Me to because I live close to the Dans Comp wharehouse and main store. When I was a kid they were just a small local shop up on main street in Mt. Vernon Indiana. They have come a long ways.

LOL! My thinking as well.

I have wondered how you modified the top tube. It really looks great and I like the patina job you did to it as well.

LOL! I was thinking that when I saw this pic as well. Maybe if I paid the shipping Randy would give me the Brooks saddle? I believe that Cottonelle Ultra Comfort would be cloud like ride compared to the Brooks.

The only one that I have had in my possession was plastic.

Ouch!!! I hope you didn't get hurt.

Have you tried to Google images of the Huffy Silver Jet. Quite a few pics of them online and IIRC some with unbroken front fender ornaments. I believe there are some older post with pics here and threads on the Cabe as well. If I was not on my little tablet tonight I could have found some images...

Thank you for sharing a pic. I see the pedals have the little chair on the flats to tighten them to the crank arms.

Agreed, excellent write up. That KOS looks so nice.

Do they have the cool chair logo like Schwinn Boys hub?

Those names can be quite comical sometimes. My Schwinn HD is sporting a Shoot seat made in China. I have some other odd English named bike parts from Asia but I can't remember the names at the present.

Great save. That is quite a transformation from a neglected frame to the complete bike you built.

I seldom haul bikes but for one or two bikes I typically use a trunk rack for a car. Even though the one I have is a cheapy I can haul three heavy bikes on it with reinforcement via rachet straps at the bracket points. Once in a while I use my old 73 Ford F100 truck. The handlebar straps for...

You have one extremely nice looking Racer there.

I'm not sure if this one has been mentioned here already or not. Found it tonight on Walmarts site in three different color options at $197. The specs are messed up in typical Walmart fashion. It says coaster brake rear single speed but the pics clearly show a rear free wheel and derailleur...

So much for living in the tropics ehh. :D Time to tweak your location a bit.:grin:

I don't know anything about these monoshock bikes. My guess is likely European because of the cottered cranks. Could also be a Japanese make but I don't know if the Japanese monoshock bikes used cottered cranks or not. Here is a link to Google pics of the Repco monoshockers that Wildcat...

If your seatpost is what is loose and you can't get the clamp to tighten enough you can do a quick fix with a aluminium can. Use some tin snips, or something similar, and cut one or two rectangular strips from the cans body. The wrap them around your post. It's a bit tricky to get the aluminum...

Even though I am further south I am still sick of this winter. Below zero temps, snow, ice.......... Last winter was similar to this where I live.

Learn something new everyday. I did not realize 27.5 was making it into cruiser style bikes. I have thought of it as more of a mountain bike size.
