    Transition Klunker

    Apparently you can get these much cheaper if you steal one from my garage, or atleast someone thought so. Nothing says welcome to the neighbor hood like having your bike stolen. Atleast they didn't take my BMX or vintage collections. Much more valuable to me than a bike I could replace. I...

    I just got one of those racks on a bike. Anyone know what it is? Did they make a similar front carrier?

    Tejas Ranger

    I wouldn't say yuck, I like it. Even better if you get some new forks and a 26 on the front.

    Home Powder coat Trial

    Anyone ever try to powder coat in a propane vertical smoker? I know open flame and powder don't work so well together but I will be using it outside so if it blows up no loss.

    1978 Team Rampar

    I have no idea what it is worth, I am thinking I will let the market set the price as I already have low bids on ebay. I might trade for a old balloon tire bike but I am not sure how I feel about ending an auction that has bids to trade... I got it so cheap I am ashamed to say. The...

    the ISLANDER,...Schwinn Cal Cruiser

    If you decide not to change that bike I have a set of gold KKT lightning pedals that would be perfect for it except they are 9/16. They could be yours for the low low price of a new pair of orange vp-747 bear claws. Message me if you ar interested.

    MiniPixieRay (Out Riding Around)

    Re: MiniPixieRay (Dropout Extensions Done) I think the forks are very much like the forks on the big brother. I would paint them red and you'd have a good match.
