WOW, when it first went on CL it was only $300 I think. I was interested in it too till I saw the price go up so much.

Well I couldn't use the forks that I wanted to due to a lack of headset parts so I had to rip apart a womans bike I had for the headset and forks but ended up liking them better than the other forks, nice how things like that work out. I went with the lightweight wheels for now and I need to...

Thanks guys, the frame was shipped the other day and should be here around the 22nd and I hope in one piece. As for getting my sprocket color case hardened, I looked into it and it would be about 400 bucks so not going to happen unless I do it myself but that would be another project down the...

Might use this sprocket I have been working on and a lightweight set of wheels instead but that will be if I can't get some skiptooth chain before the tenth, I want to ride this bike for the worst day of the year ride in Portland.

I see these wheels in my dreams at night and they run threw my mind during the day. Absolute Perfection.

A huge thanks goes out to Harold_B for sending me the cable and drive for my speedo I am loving it and the cable was the perfect length for where I wanted to put it too.

A buddy of mine is sending me this frame from Boston this weekend I hope. He said it's a J.C. Higgins. So I had to break out some of the nice parts I have collected over the last couple months. I got these bars and stem This crank and sprocket. I'm thinking about maybe having the sprocket case...

Nice man, I was thinking of doing that 4 hour hike to get that bike but I don't think my back could of taken the drive.

I found a burl coffee table at a yardsale for ten bucks and used some of the wood to make a nice one for my ride

I looked but I never got a PM from you. Strip that paint off, it was my Dads pick of colors and I think his brain wasn't working that day. I told him is was ugly colors the day he brought it back home. I will keep my eyes open for a good trade on it, I have been looking for some old school free...

I had one like this when I was a teenager and I went into a bikeshop the other day for a brooks saddle and they had this upstairs for a good price so that day I left the store with a lot less money in my wallet and this Monty trials bike with magura brakes and sealed bearings all around. It has...

Re: Ol school Mongoose Decade w/ some tasty upgrades Hw much cash are we talking here? I would love to have my old ride back, it was the first good bike I had. I can look around for an old 20" to trade you but they don't really show up to much in the Portland Oregon area but I can hunt one...

Re: Ol school Mongoose Decade w/ some tasty upgrades When I got rid of it I lived in Merrimac Ma. I think it was around 1992 when I got it and it had about 8 layers of spray paint on it and my Dad took care of that with the custom paint, It was originally the blue color they used then. I looked...

Re: Ol school Mongoose w/ some tasty upgrades I used to have one just like this back when I was younger, my dad bead blasted it and painted it the same colors as yours. Would be a laugh if it was my old bike, I will have to see if i have any pictures of it.

At first i tried some machine screws but I couldn't get them to hold tight with use so I tried some huge pop rivets I had in the shop and they haven't come loose yet and they have a nice flush fit. Only problem I had was I had to grind them down a little bit on the inside of the headtube but it...

All the way to the side, but it works and gets used alot.

Picked these up today for trade of an old air compressor and a couple pellet guns I had picked up from yard sales. sear astro flight with the jeweled pedal all intact and a nice zenith with a perfect skiptooth drivetrain chromes perfect too, thats just some rain from the...

Love the tank on your cwc, I have been looking for one for mine but i think im just going to try to make one. With nothing better to do on this rainy day I made the empty shell of a light I found at a store full of random stuff work today and fabbed up this headlight bracket today, its made...
