    Roll - twice as fast

    That tandem has been to Burningman (based on the white sticker). Looks like it was washed down before the chain and other parts rusted heavily. Get a more appropriate fork, and you will be styling.

    My "new" bikes found July 26- worksman and pile of 1960s rust

    Sunday morning acquired this Worksman tank err, I mean cargo trike. 2 Jacksons. Tubeless tires, this thing is heavy. Someone bolted a kiddie bike seat to the lid of the storage box to tote their aspiring monarch around town. Then in the afternoon, spotted these on Craigslist: Murray built...

    unique 1980s Taiwan Beach Cruiser: "Beach Monster" by Galaxy

    Thus far, I replaced the sad mt. bike tires for shiny new white walls, and removed the fugly rear rack and removed the decaying foam handlebar material. I will probably get a rear fender for it, otherwise it rides smoothly.

    unique 1980s Taiwan Beach Cruiser: "Beach Monster" by Galaxy

    Nope, it is within regular geometry for a beach cruiser. The frame looks off because the curved steel top bars have that kink in them for whatever reason made sense at the factory 30 years ago.

    unique 1980s Taiwan Beach Cruiser: "Beach Monster" by Galaxy

    Yeah, I thought it was just a Malibu hopper family bike that someone had painted turquoise and put a piece of cardboard as a tank plate. When I actually picked it up, I was surprised to see the tank plate was a welded piece of steel and the white signs were stickers matching the chainguard. Not...

    modern wide rear bike frame ?

    I picked up this bike project from a storage locker sale. It is a modern cruiser frame, that looks to be aluminum. The rear wheel well is extra wide, able to easily handle a 26", 3"+ inch wide tire. I could use another one for another project, but would like to know what make/model to ask for...

    ~TURLOCK * BIG NOR~CAL EVENT~

    I went Sunday morning.. front row parking and $5 admission. Picked up a few fair deals, but most bikes left were being offered by people who follow the "If it is a Schwinn, it must be worth hundreds of dollars" school of bike pricing.

    I just picked one of these up at a yard sale. It basically a small 5 speed mt bike with 20" wheels. A decent bike for kids. The shifter/speedometer is a cool accessory (that I'll probably end up selling)

    Got this off Craig's list. Its an 1980s Taiwan frame, but I don't recall every seeing this style frame. It has a headsticker "Bike Brokers" and the model is "Key West". I put some new tires on it, and it trucks along just fine.
