This is looking mighty fine! Love deep fenders and the fender headlight. Just the right amount of crusty!

Wow! very tasteful, the monark fork looks great on the roadmaster frame. Awesome colour combo and really dig that rim profile I'd love to get my hands on one of these frames one day...

Awesome!!! more photos please!! Are the connections to the bike like 2 'hinge' type parts?

But there I go getting distracted :) I was just wondering about the history of the grey coloured grips

Yeah I can already get hold of re-pops, and I'm leaning towards the brown to match the leather saddle. Here are the grey ones: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VINTAGE-BICYCLE-BIKE-HANDLEBAR-RUBBER-GRAY-GRIPS-FOR-SHWINN-RALEIGH-NOS-/141697480582?hash=item20fdd3f786:g:JSUAAOSwLVZVhFBw The brown and...

So beautiful! Looks so new :) I had a sports for a while, I think it was a '72, but I just couldn't get comfortable on it even on the larger frame as the tt was too short for me. But now I have a DL-1 coming my way that should fit my freaky body better than a sports. I'm curious about the grey...

So with those original springers - I've seen quite a few builds on this site with them mounted backwards and I actually thought they must have been a different version or non-schwinn springer. I like the look and I have this type of springer waiting to use on a build - are there any drawbacks...

OK OK !! :rofl: Rustillica R.E.M = R.I.P. Simply Dead = Simply Red Deep Vein Thrombosis (deep purple) Simple Minds (simple minds) Erased (erasure) Stinky Matrons (spice girls)

Cool Luke, thanks Can't see why it wouldn't work. I'll take a trip to my recycling center and see what they've got

Hi all, I was thinking of getting some high rise bars and some racer drop bars to make a little welding marriage ceremony, y'know? Has anyone done anything like this before? Or maybe a thread I've missed? Cheers, Dave

Woohoo! Lookin' goood! :rockout: They totally look anodised but with the old school rim profile :dance2: Yeah I'm not sure either… but her arms are too short for the original bars! I got a good price on a 2nd hand 16" bike and a 'tagalong' bike yesterday - I figure she can ride them while her...

Hey thanks everyone! The wheels turned out waaay better than I imagined :happy: The first coupla coats were very pale - the can said 2 light coats followed by a 'wetting' coat. I bought this spray to do some 26" alloy rims, so it was good to practice and get great results! The sad news is the...

Sooooo, I had to take a long break from building after a year of family tragedies… :cry: I got this 20" wheel czechoslovakian kids bike about a year ago from a local recycling centre. It looked dirty and rusty but recoverable… actually it cleaned up pretty easily! This is for my girlfriends...

Today I had planned to do the welding needed on the monark forks (replace the bent steering tube) and weld seatpost tabs onto the seatpan - the originals had broken off, but I really needed to get the headboard out of the workshop. With my housemates help we sprayglued the new fabric on and...

I dunno how I did it but managed to find time between pulling out the saggy headlining from my Camry wagon, taking my daughter to the doctor and shopping for food for her birthday party. I love the results from a good alloy polishing sesh! These Changi Star levers are dead ringers for the...

I think you can all see where this is going... 8) In the image I've already replaced the stock pos parts with the alloy Araya 'dimple' rims I'll use, the awesome 'cafe racer' style seat that I'll strip and recover, cruiser bars and slingshot/wishbone stem. We don't get many curvy bar frames...

I laced sturmey hubs with 13g black stainless spokes I bought from an ebay seller, I have an x-fdd on the front and an x-rd8 on the back. I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of quality but these have been all good. The only thing is that the black finish is paint so be careful when you lace...

Well this has to be one of my favourite sites full of all kinds of inspiration and help. Every time I visit I see someone coming up with something cool and innovative! You guys rock!! I hail from Canberra, it's a little town of about 400,000, but I do see some awesome bikes around. A couple of...
