Hmmmm.....maybe it's time to take a head on into something. I like how it ended up. Probably doesn't steer so good. :lol:

Hmmm.....$79.99 plus a propane tank, not low buck in my book, but certainly more cost effective. Can also heat up a cast iron skillet on the grill or oven and bring it out with you, just don't fall on it :D :shock:

That's rad. Throwback to the 1800s up front, ultra space age in the rear... :mrgreen:

I have Missouri!

That's actually a really good looking "new" cruiser. 99% of the new breed of production cruisers make me go "bleggghh!!" It looks very stout. 8)

One Glass Jar or Metal Coffee can (or several) Emergency candles. Melt a dot of wax on the bottom of the container, stick the candle in. In a few minutes you have a tiny rocket of heat. Any candles work, but if you get actual "emergency" candles they seem to work better. Wal-Mart has big...

What badge?

The red mags are a pair of Lesters that are bound for a muscle bike as soon as I get a decent slick for one. The Arai brake on the girls bike came apart, looks pretty good inside but the outer shell is machine pressed to the 28 hole axle. This is going to take some creativity, but I think I...

File these under failed 80's concepts. Hopefully the Arai drum brakes will detach and be usable independent of the hub (28 hole). Would love to use them. Otherwise 24x3's or on a 24" Klunker I had in the works already. Murray Street Machine 20/24. :roll: His and hers. Drums on rear only...

....and if anyone finds 24tpi dies in 1" (or any for that matter) diameter, get them. The only ones I have ever seen are bike specific tools and they are big $$$$.

Don't worry about what is blasphemy, or what is called what. Quality frame, you scored on it, it deserves some good paint to protect it and it will look great even if you just do what it takes to make it rideable. I wouldn't restore it, it costs enough with a complete bike to start with, you...

Strip it, prep it, self-etching primer it, wet sand it, filler primer it, index coat it over that with a light coat of flat black and then carefully wet sand that off with 600 grit wet paper without taking off anything but the black, wash it, clean it with prep-all and take it to a body shop...

Oh, that looks so cool. Digging the "stand" also. Get some of that aluminum tape and sneak it up inside/under the seat for some backing if you can get it in between the horsehair and leather (good luck) or just try to not sit down! :D

26tpi (threads per inch) on 3/8 front axles with bolts (not quick release) 24tpi rear with coaster brakes 3/8 bolt on axles There are no stupid questions my friend. I wish I had asked more of them before runing several projects. :wink:

So, since you got a $75 Schwinn (you are right Sensor) frame for $20, do the right thing and have it media blasted to check for bondo, self etch prime it and have it painted with some hardener in the paint. On your way to a NICE bike there. Now just find a complete girl's donor for the rest...

OH! IT'S BRITTAIN'S BEST BIKE. IT MUST BE WORTH $1000!!!! IT EVEN HAS TIRES!!!! :wink: :LOL: Sorry, the KC guys will get this. Someone posts this poor decriepit Rudge on the KC Craigslist periodically and does all but say "Hey, I'm a complete nutbag" in his ad, insists his bike is worth...

Oh, and WWZ is the greatest book ever written.

I get a little too excited at the prospect of mowing down some brain craving corpses.... :mrgreen:

Is there an emoticon for projectile vomiting from jealousy? Holy carrot cake, sell me the green one.
