    I don't know that I would be so quick to throw it on FEEBAY. You need to do some research. If you sell the bike on ebay for say $10,000 your Ebay and PayPal fees will be around $1,000 10% to ebay and 3% to PayPal and that does not include the listing fees. If you put a reserve on it it will...

    Shipping a bike

    Does anyone else ever use Bikeflights? I have shipped several bikes from Alabama to California for $65 - $80 A lot of times if you go through Fed Ex and use a full bicycle box it's going to cost a lot. But if you cut just a few inches off the length of the box it drops the price nearly in half...

    Schwinn Trike

    It took me over an hour to get the rear rims off the axle. It's no joke but they will come off. Just be sure to remove the pin. JKent

    Mike Wolfe of American Pickers & FELT Bicycles create the "Red Wolfe" Bike

    You would think as old school as Mike is, That he would have gone to Indian or Harley to come up with a new bike design. I would like to have seen that more so than the Felt. I mean Indian has started making motorcycles again and HD has really never stopped. So I would really liked to have seen...

    Schwinn Trike

    I am in the process of doing a swap right now. The problem I have ran into is the hubs. The hubs that are on the bike, which are specific to the Trike is, they are 28 hole hubs. And trying to find a 28 hole 26" rim has become impossible. You might be able to find a 28 hole 24 " rim for a balloon...

    Seat post is seized

    This is the way I get a stuck seat post out. Spray pb blaster on it let it sit for a few minutes. Flip the bike frame upside down and clamp the seat post in a vice. I have a big heavy 40 or 50 lbs. vice. And use the frame for leverage and pull up and twist the seat tube back and forth to loosen...

    Pricey

    Sorry it's 6:00 a.m. here and I don't have pictures of mine but I have a 100lbs. Vise anvil that I use. I bout it 4 years ago on a pick and I just about had to dig it out of the ground.
