Got a great deal at a local thrift shop on this Western Flyer. From what I can find it appears to be a 40's Huffman built Western Flyer as it is sporting the OG WF headbadge, complete deluxe model with both fenders, guard, tank and rear rack. I have a pic here of the stamped serial number on the...

Built the ole Schwinn up again, this time painted black and blue, 27.5 fork resprung heavier, Weinneman wide double wall coaster wheelset with 12g spokes that I repacked with Mobile One full syn grease, 2.4 CST Cheyenne on front and 2.1 on rear, Porkchop chainring, Eastern Sealed three piece...

Right on, I just sold a mens Huffy this past Saturday night similar to yours, was a real nice bike. I also have a few others like that I stripped down and made single speed cruisers out of, work great for that with the horizontal drops and American bottom bracket.

Thanks man.

Finally got this bad boy all sorted out. Bought it neglected and needing a BUNCH of work, picked it up cheap. Great frame with integrated headset and Tektro mechanical disk brakes and nice straight double wall Alex wheels, replaced a lot of parts on this thing and could never get the rear...

Nice, Yeti makes and awesome mountain bike, mine is a 26" I just don't care for the 29er's, I'm 26 all the way.

Wow, you would think your bike would be heavier, I weighed it on a digital bathroom scale. Well, if its off and the bike doesn't weigh that much, the wife will be ecstatic, she was just saying today that she had put on around 7 or 8 pounds :21: Sweet bike by the way,...

Picked up this 1996 John Tomac model last weekend for pocket change, completely went through it cleaning, adjusting and replacing where needed, brake pads and such. Bike is awesome and cleaned up really nice, bought it from a guy who was a Giant Sales Rep back during the time Tomac raced this...

Update on the GT Palo-BEAST for the un-impressed masses, got the Omega RST fork in with lockout, super nice fork, cut it to fit this morning and also added a 2.4 Caballero tire on the front and a 2.25 Caballero tire on the rear. Bike rides awesome and is very fun to ride, the Answer Pro Taper 2"...

Here is something you may find interesting as hi-ten steel has never gotten much credit, there were many bmx and mountain bike frames dating from the 70's 80's and 90's that were made from it by big name bike companies,...For an equal dimension structure, between steel, titanium and aluminum...

Thanks rrtbike.

Picked this up off the bay for super duper cheap, bike is mint new and arrived in a factory sealed GT box that had never been open. I really love the old steel frame bikes, I have a garage full of chromoly one's so the appeal was instant when I saw this. Probably the last chance you will have on...

Thanks man.

Thanks G-Matt

The canti brakes adjusted with fresh pads do still work well, I have a mint 96 GT Talera with all new arms and pads, work great.

Picked up a mint 96 GT Talera and a mint 98 Trek 7000zx here over the past few weeks, bikes were in awesome condition with virtually no scratches on the frame and forks and very little use, gears were stuck and they needed tune ups but other then that I have them riding like new again and very...

vpc66, you may be able to use your same cable housing, I used the same housing for the rear but had to insert a longer cable into it, on the front I had to cut a longer cable and housing. You can buy the linear pull style v-brake setup, arms with curved cable guides and everything as a kit on...

Thanks, I do like the Specialized FS bike I just picked up but this one is still my favorite, she's a lot closer to who I really am.

Thanks for the advice SILVERKINGPC, fortunately the trails around here are pretty mild, mostly rooty but other then than short and technical it seems, she's a nice rider. I wasn't able to take it in the trails yesterday because it was a bit to muddy but did get some ride time in down town on it...

Thanks man, I've always liked them. I have made a few refinements to it since this pic, super nice bike and great in the trails.
