    Wild Bill-DONE

    Walmart FatBikes?

    it looks like its SUN made. Could be the twin to my Spyder AT that cost 700. Only difference is mine has a 2 speed kicker. If I had seen this thread, I wouldn't have bought mine. The bars are comfy. The bike is fine. I ordered a set of Avid BB7 disc brakes for the front. Its coaster is fine on...

    Wild Bill-DONE

    Re: Wild Bill- sand, fill, repeat easy sanding filler usually doesn't hold up well to flexy areas. I would have done the first coat in something like duraglass. Just my experienced opinion. Hope im wrong, seeing how much work you put into it. Maybe assemble it, ride it, and make sure ya don't...

    found 2bikes on CL last night. One was for sale for 50, I got there, and saw a skip-toothed mans bike, fair condition. Snyder built? I got it for 30. looks like it HAD a Beehive springer at one time. Anyone with parts to complete this? then I traveled south to Connelsville and got the...

    RaTTle Can tutorial

    If the paint you are using is lacquer, the white cast is called "blushing". It comes from humidity. Ya got to slow down the dry time. I add retarder to the clear. There used to be a clear spray-bomb that Pep Boys sold,called High-Performance Clear that smelled of retarder, flowed like...

    Rack question

    Re: Rack question no..bent. Lay it flat, stand on the ends. Tap the sides. It will flatten out. The offset bends absorb the flex. It should be on a flat plane,honest..... Use a set of sheet metal duck-billed visegrips. They come in handy straightening fender edges,too.
