Well, I guess I gotta call old english done since I no longer have it. Ive been fixing bikes for the local field workers and homeless out of my garage for a while. Last night a guy came by and his bike was beyond help. So I put a flat bar and a different seat on it and removed the rear rack...

Today while finishing a complete garage makeover, I stripped an Easy Racer recumbent that I picked up a while back. It was left out in the rain and needs too much for me to overhaul it and it also took up a lot of space. So I stripped it for parts for other bikes and an evil thought came to...

I have no use for it, it needs to be straightened. Dont know if id trust a child in it but maybe a stuffed teddy bear

this is not my build off bike but it was pieced together in my garage today. Im always making bikes. I just clocked 39 mph on level ground on it

Yes, I got the Raleigh, unfortunately there is only one of the wing nuts and its metric. If someone can use it, they can have it

Yay, more parts. I brought home this 27 inch raleigh record for a future English trike project. I didnt know it was 27 inch but thats ok, it will give it more of a chopper rake. Anyways, as I was stripping it, I tried the front brake on the phillips and it works. Front is a center pull and...

Im going to head out in the garage for some shop time today. Since this bike is too far gone and unfeasible to restore to original, I think Im going to strip it and save the frame and any useable parts for another day. I have some interesting ideas for it but probably the most realistic thing...

The more I look into a schwinn build I want to go a different direction That I dont have the parts or money for. So Im going to leave the Phillips as is and call it done Unless I can get a front brake for it. It makes a great local errand bike and it gets some interesting looks. People look at...

I saw that page and started look8ng deeper at the bike. It was completely chemically stripped except under the headbadge. It was a beautiful red. Hub is a 55 so Im wondering if it was the original wheel set. Also bars look different than the catalog shows so it may have been ratrodded decades...

I cleaned off the left rear and pulled up the serial number. Its a 1953 Welterweight with a sturmey archer 3 speed. Im not sure whats original paint and what is added spray paint. Gonna have to take my time with it

I ran to the store twice with it so far. Its been great Bike I would consider finished but I just scored a different bike and might need to swap parts onto this on. Not really sure what schwinn it is but ive never seen one like it

I went to see a Raleigh and spotted this schwinn. Never seen anything like it so I got it. Is it worth anything?

The Money Shot. Only had enough for twelve but it can haul 3 of these. All of my bikes are built with a purpose in mind. This one will definitely be used for grocery runs and I wont worry about finding a stray shopping cart slammed into it

According to my calculations, I can carry 45 beers on this bike. Since they wont let me drink 3 in front of the store, I might have to try with 3 12 packs. Oh yeah, changed the stem and bars and it fits me a lot better. Not really sure what else I want to do with it except go get beer. It...

The tires came off one of my road bikes when a pinch flat broke one of the wire strands inside. Theres a lot of duct tape in there so it doesnt pop any more tubes. Its either these or black and blue tires, i like these better

Today I added the baskets and made a run to the mailbox. Handlebars are too close for me. I have to dig through and see what else I have

I like the fenders but I dont have any metal ones to fit. My goal has been to build it out of what I have here.

I played with it a little more. I didnt have any other brakes so drilled the brake bridge and put the rear on. Then I just drilled the back of the fork but my front brake isnt long enough. I still need to repack the headset and come up with cable straps. Im already thinking its going to be a...

Aahh haaa, made Mucho Progress today. Got the rotted bottom bracket out that was full of sand and put in a sealed cartridge out of the fixie that the wheels came from. Drive train is complete. Tried the pump out too. It fits but then it covers up the shield and the Made in England decals...

It brutally windy today so my ride was cut short. Did some digging in the garage and found the seat I was looking for along with a rack I might use. I also spotted a Raleigh frameset I buried and forgot about. I will have to move a bunch of stuff to dig it out but the headset looks nice. I...
