i had this same problem when i finally got my schwinn twinn fixed up. i was really excited to ride it but my girlfriend refused to ride with me and said that tandems were "gay". i finally convinced her to ride with me and now she loves it.

What a strange name for a bike. When I hear the word "liquidator" I don't really think of drag racing or bicycles. Sweet bike though!

whoa, the seat on that huffy is rad!

you always find the best tank bikes! i need to scour more barns.

awesome, we'll be there!

I picked up four bikes yesterday and didn't pay a dime for them! A couple of weeks ago I found three 1980's era 10 speed bikes on the curb that were being given away for free so I picked them up thinking I would sell them on Craigslist. Then last week a friend of mine mentioned that her...

Does anyone know how accurate a speedometer is, assuming the unit is in good working condition? I don't plan on breaking any land speed records but I'm curious as to how fast I avereage on my Schwinn Jaguar which I ride most often.

Check it out! My friends and I are famous... http://www.indy.com/posts/11883 I'm pretty sure the writer of this article thought we were total ........ edit: just realized there's a video segment related to this article. http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/s ... deonetwork dang, my parents...

yeah... the origin of the term "emo" is debatable and when I went to shows in the mid 90's it was used jokingly to describe kids who wore gas station jackets, had horn rimmed glasses, dyed black hair, tight pants and listened to fast, chaotic hardcore punk music. In those days riding bicycles...

ha, that kid would totally ride this bike.

Yeah, silly name for this bike but it makes me think of something emo/screamo kids would have ridden to a basement show in the late 90's. Anyway, got bored this afternoon and threw this together. I haven't had time to build any bikes lately and I was getting anxious to play with some of the...

Went to a friend's house last night and spotted four bikes on the curb across the street. I wasn't sure if these bikes were actually being thrown out so I knocked on the door of the house they were in front of and the owner told me she was cleaning out her garage and that the bikes were free...

dang, i need to start shopping at costco! do they sell those in bulk?

Just bought a Western Flyer in pretty good shape except that part of the frame is bent up. The bend is near the rear of the bike close to the dropouts. I was thinking of just banging it back into shape with a hammer but I don't want to weaken it. Any advice?

cool bike! i was watching one of those on eBay a while back thinking it wouldn't go very high... i think it made $150 or so! Great deal for $7! the praying mantis is pretty sweet as well. I only saw one of those this summer and it was much smaller than the one in your photos.

I've been looking for one of these sprockets for quite a while so I think I'll hold onto it. It seems these sprockets are worth thier weight in gold here in rat rod land.

Found on Craigslist today: $20 for the Western Flyer and $10 for the women's tank frame. Check out the star sprocket! Anyone know what the women's frame might be? I was thinking AMF because of the sprocket.

sweet bike, but i have to agree with everyone else... you should really leave the rear fender and grill. if that were my bike i'd probably restore it as best i could, flip it and buy a bunch more rusty bikes.

Let's hear it for our Hoosier prisoners!!!

I found this paint at a local art supply shop. It's kind of expensive (about $9 a can) but it claims to not need a primer coat , has virtually no overspray and has the twice the coverage of most spray paint. Plus it comes in about 200 colors. Has anyone tried it? I'm planning to try it for my...
