i'd look for a kids mountain bike and use the rear wheel, chain, and shifter to make a 5 (or 6 or7. whatever the donor bike had) speed. shouldn't cost much if you find a used one.

the privacy fence was gonna be my second choice suggestion. i've taken most of my pics in 4 places around the house, but i guess you've looked at them already. besides the fence and garage door, my house has white aluminum siding, and the garage has a pale yellow or orange(?) vinyl siding that...

i got one of the cheap harbor freight flux migs. i was kinda spoiled already by being able to to use a better gas mig at work, so i have a hard time with it. if i'm real deliberate with my technique though (such as it is) i can get some decent results. i still tend to take things to work when i...

will there be 20" also? can i mix and match if so? i've wanted to try a pair when i have some spare cash, but nearly everything i build has a 20" front, 26" rear.

i think i'd keep it. at least long enough to experiment with. it kinda looks like it would be good for wheelies if nothing else.

another smallish bike. i don't know how hard they are to find though. huffy venice i was actually about to suggest something like a foot forward electra, but kingfish's suggestion reminded me of this. i've only seen a couple, but neither was very much.

i have to check the decals when i get home, but i think i have the womens version of that bike, in a kinda metallic baby blue. i got it as a parts bike (for the 3sp coaster rear wheel) but since it's a pretty compleat bike i haven't taken it apart yet.

yeah, my honda vtx was made at the ohio plant. engine cast, frame built, and with few exceptions (shocks, forks, some engine internals) all in ohio. i didn't know that when i got it, but i joined a forum for them and some of the more argumentive members like to throw that out when the "real...

i'll let weather or not i've grown up be someone elses debate. i'm goin' ridin'.

these are my two most unusual ones. i don't know what you need though a total cobble together. the disc is off an old ten speed from when they were putting rear disc brakes on them (70's or so?). the wheel is actually a rear wheel that takes a spin on sprocket, turned around with the disc...

i like that. i think i'll have to put it on my "bikes to try" list.

i made one starting with a 24" cruiser that ended up reasonably smaller. might work for her if you find a smaller cruiser. as for your own (or her if you found a smaller one), if you can find or make a seat wih some kind of backrest or rear lip that holds you in place when trying to accelerate...

good looking and also very inspiring. makes me want to work harder on finishing mine.

i have kind of a fear of too many people stopping by and asking about my bikes, so i just don't have them out very often en masse. when i was younger and living with my parents the first time i started collecting up bikes, they were under our porch. people would see them and first there would be...

another thread just remined me. i have the bike it's self, but i'd love to find the bodywork for my hutch/hanebrink aerobike.

this is the one i was guessing also. mine is craked and in pieces so i don't have a pic.

a muscle bike. a schwinn krate, but a huffy "the wheel" would be a really close second.

i think the naming for me came with posting them on the 'net. the only compleat one though is the "'hood cruiser". the rest are more working names for imcompleat projects, like the "sun king/hipster stretch" (a bike that will eventually be yellow and have a few "hipster-ish styling cues)...

if a little welding's ok, i've used roll pins a few times. not sure of the size to say, but there's one that bike cable fits right thought like it was made for it.

nothing of real note. haven't taken pics of any of them since no build is starting for them and there's not much to them otherwise. i've picked up 5-6 bikes since the first of the year. i did pick up a new style manta ray at the end of last year. put a kickstand on my favorite cruiser. it's...
