    The stripes are free

    The sissy bar is correct. Are you sure the chain has been put on correctly? It appears to me that it may not be on the derail arm as it should be...does it shift OK?...P 8)

    The stripes are free

    You may want to reconsider stripping it down &/or letting young sons ride it.I think you may have a fairly rare Murray-built Sears 5-speed Spyder in coppertone with the rare Troxel tiger-stripe seat in real good condition.I'm certainly no expert but I'd check in with Raleigh Ron,some of the...

    Cycle Trucks & Tanks, I just can't say No.

    Slugger...If you have never ridden with a set of rams,you'll be pleasantly surprised...I was the first time I rode with them.I always thought they looked really kool but I found they are also really comfortable.You can change hand positions several different ways to avoiding cramping...P 8)

    Cycle Trucks & Tanks, I just can't say No.

    Slugger...are you sure they are "off brand" rams? They don't appear to be spread wide like the Wald version.If they are Schwinn,they should be stamped in the center (where the goose neck clamps) "SCHWINN RAMSHORN"...just thought you'd like to know...P 8)

    Elgin Rat.

    You seem to be getting pretty good with that 20 year old saw...why not try making your own rear rack using the same wood you used to make your tank...hmmmm...like maybe a surfboard or something like that...food for thought...P 8)

    Very nice...like you said,simply nice.Hope your wife enjoys it as much as mine enjoys her 24" Monark Rocket...P 8)

    Elgin Rat.

    Aluyasha...if you don't mind a little constructive criticism,I'd lose the rear rack. It detracts from the koolness of your bike instead of adding to it,in my humble opinion. I like the tank idea alot though. Bear in mind that this is just my opinion and you do with your bike whatever you want as...

    Very nice...those are the tanks I've been looking for.I'll bet they are set up to house a 6v lantern battery to run the light and horn.Let me know if you ever decide to part it out...a really special find...if you need a correct replacement bulb for your light,I can get them...P 8) Just checked...
