Thanks. It was a $35 craigslist bike. The Araya 7x 26x1.75 wheels have been redished for SS with wide tires and are going on my '97 Kona AA. The head tube is 1" threaded. And I have the matching lugged Tange fork. Only issue with dropping to 24" wheels would be finding the correct brake...

One of my main concerns with bike size is standover height. I like a long slack geo, but don't like a high standover height. A lot of older steel mountain bike frames that are my size have a high standover. So they feel more like a stretched road bike to me, than something I'm comfortable...

Awesome! Great job on the lettering. I have a 26" canti frame I've been wanting to Scramblize. No Ashtabula stem(in black) or forks(except for lightweight, which wouldn't fit wide 26" tires.). And I'd probably use a different bend black bars. And a homemade seat and sissy bar. So mine would be...

You could always offer less. I once read that the majority of sellers of used goods would sell for 2/3 their asking price. Cash in hand is a strong persuader.

Holy cow! I feel much better about my fifteen chainsaws now:D ……..or was it seventeen:wondering:

Still looks great. Thinkin about goin 8-speed 700c on my klunkruiser if I don't have to bend and cut too much stuff to fit some 47 or so mm tires.

I don't know. Just thought that between the maze of bungees I saw something that might resemble a rusty crack along the weld.

I'm guessing that top tube is broke at the weld on the head tube.

Looks great! I like the looks of those Redline Flight cranks also. And the bottom bracket option that goes with them is fairly reasonable. But because I'm cheap, I'd probably buy a square taper sealed bottom bracket and use some forged aluminum Shimano 3-piece crank and chainring that I already...

Those Worksman bikes look great too. But I'm trending towards lightweights for future builds at the moment.

Yeah they had three bikes that I just kinda glanced at. The BMX style stem might've been on a different bike than the one with the Alexrims. Now I feel like I have to go back by there just to see what was what. I think one was 120, one was 69, and the other might've been 180 or 200. It might've...

I looked at a bike at the pawn shop yesterday that had those same wheels as on that Monocog. Same high flange hubs and Alexrims. And I think the same stem too. Seems like it was a hundred and twenty bucks. Or that might've been the one they had marked down to $69. I can't remember what kind of...

That's just the asking price. I'd probably look for a less used bike for that money though. There's lots of people who buy expensive bikes and then rarely ride them. Somebody that starts talking about "seasons" has probably been fairly abusive to the bike. And once one part goes, there's a...

I bought mine for the kickback hub. The bike looked barely used, so lots of good parts. But thought there was no use for the frame. The right tools open a lot of doors.

Sweeeeet...I got one'a those! Been wonderin what to do with it.......gotta get a welder

Now considering a 1" supported layback seatpost that would possibly allow me to use the snowboard with no rear supports. Or I think I have some stainless steel folding boat canopy stuff around somewhere.

Small update on the cafe' racer build. Here's my seat and support material options so far, on what will likely be a very short cafe' racer style "banana seat". Mostly flat with just a touch of lift at the back. The adjustable aluminum struts are from this contraption. They are about 9/16"...

Two out of three is the rule. I started three bikes in this class. One I've already kinda dropped out. Unless I get a welder and completely change directions with it. Just lost interest in building an ordinary ladies muscle bike. But there's still plenty of time for a reconfiguration and name...

Ha!...no. So far the only one with anything close to sentimental value is the little Stihl 009L that I've had for 20 or so years. But it's all just stuff. Most were just bought because I stumbled across them for so cheap that I thought it wasn't a terrible idea to bring them home. I plan to...

I have an embarrassingly large collection of chainsaws. Here's a little sample Smallest Largest Oldest- this is a ten dollar saw that I bought with the intention of powering a bicycle with it. Piston and cylinder are pristine. Garage art Most popular among chainsaw aficionados Couple of...
