ok, nothing like coming in under the wire. finished assembly today. bmx bars/gooseneck just didn't work so i scrapped that idea and went with set i got on the craigslist worksman. original owner drilled seat for lightness? so i went for a ride in the neighborhood, and am very happy with the...

i've got a pair of those pedals that i don't need.... came on a raleigh nx7 cruiser i got on craigslist.

that is a great paint job. the design and colors are fantastic. you are a true craftsman.

i think i'm gonna make it! had a little issue w/ paint on frame, but looks like i may pull of a save. may not get to clear coat though. while clear coating a test part, covers well, but when spraying one part, overspray gets where i've already painted and finish is no longer smooth there??? was...

just bought one myself last week for parts. did not know what it was, till someone here helped out. didn't get as good a deal as you, but i like it a lot and look forward to that build.

so dad invites me to lunch tues, and i'm thinking to ask him to look for a mountain bike as my son has appropriated mine, and my dad is known as a man who can get things from time to time. so he pulls in with a bike on his rack. i figure he's been on a ride. no, it's for me! a diamondback...

Re: ★★★ THE BATTLECRUISER ★★★ (06-14) i really like that look. thanks for posting pics of stencils, nice to see how it's done. got a future project schwinn straightbar.

it was sold to me as a '58 hiway patrol. btw, your bike looks sharp, similar to style i'm going for, nice paint job, hope mine comes out like that. the rear hub fit with only minor stretching of frame, previous owner must have done that. really like the chrome bmx fork, but it seemed heavy...

ok, corney name, but i've not enough imagination, and this bike will specifically be a boardwalk cruiser, so... i bought this columbia middleweight frame from a board member a few months ago and have been collecting parts for it since. object is to build a lightweight bike that will handle...

i don't see a problem, any bike up for grabs there is yours, no competition 8)

did you kiss him before he left? j/k great score!

that pic of the wife catches it perfectly, no words needed, however the acompanying words..... :shock: my wife has seen several "freebies" first hand, so that old rusty stuff gets by with few questions :mrgreen:

that racer is TIGHT! i must find one......

looks like a lockplate/ring. goes between threaded upper bearing seat and top nut. if you can get proper adjustment and lock the seat with the top nut, you don't need it.

BRAVO!!!!!! that is amazing :!:
