sold yesterday ) : keeps me motivated to work on the current project though

i called, waiting for a call back. we'll see how it goes

dig the rm seat

60 bucks on cl, tempted to buy

Re: Vista Cruiser my vista has the same stem, it's rusted out, but I still dig it

i wouldn't imagine a brand new crank from the lbs being more than 15 bucks. unless you're looking for specifics. i'd just find a cheap bike on CL or the local thrift store or something and see if you can find one with decent guts you could swap out

Re: Black Betty...or, it started off as a free bike im sorry to say but i just picked up a black huffy and had a similar theme in mind... maybe i'll go blue instead of red

frame is perfect as far as i know. that's about all that's good with it. Thinking I might just keep it black, swap some gear, and grab some rattle red for the rims and fenders i've gotten like 5 different colors of unused paint and I can't decide on what color to paint what

may have to sit on the backburner for a while i suppose. I'll be picking up another bike in the same style for 5 bucks tomorrow, hopefully the frame is better.

hopefully picking it up after work today i love me some craigslist

I didn't really care, I just wanted this seat 10 bucks for the bike

this one isn't going to be a rat by any means, mostly just a gut transfer and repaint. but i already have a rat brewing in my head. I lack the ability/supplies/work area to chop and weld, so i'm limited to parts and paint builds for the time being.

hows it going? I'm right outside of va beach.

I moved from rockwood. glad to see michigan representing

i gave up and hacked it off. worse hour of my life. but the components i'm taking from the huffy are in great condition. I'm just glad I can move on with the project, so I have a decent reason to start another.

i'll get some pics up when i finish my current project so I can get motivated to take them all at once, preferably with a beachy background.

tried the liquid wrench. usually the stuff works pretty quick but i'll let it soak and reapply occasionally. im going to be picking up an old huffy good vibration to donate some whitewalls, the leather seat i want, and grips. maybe i'll be able to steal the crank and just hack the old one off...
