Man I've really enjoyed watching this thread. The bike came out great and the headbadge design is spot on. Looks like something id hang in my tiki room. Great job bike bum

I want to say that bike was in the ol skool rodz magazine back in 2009/2010..I have that magazine somewhere. I was stoked on it still stoked today. Way kool bike.

Thankyou gentleman yes I did get it figured out. I spent a lil money trying to figure it out lol but it's all good now. So yea 2.0 were too tight 1.95 fit the rear but snug in the front 1.75 was a perfect fit. Not even 10 minutes after I finished putting the bike together I got an offer i...

Yea I'm officially an ...... Simple as removing the cinch bolt on the neck and sliding the crossbrace through it. In my defense I have a cold and the 4 or five glasses of whiskey I've had so far fighting this cold off I'm sure added to the stupidity lol. Problem solved. I'll leave this thread up...

ok dumb question but I need to know. I bought a repop prewar crossbrace handlebar off ebay. How the heck do I take the crossbar off so I can mount it?

so ive become known as the bike guy in my neighborhood and i guess all the free tuneup help to the local kids my good deeds paid off. the father of one of my daughters friends hooked me up with these two finds. i believe one to be a womans spaceliner and the other is a 1941 mens skiptooth...

But couldn't you just get a micargi with the same set up for $350-$375?? I'm a classic bike guy I don't know much about these but the bike club guys I know all ride stretches and they seem to get their ol skool Dynos and newer micargis in the $200-$375 range.

So basically if I want to keep the fenders on (which I do cause it's all original paint) it sounds like I will need to run 1.75 tires. Does anyone know what wheel company columbia used in 1957 for a middleweight straight bar?

Oops my bad 26x1 3/4..... But isn't 1.75 the same thing lol

Thankyou gentleman. Luckily I just scored a ladies schwinn from the 50s for $30 here in vegas with nice 26x1.75 tires on it so now I have both sizes to mess with.

i just bought the 57 columbia frame setup from tanksalot and I guess it's a middleweight. I collect balloon tires and am a lil uneducated on the middleweights. My question is I guess the bike takes a 26x1.75 tire. I was wondering if I could run a kenda k130 tire. It's a 26x2.125 tire but I've...

Those are kool man. It's got me thinking now on what bike I could get away with throwing something like those on.

Where did you find those fender ornaments?? Those are rad

I know exactly what bike you bought. Way kool set up you got, if I'm correct your bike has the beehive springer on it if it's the one I'm thinking of. if you got questions this is the place to ask em, some of the dudes on here are awesome with what they can do and if you ask for help you...

I was voted parent volunteer of the year 2 years in a row at my kids skool, member of the pta (got 90% of my body tattooed and 7 tattoos on my face imagine what the soccer moms thought when I first started lol) and I volunteer for the clark county museum. I get to set up old houses from the 20s...

I'm curious, I was raised in riverside ca now living in Las Vegas I've been to the snow twice. Is it hard to ride a bike in snow? way kool pics man. Not something I see on my side of the country.

I don't like messing with American workmanship but I had to cut haha I was afraid I was gonna bend my axel. Truthfully I measured it out and cut it flush with the mounting hole so there was an almost straight insert to where the hole was and it sits in there perfectly no adjusting or nothing.

Hahaha I knew I set myself up on that one lol :) :) :) im sure there's some kool bikes out here but I'm sure I'll see big foot shooting dice at the casino before I see any for sale lol

Lemme rephrase my comment cause I made a bold claim, I bring some of the oldest original paint bikes to the cl market lol. I'm sure somewhere out here in the land of crackheads and hookers there's some old bikes lol

In vegas there's frames that sit there for months. Currently on the Las Vegas cl there's 4 vintage bikes of merit with 2 of mine being the oldest and nicer looking ones. I'd say in the last year alone outa the 10-12 bikes I've bought 3 of them were local one of which I bought then sold then...
