Here's what I hope to do this weekend. The E-zip bike that I picked up some time back has a warped rear rim and 3 or 4 broken spokes, so I want to replace the rim & spokes. The rim & spokes in the foreground of the pic are good. I have already removed all the spokes & rim from the hub. Now, to...

Just think how much easier it would have been to jack the car up and then let it down onto the forks. And do it on the concrete. But then if he doesn't have a mower maybe he has no jack either. :roll:

In my latest fresh finds post I showed a bike that I bought with rusty springer forks on it.It appears that the only way to salvage the forks are to paint them.I doubt if I can "save" the chrome on any of the parts.I'd like to see some builds with painted springers . Who has done one? How about...

I found this yesterday I bought it in a hurry and now I see how rough it is.The springer forks are rusty.Too rusty to clean up. The rear wheel has been changed. The front is laced radially while the rear is the common cross two , or is it three? The seven speed derailleur and shifter are...

Anybody got a Mongoose Justice ? I got one today and the derailler and shifter are missing. I'd like to know what was on it originally. Pics tomorrow. Thanks.

I found a general 12 speed bike today. I didn't get a good overall pic . The front rim and tire have been replaced with a super skinny one with a presta valve. [url=http://s738.photobucket.com/user/thomc1957/media/generalIV_zps9033cd06.jpeg.html][/ur Wonder how hard it will be to find the...

I found this today. It is missing the turn signals and most of the decals. And yes I know the forks are bent.I believe that the chrome will clean up ok. 8)

Those Good Vibrations are good riding, cheap bikes. I have several. Beautiful dog . Two of the things in life I love , a nice bike and a good dog. :D

I found the same thing recently on a bike I wanted to fix.Obviously water has gotten into the tube and caused it to rust out from inside.I decided not to fix mine because I figure there is more rust inside that has not shown up yet.If any part of the frame breaks while the bike is being ridden...

From info I found on another site I have learned that the bike is a 1984 model. :)

I bought it. My new rule---if i doubt , buy it. I would like to know more about it , like the age and the price when it was new. I first thought that it had been repainted but I am not sure.Any info will be appreciated. 8)

I found a older Bianchi ten speed. I can buy it cheap. The bike is too tall for me.I know that Bianchi bikes have the good components such as deraillers , brakes and wheels.I suppose that I should buy it and watch for a smaller frame to use the parts on.What say ye? :?:

My first " The Londoner". A Japanese three speed. The saddle and fenders were included. The fenders were bent so badly that I removed them so the wheels would roll.The bike will clean up pretty well. I hope the fenders are common to Japanese bikes so I can find replacements. Next is a Huffy...

I bought this off of c/l back in December. I got it today. Greenline was/is proud of their bikes.The name is on the bike 7 times.Check out the ends of the grips.The wheels may not be the originals. They have 68 spokes each.The tires are all white.These pics were taken before I cleaned it...

I just learned that Hodaka makes , or made bicycles. I rode Hodaka motorcycles in the 70s and 80s and loved them.I must have a Hodaka bicycle , or three. Anybody on here got one? :?:

Thanks. I will order a set. I started to go ahead and do a major cleaning and detail on it but decided to wait until I have the new decals in hand.There is just enough residue left on the paint to see where the decals were originally so I can put them back exactly where they belong.Thanks again...

Yesterday I got an AMF Pro Tour ladies/girls bike. I would usually pass on one but I liked the shifter on this one. I had only seen a shifter like this in pictures.It seems to work. I think I'll put some tires on the bike and try it.At least it's something that I didn't already have in my...

I rode this bike a little. Apart from being borderline too tall for me , I like the way it rides.The positron shift system works well. I'm almost tempted to put some flat bars and fenders on it.The bike is a low mileage original so I suppose I should detail it out and try to find some...

Thanks! You are probably right. Now when I look at the remains of the decal on the top tube I think I can see C A L I E N T E. Can you see it in the photo? I have several Schwinn tenspeeds in my collection but this would be the first Caliente.

I just got this Sept 1979 tenspeed . It should clean up nicely. The tires are even good.The worst part is the decals.I can't tell what they "say".Can any body else tell by the photos? Continental maybe? It has the front freewheel system and positron shifters. I wonder what someone had clamped...
