    Converting a road bike into a cruiser ?

    I'd say just get a newer frame, an older mountain bike frame and just go coaster brake with the ever present 26 inch tire. Your old 10 speed frame might not fit the wide tires in the front or rear. Find a cro mo frame and save a bunch of weight over the old frame. If you stick with the 26 1...

    Welding washers?

    I'm lost also. Don't weld them together, get the right kind of part. Do some back woods stuff and you could ruin more parts and spend more money than on the proper parts

    How to remove a Free Wheel The Easy Way

    Good tech there alecw35, I just ran into a free wheel I have no idea how to get off. Looks like it was never meant to be removed. Older Columbia 10 speed road bike with 26 1 3/8 wheels. I'll have to post up the pics of the 2 and 4 slot free wheel with the axle and nut trick. Even some of the...

    buildup blunders

    The thing is, she would get in trouble for stealing it back. She got smart and removed the saddle and seat post. But I'm sure it got parted out. Its kind of funny, the same time a big bike and parts seller started up in the same area where it got stolen. I might have to pay them a visit...

    Schwinn Mesa Runner

    Six in a Barn

    My fresh find in a while, well not me, a local scraper finds them for me. Scraping in a small town out west and delivered to my front yard for $10 each. Kinda hard to beat that. Two kids bikes, one 20 incher and a 24 incher. Two 10 speed Spirits, and the two real finds....... Raleigh 3 speed...

    Burning old grease out of bearings, "How To" or "Don't Do?"

    That's a good way to burn down your shop or house. De-greaser, hot water and soap, or the old school method, gas in a metal can outside. Get a parts cleaner like I have, I've had it for a while now and haven't used it yet...

    Bikes made from cars

    At the end of the video, the over head shot of the guy riding the bike. I saw no serpentine belt that replaced the chain. Or did he use it for the grips?

    What do you do with your old girls frames?

    Gender Change JCP Ladys 3 Speed,Turned it into a 5 speed. The top one I sold for $150 and the Western Flyer, I don't think $500 would pry it out of my hands. Western Flyer

    Steer Tube Length Modification

    Good Work, looks like new. I need to do that to a 1 1/8 to make it longer by 3 inches. I read the E Bay description wrong.
