heres mine. pretty sure you guys havent seen it(except deorman). it was my build off bike a few years ago, but life got in the way. i did finish it though. its approx 1935.

i posted this here somewhere here 2 or 3 years ago. this is an old motorcycle tip but works on bikes also. best on BMX and beach bars and apes. use a centerpunch to make some nicely(or not so nice) spaced dimples. the centerpunch dimples wont do much, but they will make a raised area around the...

man, you always find cool stuff. the bike is goin in a great direction, but as much a i like the hourglass apes they just dont quite fit with the rest of it. rounded "beach bar" right side up or flipped? long & low always looks tight. looking good my friend

dang it! i'm really digging this one.

hello friends. i havent posted in a long time because i've been mostly working on motorsickles. last summer a co-worker asked me to fix up these bikes. theyve been in my backyard for so long and she never gave me a dime. about a month ago she moved onto another gig. she never asked me if i will...

i'll bump this once again. my new/old(approx 1938) lathe is craftsman and so is the motor. check out the label on the motor.

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories I listed a BMX bike on CL and a guy came and bought it this weekend. we chatted about BMX bikes for awhile. I told him about one I built awhile back that was all black. black mags and seat. powdercoated black frame, fork, handlebar, and...

it don't matter what it is. bicycles,motorcyles,cars, music, art, and plenty more....I was once told " sometimes you gotta suffer a little to be cool".

dante has an extra level of the inferno for guys like that

yeah, I know steve said to lay off the beer talk, but this might count 'cause it's recycling :lol: next time you gotta rebuild a head tube or bottom bracket and you're packing bearings tear open an empty 12 pack to keep yer workbench a little cleaner. if you're a younger member ask yer dad for...

super nice score. w/ the tangs for the drop stand(missing) and the curved seat post it's probably 1941.

if i'm the only one gonna add to this thread it aint no fun :P my pal found this in KY and brought it home for me. it's a motorboat eng cover/gas tank.

I dunno. I want to like it, but it looks like they took a lot of care and craftsmanship to build the treehouse but they used a cheap sloppy girls bike to make the "elevator" :lol:

the other day I was driving home and saw a guy on his cell phone. he started to drift into my lane. I got so mad I threw my beer can at him! just kidding! just kidding! :lol:

my friend Tom Petty once told me the waiting is the hardest part :wink:

i've been looking fo an affordable stand to clear up a little floor space in the garage, well i found one on CL and went to pick it up after work yesterday. after i pay the guy and a little small talk we're walking out to my van and i see way out in the back yard a rear wheel & rack poking out...

the frame/fork alone look 50s w/ the drop outs and the seat stay. but the fork looks bent. but the kickstand mount looks much later. the stem (besides being backwards :lol: )looks 70s. the chaingard aint 50s Columbia. the sprocket is modern(not skiptooth) so it's at least mid 50s and up, but it...
