Couldn't pass this one up even though its another girls frame. From the date code/ serial# on the bottom bracket I believe it to be a 1945 Schwinn. I think there are alot of replaced and missing parts like here. There should be a different fork for the missing truss rods, right? And...

Just finished this one (sort of). I plan on posting a build thread for anyone interested a little later.

Hey :!: Has anyone out there rebuilt an old English Perry hub before? I cant figure out how to even get started :? Are there some special tools needed to do this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have finished Autumns bike with a little reluctance. Some of the details I wasn't to sure about but I think it looks pretty good for my first competition bike. I have barely been into this whole scene (a little under a year) but find it to be an great outlet for my personal creativity. I...

Here is a little event that is sure to be fun if you live in the Northern Illinois Southern Wisconsin area http://www.tourdenorthend.com/ Lots of prizes, contests, and give aways.

After much contemplation and apprehension I have decided to join in this buid off. I have been working on this bike since the build off was announced but wasn't sure if I could even contend with some of the more seasoned vets of this community. But then I thought to myself, it's not really about...

I recently picked up a set of Arayas with the stamping on them clearly saying they are 24x1 3/8 but when I went to put some 24" tires on them the tires were too small. Has anyone else out there run into this kind of problem or am I not understanding this tire and wheel sizing issue :? can...

Well it took me six long months for this one in between my busy schedule but I am pleased with my first complete rebuild. Thanks to this site and all the people on it I feel pretty confident for future projects. Here are some pics from start to finish on my 50 something J.c Higgins Flightliner...

Been lookin' at paint sprayers and media blasters online and there are so many choices out there. I don't know a thing about these items but want to purchase them and learn how to use them for my projects. I went into Harbor freight tools to get a bench vise and started looking at theirs. They...

This is my first project and I am in the process of removing all of the paint and am considering leaving it with the bare metal look as a finished look. I know that it will probably rust faster that way so I was wondering what one would suggest to coat the metal with to keep that look. :?:

I received a '92 schwinn cruiser as a trade for a small job I did for one of my clients ( i'm a contractor by trade). Thats what got me started in this new found fetish for these old school cruiser style bikes. Now I'm all over the web looking at pics searching craigslist and stopping at old...
