20" of awesome is finished! First time I've made it to a RRBBO finishline. Show some 20" love fellahs! The build thread: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=56793&st=0&sk=t&sd=a -We started with a 50's 20" Stelber bike. $5 -Made a custom springer out of a silver serving tray...

And the count down begins. I figured I' take this last weekend and finish the bike, but wouldn't you guess it? I decided to pass a kidneystone over the last few days, and it hasn't passed yet! It is like it hurts like a SOB then settles for a bit, then starts movin again and hurting. But today...

Could also be a haro MTB? They made them in the late 80's. They even made a 20" geared MTB.

Youth, I think what you have here is a mongoose stylist not a decade. Only made for one year, and is basically the entry level decade. It came with these cranks, these mags and had one set of peg bosses on the fork rather than 2 like the decade...

Re: '83 Sidewinder Nice and beefy! I like it!

Re: Some odd ones- Muscle goodness, roadies It is a possibility, I really want it, but figure it is worth some cash by itself. I won't know till I get my hands on it in Dec. But I am told there are no tears. :D

Re: Some odd ones- Muscle goodness, roadies Thanks! I am dying to get out there and see them, but a 16 hr drive! I think I can wait. Interestingly someone cane to buy the Fuji today an hour after it was listed. But instead they bought the Motobecane that needs work. That was OK with me because...

Edit- cleaned this up and added before and after pics below! So my sis-in law, 1000 miles away in IN, picked up these 3 bikes for me at a farm sale. She paid 5 bucks for all 3!! These are the only photos I have, but wondered if the experts could ID them by these. I won't get to see these bikes...

I sold a '84-85 Peugeot city express for $150 last week. I'd say in close to the same condition. It sold really fast though!

Heya Myke! Nice score here! I am far from an expert, so don't take my word for gospell, but I've been looking at pictures all morning. And will do some speculating. Is there a letter at the beginning of the serial? Sometimes an M? From what I have read, there is a letter, then the first digit...

Congrats! There are still scores in the NE! Nice bike.

Had this in fresh finds but wanted it here before I forget! Best flea market score EVER for me! Got a sweet deal on it. I could not believe it when I saw it. I didn't have enough cash and had to leave it to find an ATM. The drive back was maddening, I was sure it was gone. Every grandma in the...

Re: 1984 Haro Sport Just read the specs on the original 84 Haro Sport, and this bike is all original down to the one rear brake, blue cable, ACS Z-rims, and it came stock with the Sun Coaster brake. The internet is so informative. Having a coaster brake and a caliper brake seem a bit...

Re: 1985 Haro Sport Did some digging and it looks like this is an 84, third gen. Not 85 as I'd thought. I did not know that about freestyle guys runnin coaster brakes! That makes sense since so much about this bike looks untouched since the 80's. I am usually 2 steps behind on deals like...

Best flea market score EVER for me! Got it for a song. I could not believe it when I saw it. I didn't have enough cash and had to leave it to find an ATM. The drive back was maddening, I was sure it was gone. Every grandma in the world was driving in front of me. ARRRGH!!! But there it was when...

It was $25, which seemed like a lot for goodwill, BUT it was a yellow tag, and guess what, it was 1/2 off yellow tag day. Sweetness. Thought about trading it to my LBS for something. It'd make a killer laptop table too. But it is so neat I don't think I can get rid of it.

You might be right. Looks like they sell for $25-$35 bucks for the only two I saw in completed listings on Ebay. I need to get back over there.

Sweet. Love th Rob Roskopp sticker. I had the Roskopp deck with the full monster face.

That is totally what it is! Thanks! Allrighty nothing too special there so I don't feel bad for not getting it.

So I was hunting Goodwill for bike goodies and ran across this bit of coolness. At first I thought it was a music stand someone slapped a Diamond Back sticker on. But then there was this DB catalog attached to the surface and I instantly got that this was a store display. But keep reading it...
