    Moving to Pennsylvania

    My wife took a job at Penn State, so in two weeks there will be three Texans residing in the State College area, any good places to ride or hang out? Good places to go four wheeling? Hike? We like to be an active family. Heck, anybody hiring? I'm going to job hunting as well.

    24/20 Buzz Bike

    I've had this bike for a while, ride it a while in the as purchased state, then decided that it was time to redo it. Had it painted over a year ago, got busy, stashed it in the closet and didn't touch it again until this morning. It's been painted late model Camaro fusion green, similar to the...

    Army rat build

    Picked up this bike off Craigslist a couple weeks ago. I recently bought my wife a beach cruiser and I thought maybe I needed one to ride with her. All my bikes are bmx and muscle bikes. I was told the frame was a Mircagi, not sure, just liked the lines of it. I had a set of ape hangers left...

    I mainly mess with muscle bikes and bmx stuff, so I spend most my time on bikes getting weird looks and have had more than one eletist bicycle snob look down at me when buyingg odds and ends at one of the local bicycle shops, because I ride "kid bikes", needless to say I no longer spend my hard...

    Great weekend find, 1984 Blue Max

    Been wanting a Blue Max for a while, didn't matter if it was a gusset or non gusset frame. I picked up this '84 this weekend, decent chrome and decals, going to clean it up and throw some parts on it and ride it. Have a set of blue Arayas that should look good on it, need to dig up pretty...

    '73 Stingray BMX build

    I've been wanting a Stingray built BMX style for a while, after a while of searching I decided that I was going to build one myself, luckily I had a '73 frame hanging from the rafters of my shed. I wanted it to have a survivor feel, so that's why it's not all cleaned up. The finish on the...

    Just picked this up last night, it's a 1951 Chevy 5 window short bed, been looking for another one of these, I sold my '52 shortly after I got married 3 1/2 years ago.

    1982 Murray X24

    I think this bike fits well into the rat rod bmx thing, the chrome isn't going to clean up perfect, but good enough for it to make a fun old school cruiser, I've got some left over parts from some other builds to throw on this one, this will be a bike won't mind throwing in the back of the truck...
