Also, what freewheel tool should I get? The bike is this style: I see Shimano, Sun Tour 2 pin, BMX, etc on Amazon. I want to switch out the guard piece behind the gears for the new wheels.

Re: 1982 SCHWINN Sidewinder-Restore Neat bike for sure.

Cool, thanks for the response. I want to combine many bike styles all into this next one here. The bike is a grayish blue frame with some Firestone stickers on it. I think I want to go white and maybe sky blue and leave the frame how it is. Should be intersting.

Can you use a BMX 1 pc. crank on an older five speed? I want something I can use with a chainwheel of my choice. Right now the bike has an old 1 piece crank similar to other 70s bikes. It looks like it will work, but I don't have any parts to test with before I order.

This bike is so awesome I had to show the wife.

That Trek is a pretty rad looking bike. It looks like the offspring of a BMX and a road bike.

Nice!

I think it looks ill.

I sold the Specialized and Mongoose. These are my last three BMXs. I have had many, but now I'm down to the Free Agent. I'm going to ride it until I can find an older cruiser. There are some awesome bikes in here.

I've recovered a few seats with an old shirt. I tied the cloth really tight on the bottom, and no one was the wiser.

I discovered this site last night and spent hours looking through all of the builds. For years, people have made me out to be a packrat because I save up so many bikes. Sometimes I pick them out of the rubbish. If someone offers me a free bike I take it and do something with it. Now I have about...
