Hairspray, WD-40, Soapy Water, Alcohol, One loop of masking tape, A shim made of leftover beer cans. Light coat of spray paint. put a wine cork in the end or your bar (just a smidge bigger than your bar) whack the grip on with a mallet All methods Ive used in the past

Crescent wrench sized down to the exact size of your handlebar. Place it behind your grip and hit the wrench with a rubber mallet. Pops right off Make sure you use a rubber mallet and not the claw hammer in your box. Otherwise that expensive lifetime warrantied wrench gets too dinged up and the...

Had a guy in my Street Rod class find this out the hard way. He had an old shorty van with a mural of a big triumphant horse climbing a mountain or something great and groovy or whatever they thought would get the ladies back in 74. Anyway, a few of us added a little something extra to his...

My usual approach. except I use the studs in my uninsulated garage. I have killed a few forks this way though. :lol:

I had the same ones on my 20" when I first built it:

Its my tattoo while riding. The tattoo is Social Distortion's dice logo

In my neck of the woods there are 3 shops in town and one out of town The one out of town is awesome for a builder. He has any part you can think of, if he doesnt he will get it. He's been in business for over 25 years, been the owner the entire time. He used to be a Schwinn dealer, now he deals...

Couple more Had to put one on my Single Speed Commuter too. Just for support

Yakima makes a Tandem rack...

My Coaster-Roadster I painted the entire frame with the woodgrain technique. The fork is just a lighter brown with the same technique. IMO, If you're going brown, Cream or white accents and Cream or White tires are a must

This is my Tandem build. Started life as two Wallypants MTB's Cut up and welded together Primed and Painted Slightly assembled I had planned on running regular 26" wheels on it (I can clear 2.3s no problem) but I wanted something with some gear range. I ended up going with an old 26x1...

Do you have a product number? I need to have this!

Count me in. I like the idea of the vintage feel. Too many of the T-shirts I get from contests, events or other hooplah are the heavy cheapo cotton ones

The simple is a great bike. If you can get ahold of a 2012 Suede from your Giant dealer (they cancelled it for 2013) they make that in a large. The 2013 Simple can come in a golden yellow that is AWESOME (I work at a GIant Dealer)

Update on my Reflector. Turns out my broken headlamp from work is the same diameter as my light housing. Will probably be assembled tomorrow

After looking through the Headlights and Taillights "Show me" I go to thinking. Maybe I could electrify my reflector. Not a whole lot happened until I was digging through the junk bin and discovered my old 15 LED headlamp that got busted at work. It is almost the perfect diameter to pop into...

I figured this was a good place for one of my new stickers:D

This bike started out as a 90's Huffy Santa Fe in Ugly Purple. I wanted to make a cruiser that looked 50's or 60's. But got this one for free and I paint for a living, so I decided it wouldn't be hard to make it "era specific" Not the actual bike, but looked just like this I was originally...

I made a rack from an old coke flat. I debated on redoing it with a nice coat of urethane, but decided I liked the Patina better. Can hold 4 6'ers no problem. Discovered after the initial run that I missed two things Updated after painting the rack. yup. That is a Fire extinguisher...

Man if I wasn't saving up for a house I'd have that thing bought from you right now. That fork alone is worth 50 in my book.
