But, it does seem like I prefer to ride on step thru frames rather than mens bikes, for some reason One of my favorite get around bikes was an old rusty white beat womans three speed that I converted into a single speed. That was a...

Hearty stock, you Yoopers. Believe me, I know..back when I was a young man, I built a house in the middle of the woods in the middle of 26 acres in the middle of Maine. Wood heat was my only system....two wood stoves. 6 cords of wood I cut split stacked every winter for 9 years. My bathroom...

Long Tale Long-bike Home Build by Franco Novo

-7 degrees..you've got to be kidding me? just don't lick the fenders. :bigsmile:

Good for you...That's a cool setup for sure. I like it :thumbsup: Good reminder that I need to stop wrenching on them all the time and start 'riding' them more. franco

Nice looking bike, Goose. :thumbsup: franco

Looks nice what did you use to clear coat it with? franco

Well, my friend , I've only been involved in two 'build offs' but I must answer with a resounding ...YES. When the last day is finally here...and the clock is ticking down...then the build is done..... ......for the time being. :grin: franco

___________________________________________ Good luck Luke. How's the luck selling on the local Facebook pages?...are these bike groups specifically, or general sell anything like Offer up...or Craigslist? just curious. It was great to see this one go from conception , to all of the...

This was really just a little 'aside' project, because sometimes, the mind wanders. :doh: Shouldn't even be messin with it since I have 3 bikes to fix up for customers. sheeeesh. But, someone threw this Huffy mtn bike at me...which was originally just stickers and rust. I planned to do a...

That IS a super duper paint job right there, I'll tell ya. :thumbsup: Since I've read up on and seen some posts about the 2K clear, it sounds pretty toxic....you need basically a hazmat suit to apply it..so I'm not goin' there....mostly because I do have asthma...I'd probably need a nebulizer...

Yeah, I think any bike is worth saving, considering we have more poor folk in this country than most people realize...people who can't even come up with 20 bucks for a clean refurbished bike for their child at Holiday time. And, here in Florida...(I'm sure it's the same just 'bout...
