I never regret what I buy... I always regret what I should have but didn't buy! Nice Tire!

What diameter wheels were used for the wheelie wheels? Were they skateboard sized wheels?

Definitely the rail! That's what I got, a purple 5 speed, on my 10th birthday

What kind of hub is it? It looks like a Shimano sprocket. Is it a Bendix hub? I bet those raised sections on the sprocket won't let the ring seat properly. If all else fails try grinding them off with a dremel tool..

Your name has become synonymous with rusty bike!

Great show! I haven't been there in about 10 years. I'd love to go back again but I spend too much $ there...

Glad to hear that you are doing well. I also got a gift on Valentine's day but mine was one that I didn't really want. I ended up in the ER too but was there because I ended up with "transient global amnesia". I never even heard of the term until the next day. I have no recollection of...

Raleigh Rampar

No doubt a great loss.. Bar None, the best tools ever made for a cyclist and the hobby .

Hey madsapper you gotta pic of the parts you have for sale ?

It's funny, Choppers have never really "caught on" as a desirable collectible bike here in the states. Yeah, there is a small following and most bike collectors know enough to pick up Choppers when they see them reasonably priced but they do not command the prices other bikes of the same...

Broken seat stays are pretty common. They also break around the support plate at the top of the seat tube (the plate welds break away from the seat tube). Most of the hard parts are there except the chain guard but those are reproduced. If you ever part it out, I would be interested in some of...

Nice find! For sale? It looks like a 71 or 72. Five speeds are not "rare" but they are not as "common" as the three speed version. The" holy grail" Chopper is the ten speed....

I've got nothing against a 24". I own two that I plan to build customs out of. Maybe there will be a renaissance for 24" bikes when a few guys build them. Like others have stated, the frames are a little small for the average sized adult, that's why I'll be stretching my 24" frames about 4 inches..

That chainguard on the automoto is beautiful...

I can imagine your disappointment. I love those bikes and was patiently following this build, excitement and jealousy building. What a letdown for me, and it's your project!

3 1/2 hours away... This is definitely a maybe...

Kingsting here on the forum also collects bottle caps... We are a strange bunch..

Yes, the cars. I've owned over 30, 68-70 AMX's and countless numbers of Javelin's. As far as the bottle caps go, I probably have about 20 or 30 different Old Style bottle caps in my collection. Below is a sample of some better bottle caps. Yes, there are some valuable bottle caps, at least to...

I collect US beer bottle caps, I have about 14,000 different in my collection. I also collect AMC cars, I own a 70 AMX & a 71 SC/360 Hornet.......
