Awww that sucks. I was trying to sell mine, but no one seems to want it for what I was asking. Decided to keep it and customize it a bit.

I remember seeing orange and apple krates in 1998. My LBS had 2 of them on display along with repro seats, grips, forks etc. They were taking pre-orders on both apple and orange krates.

Have you customized this yet? I have the same bike. I started to part it out, then had a change of heart and put it back together. I'm getting ready to make some changes though... You don't see the 24" models often.

Do you have to place all of your votes at the same time? I voted then logged out. Now I can't cast my other 2 votes? Sorry if this has been covered already.

!970's Schwinn Collegiate frame, a lot of parts off a 70s speedster, and features a brooks saddle, crane bell, kenda 26x1.95" knobby tires on alloy rims, and nexus 7 speed. Here is the build thread. viewtopic.php?f=55&t=40646&st=0&sk=t&sd=a This is my first build off bike, and I started this...

Decided not to paint it for now. I plan on blowing it apart, and getting the frame/forks/chain guard powder coated. It's done enough for now though. I added a crane copper bell (to match the rivets in the saddle) and a little tool bag I got on clearance at wal mart. It rides nice!

I know of a Dyno mooneyes bike in excellent shape for sale right not for $300. Not sure what is worth more, I imagine the Dyno?

ummm....what's goin' on here? charlie sheen...ok. a sword w/ the CBS logo... i dont get it :? I started trying to explain it, but I think you'd be better off googling Charlie Sheen's interview where he talks about having tiger blood. Then google Thundercats. Should make more sense after that...

Got the new pedals on. Unfortunately the cool micro-adjust alloy seat post I ordered was too big in diameter. I had to take the seat clamp off my dyno. Got the seat on though. I adjusted it up in the nose a little after I took this pic.

My LBS is pretty much only good for buying new, complete bicycles. If I want parts or anything else, I pretty much have to buy online. It's sad, because I would rather buy from them, but they just never have anything or really even seem to know anything about older bikes. Last time I went in, I...

Re: No Name Yet I actually thought about doing some gussets like that on my project. Decided not to though. They will look very cool.

I actually thought about it, but I don't think I want to go that route. I thought about a dark blood red, or orange, or even just a basic black.

Just waiting on some parts. That and still trying to decide on a color for the frame/forks..

What's up with that tiger seat cover? I have been looking for something like that. Oh, the forks, stem and handlebars all look great together.

Thanks guys. I was on the fence about the chain guard. Originally I planned to leave it off. There are some handlebars from Soma Fabrication that I like, Condorina handlebars, but I'm not sure its worth the $, to buy them and then I'd need a different stem as well. I plan to order a micro adjust...

Just bought a nice used Brooks Flyer saddle on ebay. I think its the honey color. Trying to figure out what color to paint the bike. Black sounds cool with this seat, but I also like the idea of color, with black rims and accents.

Phase one is complete, I got the bike back together and rode it. The rear hub performs as it should and the gear ratio is actually pretty nice for around here. Phase 2 will probably include paint, new pedals, seat and cleaning up all the chrome. I also need to find some more cable tie down things.

The anti-rotation washers came in the mail today, and were the correct ones. Put those on, put the crank on too. Kind of weird, the part of the frame that the crank and all that bolts too seems wider than the speedster? I could barely get enough threads to show to get it snugged down. I even...

Here it is with the forks and the wheels on. I am waiting on some anti rotation washers I ordered before I can tighten the back wheel in. Its really close to rubbing, hope it works out with these tires. The seat isn't the one I'm going to use. Also the handlebars and stem may get replaced...

A week or two ago, a local welding teacher that I know gave me some parts. A few new tires, a few rims that the hubs were ruined and a girls ten speed schwinn frame. They had started to build a quadracycle and I guess the project ended badly. I didn't really know if I'd ever use any of this...
