    schwinn choppers

    Here's the pics of our chopper collection so far. The red one just needs a good detailing. the blue one needs the same and is missing one grip. The black one is missing the brakes , the fender, the chain guard ,and someone has removed the decals.I intend to replace all the missing parts...

    Haulers, what do you haul your bike in?

    I could use this... I plan to drive the car to Myrtle Beach SC on March 15 to the Run to the Sun rod run.The car is a 1940 Chevy two door sedan. It has a 1954 235 six ,1969 Camaro three speed transmission , and Mustang II front suspension. I will probably haul the Dyno Glide and another cruiser.

    schwinn choppers

    It will take longer ones than any I have on junk bikes.The rear tire is so fat that the ones I have don't extend past the tire.

    bike brands I've never heard of before

    I'm amazed at all the brand names of current, or recent,bikes that I find regularly. I'm sure that there were makers in years gone by that I have yet to hear of, but these recent ones pop up all the time.I just bought , off of Craigslist , a Greenline cruiser bike. I had never heard of Greenline...

    Zenital Beach Cruiser

    I like it. Never heard of a Zenital , but I like it. Think I'll google it and see what pops up.

    wasted time?

    I spent most of an afternoon "truing" probably the worst two wheels that I have ever worked on . I was really pleased with how true I was able to get the front wheel. The rear was not as bad. After all the time spent on the front and some on the rear , I discovered frame damage that is probably...

    No rat MTB

    Great find. Until recently I had passed on most chances at mountain bikes. I recently bought a couple and I love them. This mongoose is my favorite , I suppose.

    Toys put away for the deep freeze

    How about the Corvair? Is it put away for the winter too? They go good in the snow!

    Black Diamond Mountain Bike

    I would be bidding on it , but shipping is a killer and it's too far to drive.Besides I'm trying not to buy any more mountain bikes.It is a nice looking bike. 8)

    Just What bike can you not find????

    It's a good thing that we're not all after the same bikes. If we were that one bike would be priceless and all others would be worth nothing.One bike I would like to find is a three speed with rod brakes.No particular brand,just a man's model and with rod brakes.

    two more

    I picked these 2 up CHEAP. The Mongoose is missing the rear brake cable. I rode it a little anyway.The seat is toasted, really. The Schwinn is missing the kickstand and the front wheel and tire are on backwards. I believe both will clean up nicely.I had decided ... No more mountain bikes ...

    bike machine

    I've had this hanging in the garage for 15+ years. I decided to stick in on a bike again. The Huffy Good Vibrations was a good candidate, not having fenders. It has good spark at the plug and good compression, so it should run but I had no mixed , two stroke gas on hand.The specks on it are...

    peugeot mixte

    Another that won't be ratted.Check out this Peugeot mixte that I paid $15 for. It will clean up nicely.The only real problem is the missing taillight lens.The lights and generator are original equipment on this bike. :D

    anybody else want a thruster?

    What I want is more like the Schwinn Admiral ladies model at WalMart. I can't believe that Schwinn doesn't make a mens model in the white red color combo.

    anybody else want a thruster?

    After looking at the Thruster some more , I don't think I want one after all. I need something with a few gears, and I hate fixies. I can use one of the many ten speed bikes in my collection as a start and build exactly what I want. I'll probably spend more than the cost of a Thruster , but it...
