I would like to have a thruster from Wal-mart, but I hate the red/yellow , yellow/red wheel & tire combo. I would trade a rim & tire with someone to get both tires and both rims the same color. I would prefer both rims to be yellow and both tires red. Anybody interested? Or, should I just buy...

I've picked out a few bikes in my "collection" to restore this winter.I may have shown some, or all of these on here before. The first one is a Toscana Sport De Luxe 3 speed.I believe the generator and headlight are original to the bike as the bracket for the generator is welded to the front...

That's a 37 Ford truck in the background.

In NC , between Blowing Rock and Boone there is a tourist attraction called Tweetsie Railroad. It's been there since 1957. They have a preserved 1915 steam powered train that takes passengers on a 3 mile ride around the mountainside. My wife and I took our two grandsons and her niece and...

I recently posted in the fresh finds when I bought this... The rear rim was badly warped. I was able to straighten it quite a bit, but can't get it as true as I would like,so I would like to replace the rim. I've tried pretty much all of the bicycle parts suppliers on the net as well as the...

Re: 1967 Carlton Corsa Strada just arrived Please keep us updated on this beautiful bike. 8)

Not a movie ,but I have loved "Gunsmoke" all my life. One older , black & white episode shows a man riding a hi-wheeler down the street in the last few seconds of the show. I'm quite sure that I've seen every episode several times , and have not seen a bike in any other, even in the background.

That should clean up nice. Hope you're not going to do anything radical to it.

Those are beautiful. I want one!

I can't imagine what we're doing different. Her's how mine turn out. I'll try to help you if I can. :?:

No, I won't be ratting this one. I bought it yesterday for $15. New , it's $439. The rear rim was warped. I have straightened it some , but will probably have to replace the rim. I almost passed on it because there was no charger included. I'm glad I bought it now. A charger is $13 on Ebay.The...

I found these at a flea market. The package says " the best gift you can get for your dog". I doubt that I will use one.I probably wont open the packages. I like anything bicycle related.

Let's see more pics of the bike. The rack is nice. 8)

Beautiful bike. I love old three speeds. Clean it up and be proud of it. :D

I just noticed that a $35 bike is priced at $135 in a college town. Check craigslist in your area and see if I'm right.

Wheels are T. A's never used wooden spokes. Interesting project.

Have any of you guys or gals used one of the single wheeled attachments behind a bike that a "passenger" can ride on? I have only seen one close-up and in person. I wonder if any of them are big enough for an adult to ride on. I see them on Ebay and Craigslist occasionally. :?:

Actually the Next has "Siesta Key" on it. Upon closer inspection I found the crank was loose. I disassembled it ,cleaned and regreased the bearings. When I try to reassemble it it won't stay tight. I am going to replace the lock nut with a new one.The threads on the crank look good.I'm planning...

No rare old bikes today , just riders. Bought 'em cheap. That's the only way I buy. The first one is for my wife. This one just because I didn't have one already. Though the seat is the right colors , I believe it is wrong for this bike.The seat has "roadmaster" on it .I believe the seat for...

I bought this Peugeot cheap today. I aired up the tires and rode it. It rides like you would expect a Peugeot to. Look at the first pic. Something looks funny , doesn't it? The front wheel is smaller than the rear. It's factory. My question is ...WHY ? Anybody ever seen one? Are there other...
