    First Ride in 50+ years: 2023 Update

    Good to see you guys are getting out.That sundae your FIL had was quite something,He would have to ride 10 miles to work those calories off. I love the smile when He gets his DQ fix . My Dad was the same way . When my Son's were young they would make him his sundaes at home. Mostly Hershey's...

    I was just made aware of this ebay link(thanks Scott). They list them as Germany,but you can see they are stamped Belgium like mine. I will take a good look at mine tomorrow.

    What are two things you never have enough of when doing builds?

    I never have enough tires.I should say good tires,I have plenty of tires that hold a tube but I would not trust going down the road. I have at 10 bare wheels hanging on the wall right now.

    Fake vintage...Old and newer,my first BMX build.

    Thanks Funny you mention those bars. I picked up a few pair of them,at the time I had no interest in BMX but I liked the looks of them. I figured I could use them on just about anything. I picked up a bunch of the Murray pad sets and some seats at the same time just in case any of the local...

    Fake vintage...Old and newer,my first BMX build.

    Through a trade I ended up with a GT/Dyno(maybe fake) frame,crank,etc .I had pieces and parts already and decided to build a mutt. I have never messed with BMX before.Always liked them but had never spent much time on BMX. It is not vintage but some parts are.1980s Wald bars,Murray pads, and...

    GT or Dyno or ? Please help ID this BMX bicycle...

    Thanks guys. Yes,there are no stamps at all. I thought it may have been a GT because of the crank,but no GT stamp anywhere . It is now a fully functional BMX bike . Nothing special but somebody can use it now. I put some NOS 1980s stuff on it for fun.Bars,Pads,seat. Some local kid should enjoy it.

    GT or Dyno or ? Please help ID this BMX bicycle...

    Good point,I never gave that a thought. I am guessing quality BMX bikes don't come with either ?

    GT or Dyno or ? Please help ID this BMX bicycle...

    Excellent info,thanks guys.After I cleaned the stem up some it is indeed GT/Dyno,Dyno enrgraved on the top and the stem is stamped GT. I really like that decal Luke,I will have to search the web to see if they are offered for sale.

    GT or Dyno or ? Please help ID this BMX bicycle...

    0 I know very little of BMX,which will be evident soon. I received this bike in a trade deal . Could anyone tell me what the frame is ? I took pics of the joints/welds and the serial number,hope that helps. It was described as an aluminum GT . The crank is GT,but the stem is Dyno labeled . The...

    +1 Luke I have it set up to notify me by email when there is a new post,somehow I missed a few. I was just thinking of this when my wife told me our local DQ is open for the season . Glad to see him grinning over his ice cream again . That glove trick is funny, something my Dad would do . You...

    what kind of tube to weld frames?

    If you decide to go the route of an OCC build I may have some stuff that might interest you. I have a frame that is trashed,I could cut the bottom bracket shell and headtube from it . I also have the wheels,etc. Most of the parts are there . These parts have some rust, etc...not perfect. Just a...

    1960 Schwinn Continental Sports Touring W/Suicide shifter

    Very cool,I have never seen that front derailleur in person. From the pics I have seen it looks like a very simple design. I would like to find one someday.
