Here is my entry for the build off. It is a 1974 Schwinn Typhoon that was given to me by my wife’s family about 14 years ago. They purchased it brand new and rode it until everybody moved out of the house. It had been stored in their barn, so it was in good shape, but very dirty. When I...

What a rotten April Fools joke.

Crap! My order was cancelled too.

For $7.50, I had to buy a set. Now I need a project to put them on.

I'm always jealous of the plentiful supply of cool old bike everywhere except for where I live. I wish that I had access to only a fraction of what you all are able to score. That was until tonight. I saw this ad tonight and I think that it is going to be the best deal that I can get to for...

This probably sounds completely crazy and stupid, but you may want to try it. I saw it on an old truck website, and it has worked for me several times. If you try it, take it easy, do not force things and if it still doesn't work, you will not be out anything for trying. There are many...

I think that is the coolest finish on a bike that I have ever seen. I am also interested in how you accomplished the finish. Is it paint or rust?

After seeing all of the Burritos on this site, it has made me want to try and build one of my own. This is similar to the bike that I started with, but I pulled mine from the dumpster. I'm using the front wheel on another bike, the shock was used on my Sledgehammer build, and the handlebars...

You know, there's, like, a buttload of jumps at the school. I could get, like, three feet of air anytime. Eventhough I'm pretty good with a bike, I'd rather not hurt my taint!

My neighbor dispatches dumpsters and one day I saw that somebody had tossed two 24" bikes. I pulled them out and took them down to my basement. One was a full suspension Mongoose that was pretty well trashed and the other was a Roadmaster. At first, I didn't know what to do with them and then...

This one is rideable, I took videos of me riding it this week. I think that I may have messed up the angle at which the skateboard trucks are mounted (too much positive caster) so it doesn't turn as well as the smaller ones I had in the past. There are a couple of pictures of the smaller one...

I think that my whole problem is that I was deprived as a child. My mom wouldn't buy me a bike, other than one in pre-school that was destroyed before kindergarten. I saved all of my money and bought a Schwinn Sprint when I was 13. I rode that bike everywhere and I polished the snot out of...
