Torker is well-known in the BMX world, but only started making cruisers and other bikes from 2000 on. Here's a shot of my Torker Custom build. The only original parts are the frame and chainguard, which are from 2004.

The Electra Bicycle Company makes cruisers and townies that all have 'flatfoot technology.' This is the same thing as what the OP did with his bike; putting a steep angle on the seat stay so people have their feet flat on the ground when they stop. This way, the seat can be set lower, and the...

The El Guapo is a standard 26-inch cruiser and can accommodate 24 x 3, 26 x 2.125 and 26 x 2.35 tires. 24 x 3 tires are around the same height as 26 x 2.125 tires, so they can both work. However, you will need a set of 26 inch rims if you want to change to 26 inch tires. I hope that isn't too...

The EBF group rides in San Diego are on the second Sunday of each month, but will be different in October due to Tour de Fat. The most recent one was on Sept. 11, and info about the Oct. ride should be up within a week. You can find info about group rides and post pics of your bikes at...

They were introduced just over a year ago at $89.99. They promptly sold out and have had trouble keeping them in stock. Felt raised the price to $129.99 around the beginning of this year, and now they're up to $150. I have an aluminum Felt 'ratrod' style tank bike and love it, but I'm glad I...

I'd snatch one up right away if I were you. They're usually out of stock. You can always use it or sell it later.

A whopping $150 for Felt Abraham Linkage forks now, if they're actually in stock. They bumped the price from $90 to $120 and now to $150. Guess I won't be getting a set now. Too bad because they look sick, but I'm not paying that much for any set of forks!

Also, steer clear of Micargi bikes at all costs! They will cost you more in the long run due to frequent maintenance and part replacement.

The Sports Chalet occasionally has great prices on Electra bikes, and right now they have a sale going on for the aluminum-framed Electra Coaster 3i bikes! Both the men's and women's models are on sale for $299 instead of their usual price of $350. Honestly, most other sellers price this bike at...

I think that if you started eating 4-5 small meals spread throughout the day, there would be no reason to stop/limit biking. Biking isn't the problem.

Just an FYI that the men's and women's aluminum-frame Electra Coaster 3i is on sale for $299 at Sports Chalet, and it's a vastly superior bike.

Even when you're broke...

After watching my brother struggle to mount my Electra Rally Sport with his surfboard attached, I'm going to build my Electra Betty step-through frame into a ratrod. No wonder so many surfers ride around on step-through bikes.

That is one Sick lowrider! It's truly excellent work! The tubing reminds me of the older Monark Silver Kings.

Thanks Tater! I used a mild solvent and a non-scratch dish pad to get the letters off.

Soft soap and a non-scratch dish pad (not a sponge) works wonders, but isn't very effective against the big chunks.

Funny how the best-looking Felt Troy Lee bikes are the ones that have been custom painted. The original paint job is hideous! FYI, Felt sells an aluminum frame 'starter kit.' http://www.feltbicycles.com/USA/2011/Cr ... uiser.aspx Here's my custom Felt Troy Lee Spray 3i:

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I'm going to pass on this one.

Can anyone help me ID this Western Flyer? It's listed as a 'Sun Racer,' but I've never heard of that. Most, if not all, of the decals are on top of the paint job. Some are peeling off. It looks like the front fender was painted over chrome and is flaking off. I'd like to know the approximate...
