    Expanding a Seat Tube

    I have take older bikes where the seat tube will only work with 22.2, replaced the whole seat tube where a modern 26.2 will fit. 1" EMT. If your Beast dosen't mind. Cut out the old and weld in the new seat tube that will fit your large seat post.

    My Gaggle of....... Proflex's

    Not really collecting them, If I have a chance to buy them for a good price Ill get it. or any "Quality" aluminum bike. Just the two bikes have the Girvin and I have a spare. It might be missing a part or two. Or maybe i just dont know enough about it. The flex's that have a normal front...

    My Gaggle of....... Proflex's

    WINTER BUILD OFF "The Shelby"

    So in the mean time, I picked up a Proflex and 2 TREK Alloy frames and I have been tinkering around with those. So now I'm up to 5 Proflexe's. And two of them have the Girven and need new shocks instead of the melted or the hard polymers. For the Good stuff it might be $600 per bike to get...

    WINTER BUILD OFF "The Shelby"

    I found the aluminum Ii lost, I need a 2 inch spacer to install below the lower race. But tonight my room mate and myself got wound up in a full suspension GT rebuild and a Proflex build. Now 5 hours after the proper dinner time its time to eat.

    WINTER BUILD OFF "The Shelby"

    Problem with the head set. Stuffing a newer kids Schwinn 1 1/8 chopper fork in a pre-war frame. Its to long, not enough threads to scrunch it down. Need to find a spacer and insert it, Cool pain job when it warms up. This week its going to get down to the single digits for a bit. And the...

    How in the world does this happen????

    I was worried at first, trying to save the gussets up front, cut most of it out with a 4 inch cut off wheel then 4 dremel cut off wheels to get the top tube all gone. The price was right for this one, free. You can't beat that. And fixing it like it never happened, priceless.
