    The stupid, ugly, messed up bikes thread.

    Selling/Trading During the Pandemic

    I've done great selling during the pandemic, the bike shortage hit my area hard. I'm om track to sell well over 35 this year (and about a dozen non bike things). I'm in an extremely low risk age group so I ask the buyer ahead of time if they want me to wear a mask, the answer 90% of the time is...

    The seller inherited these, wasn’t into bikes and when I explained the value of some of this stuff and made an offer, he was very, very happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This ugly green bike is a Schwinn aerocycle!! Someone did a bad repaint to a strange color, but luckily left the chrome as is. I plan on unrestroying it with clay tires and fake patina red to make this more obviously an aerocycle. Hopefully I have the tank in a box somewhere, if not there’s...

    I had kind of gone MIA from this site for a few months, I worked for the census and I didn’t have much time for hobbies. This storage unit of 38 bikes and pile of parts found me recently, I plan on selling 99% of it once I sort it all out. The neat thing about this western flyer...

    Fever Dream

    When it’s too hot to ride a bike in Phoenix and my hands are idle I get some weird ideas. So I sold my Hawthorne Twin Bar the other day. The guy has all the correct parts for it and will do it justice, so I’ll be keeping my parts that I used to build it. I’ve had this other prewar that I think...

    BO15 Pee Wee’s Big Adventure Schwinn DX build!

    It’s mostly a 61 so it has the Edsel taillights and the 170 straight six. I picked it up at an impound auction a little over a year ago. What kind of comet do you have? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BO15 Pee Wee’s Big Adventure Schwinn DX build!

    Well I’m sorry for disappearing all this time, my local college had it’s abandoned bike sale, so did a nearby city. I’ve fixed and sold probably about a dozen or so bikes since the market is still hot around here. I’ve also got a full time job with the census so that will keep me busy for the...

    BO15 Pee Wee’s Big Adventure Schwinn DX build!

    I’m back! Sandman came through and gave me the skirts I need for this bike! I got my bars, seat and tires too. I picked my wheel set too, they’ll shine up nicely. Here are the skirts mocked up on my Elgin Jalopy just for fun The bike market has gone crazy where I live so most of my bike work...

    BO15 Pee Wee’s Big Adventure Schwinn DX build!

    Blasted the forks today! It was a slow but fun process. They’re ready for primer. The place I went for the light was closed because of the virus. No big deal, have one at home that I can modify to mount on a fender. Here’s a nice picture of the real thing since I’m kind of getting bogged down...

    Huffy Good Vibrations came with a persons seat, some with the nose spring and some without. Persons was around for a very long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BO15 Pee Wee’s Big Adventure Schwinn DX build!

    All the angles work together, the wheel fits and so will the fender on the springer fork perfectly despite a slight difference in the pivot point on the legs. PVC streamers have been ordered and will be here any day. Next will be wheels, then fender fitting and modification, then paint prep. I...
