    Western Flyer Before and After

    Nah. It was bent and twisted. I used the Mope Head method of scavenging one from a donor in the scrap pile.

    Western Flyer Before and After

    Finally got around to this one. Tried to salvage the paint under a horrible spray-bombbut it was not to be so I went with a powdercoat copper vein frame and soft gold tank and chainguard. Still need to powdercoat the bars, gooseneck, and seatpost with a 40% black and add a lower profile brown...

    AMX Galactic Cruiser

    Anyone have any info on this 20" muscle bike? One for sale locally. I don't really need another project but could be fun at a decent price if there's any quality to it. No idea of age, maker, or anything. Hoping someone here can shed a little light. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1989 Cannondale Road Bike

    Stopped in at the local thrift shop (Goodwill-type place) just to poke around and ran across this beauty. 1989 Cannondale 3.0 12 speed road bike with aluminum frame and Suntour components. Sticker price of $18.00. I'm not a road bike guy but just couldn't pass up a deal like that. The cashier...

    Junior Oozing With Patina

    Some green scotchbrite pads, some warm, soapy water and some time spent gently scrubbing and you'd be surprised how well you could turn that frame around. I'll guarantee there's some nice paint beneath the rust if you take your time getting to it. Certainly worth a look before stripping it. That...

    Lets see your backracks/boxes/bike carriers!

    I used an oak slat from an old pallet to make a shelf for the rear rack on my Electra Cruiser.

    Good Vibrations back from the dead

    A while back I picked this up for stupid cheap since it was on it's way to the boneyard. My original plan was to part it for other projects. A couple of weeks ago I finished up a Dyno that I was working on and had the original red wheels and tires sitting off to the side, near this Huffy. I...

    CORRECTED: 26x1-3/8 tire whoas

    Just to muddy things up a bit, at least some of the Giant built Schwinns from Taiwan also use the 26x1-3/8 (590). I just put a set on an '83 Collegiate. Incidentally, Kenda makes them in black and gum wall, available on Amazon. Whitewalls are out there but are stupid expensive. Sent from my...

    Life Is Good

    Relaxing in the driveway, watching my kids ride bikes that I rescued from the bicycle boneyard. Particularly proud of my daughter's love for the old Aristocrat that I brought back from a very sad, very rusty death.
