    The changing face of bike mechanics

I brought in 4 wheels and told the counter guy to call me with an estimate . He said ". He will be Mad cause he does not...

    Tire Fittment Question

    I don't know anyone who will take tires back because they Rub after you mounted them . I have seen several skinny bikes, love the look as long as Everything is Skinny. Fenders, Seat , Bars and even a skinny chain guard!

    Ann Arbor Custom Bike Show - April 24

    Thanks . A Guy told me about that one he said it was more Old bike friendly . But I also heard that they were asked to leave and not return with that show. Was it only for 3 hrs? That's a 3 hour drive for me to do a 3 hr show.

    Whats it worth?

    You are asking an Off the Wall Question. You already know what it is worth. It is so Rare how would anyone here know? Just put a price on it that you feel comfortable with and see if someone will pay you that amount. Good Luck on the sale. Its A Nice One.

    "Death rod" briggs powered Murray

    So, Let me understand this. You have a freewheel crank in it and a freewheel Sprocket on the rear. This allows the Engine to run and pull under power and the Your Crank with Pedals will also freewheel while engine is pulling. But can be used as a regular bike with engine non running. If so that...

    Lets Get Creative on Shipping.

    Greyhound wants it in a box or in a Bag. Naturally you would have to pad the stuff so it does not poke thru the box or bag. What happens is you drop it off at Greyhound and pick it up at Greyhound. They do not deliver to door. Many people use them because they take oversize stuff compared to...

    Garage sale Schwinn SCORE!

People were there at 6am, It was supposed to start at Eight. At the end of the day. He just filled up four trash...

    Lets Get Creative on Shipping.

    NO, I am not saying that things should be shipped for free. I am also not saying ANYTHING here to put one side against the other. This is not meant to be a Debate. I am trying to figure out the best way to ship things so that we all can get items delivered in this great country of ours. Things...

    what do you think?

    I would put a used chain on it and sell it as a rider. People want to get on it and ride it. I agree with cman... I would removed every negative word in the ad. It may not be the Holy Grail, you may not make a lot either selling whole or parting it. But treat it like it is the Holy Grail a cool...

    Lets Get Creative on Shipping.

    When I purchase anything, I figure in the total price. For example A kickstand , If the stand is Fifteen Dollars and Fifteen Dollars for Shipping. My mind says Thirty for the kickstand. I must decided if it is worth thirty more into my bike. If all of us are more Creative and know how to best...
