Nice job! Love the look of the frame. I was in your neck of the woods today. Stopped in at the Water Street Antique Mall to see the "antique bikes". Just curious, what is your opinion of this place? And of the "antique bikes"?

Well, I happen to value each and every one of those 1200 opinions! :D As I really don't have a clue as to what I am doing...I'm only going on what I see on the masterpieces you guys build here. As for the "Apes" not sure that will ever happen. To make a long story short - I fractured my...

Thanks for all the nice comments and suggestions... Sensor, I'm dumber than I look, and here are my questions: 1. If I cut the head tube on the fork down, doesn't that change the angle of the springer fork? I was under the "impression" that it had to be that length for "Safety" purposes. I...

Great looking bike! I have a newbie question for you: How do you make up a layback seatpost?

Never thought it would take me 3 days (a few hours each day) to put together a simple bike like this. I have learned a lot. The finished product...

Necessaryevil... I lived in Cincinnati from 1982 - 1984, 1984 - 1985, moved to Cleveland in December 1985 - November 1988, moved back to Cincinnati in November 1988 - 1999, where I owned my own business across from Lunken Airport. Hate to say it, but I miss Ohio. It has a lot going for it...

Where do I begin? I last purchased a bike, a Schwinn Super Le Tour 12.2 in 1978...using it to pedal 128 miles in one day in 1980 on a trip from Troy, MI to Sarnia, Ontario and back...then for some odd reason in 2006 decided to purchase a couple of Road Bikes, then a Mountain Bike, then a Single...
