    Chain woes

    To better understand heres another pic. This is THE ONLY way that the chain is the proper length and allow thevidler sprocket to tighten chain. Anything else is too long or too tight but as you can see fastening together here aint happening. No way no how. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Chain woes

    I am trying to put a chain on my Worksman Porto after finally getting a freewheel hub. Anyway heres my problem. Using a nesr new chain the first pic is too short. The other way is WAY too long. Theres no other way that I can figure out. Should I go buy a new chain and start over? Sent from my...

    Trike Resto Is Done

    Nope its from an exercise bike and yes its big. I started to put a nice riding mower seat on it like it came from the factory but they hurt the back of your legs. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Trike Resto Is Done

    Tonite I finished up getting the old Ashtabula back on the road after years of being a yard art flower planter. Every nut and bolt removed. Painted. All new axle bearings etc. Note the seat i got from a junk exercise bike and how you "screw" the threaded shaft up and down to adjust. It also...

    Bikeman4u on YT.

    If you pay attention to his live show its a lot of flat tires. Another thing Bikeman himself doesnt really get much done. Hes is too busy talking and checking out YT. Sometimes he comes off alittle harsh attitudes towards people too. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Sprocket Fitting. Yes It Worked.

    No it drilled very easy. I guess Chinese steel isnt very hard. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Sprocket Fitting. Yes It Worked.

    I needed a 36t sprocket for one of my cruisers and didnt have one. I did have one on a kids bike but no drive pin hole and was hex shaped in the center. It fit fairly well on the cruiser crank with not much center play at all. Using an old sprocket for a template I drilled a hole for the drive...

    Bikeman4u on YT.

    I watched some of their live show and always amazed at how dumb rich people can be. Some of his customers can run a corperation but cant put air in a tire. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Bikeman4u on YT.

    I read where they are only open from St. Patricks day thru Halloween or Thanksgiving. He never discloses their shop rate but his clientel has money to burn so I can imagine its pretty high. I enjoy his vids. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Bikeman4u on YT.

    To live where he does he must make some serious cash. When I think of the Hamptons all I can picture is million dollar mansion. Not some blue collar type messing with bicycles. In some of his live stuff he comes off as a jerk sometimes. Hes got it going on tho. Makes more than me. Sent from my...

    Bikeman4u on YT.

    Do any of you watch this guy from up in the Hamptons? I have learned several things from him. They do a live YT show on Saturdays. Hes a nut but knows everything about a bike. He must have a heck of a buisness to be able to live amongst the multi millionaires. His online prices are very high...

I keep a wanted ad for bikes running every week in our local free pennysaver paper. Havent picked up a bike from the ad in 2...

    Worksman Low Gravity "Cycle Truck" Bikes.

    I saw one of those on Cl recently. It had a basket that stayed rigid and the front wheel only turned. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    BCA Cross Town (balloon tire mixte)

    Dunno all I can tell you it was steel and not aluminum. Wasnt much info out there on BCA bikes. It was alittle heavy but rode really nicely. I bought it from some rich guy who just wanted out of the garage. The bike was practically like new. Think I sold it for 50. Sent from my GT-P5113 using...

    BCA Cross Town (balloon tire mixte)

    Heres a BCA Parkwood 6 speed I bought absolutely mint cond for 30.00. It was one sweet ride. I loved the double bar frame design. I kept it for awhile but sold it. Had aluminum fenders too. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    another nice score for 5 bucks torker 16 inch wheel scooter

    Tell ya what I stumbled on for 20 bucks and the grandkids LUVED....a Cycocycle. They literally fought over it and those things are indestructible. A baby elephant could ride it. Highly recommend for kids around 7 or so and up to adult. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Good Vibrations

    Got this nice Huffy GV for 10.00. Cleaned up the wheels and replaced a front tube. These are nice riding cruisers IMO. My "daily driver" is an older American built GV. I think this one is China built but still a good rider. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    another nice score for 5 bucks torker 16 inch wheel scooter

    We had 4 or 5 of those BMX scooters around here for the grandkids to ride. They loved em. They grew tired of them after a while and we sold them. Great score tho. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk
