Check out these websites; http://www.toppingevents.com http://www.pomonaswapmeet.com Both are about an hour or so from Santa Monica. Pomona is HUGE, but it's vintage auto, motorcycle, bicycles, etc. Even has a seperate VW section. The swap meet alone can take 6-7 hours to walk through...

Re: The Saturday Morning Special-5/21 first mockup First mockup pic taken last night; A 24" mountain bike gave up the forks, bars, stem, kickstand, and seat post. The rear fender is actually a 24" front balloon fender that is going to get bobbed, and the extension cord is my spacer between the...

Re: SoCal Speedster **on hold*** 5/19/11 Congrats to you and your family! Mike

Ok, so I've decided to participate in my first buildoff after being a forum member for about 4 years. I'm going to have a slow start, but things should pick up in a couple weeks, so stay tuned! Here is the frame I will be using; I think it's a Micargi. This was a freebie I picked up at a bike...

Re: *The 76er* (Sayonara paint! update: 5/15) Very nice job!!! You've got some great ideas on your build that I think will show up on other's builds.

Are those Pro Class wheels Jim?!

Definitely a cool little bike. I like 16 and 20 inchers for display bikes too, mostly because of their size.

Welcome! Crazy bike, and cool beagle you got there!

Ride it like you stole it, cuz you did! That's awesome!

I'd say Nishiki too, judging by the frame lugs. I had an Olympic 12 for a while. Nice score!

How do you guys do it? I tried putting some on my Cosmic Flyer, but it wasn't happening. Ended up pulling the fenders off. I know its possible. What am I doing wrong? I actually had to deflate the rear tire to get it under the fender.

I agree, especially if the kid is bad news, and you have what, 3-4 weeks of school left? I'd take the high road.

I'm in Ontario. My Cosmic Flyer has the original Davis Deluxe 26 x 1.75 whitewalls on it, which have, for a lack of a better term, shoulders to them. It's like comparing the shape of a car tire to a motorcycle tire, where the contact path on the MC tire is the center of the tread, but the car...

Re: so my bike got got stolen I'm a little west of you (Ontario). I'll keep an eye out. There's a couple swap meets my way I go to. Do you need a bike to get around on? I've got a Micargi cruiser that needs a seat, wheels, and tires that I can give you. Maybe some other local members can donate...

Does anyone have a source for decent 26x1.75 tires? My LBS can get some, but they are more round to me than I like. I guess more like a wide road bike tire. I want something like a narrower version of a balloon tire, something with more of a squared/flat tread area.

Good luck with your sedan! I have a long term (very long) project to, a '47 Ford pickup rat rod. Well, actually I have a 47 cab, they are the same from 40-47. Been slowly collecting parts for it. Someday it will get some love.

I think I divorced her. :D

That CW is pretty cool. Probably 85-87, that's when the pastel colors were real big in BMX.

I was going to start a new thread but found this old one, and thought it would be cool to revive it since so many members have joined since the last post to this one. I know there a few threads that are similar, but I picked this one, so let's see how it goes. Mine would be a complete, nicely...

That's one of the coolest designs I've ever seen! Good luck with the resto!
