aaaaaaaaaaaand I'm in. I purchased this bike at the University Of Washington Police department annual bike sale. I waited in line for an hour and 45 minutes for the doors to open at 9:00AM. Roughly 200 bikes available and I was 65-80 back in line. Each person was allowed to buy 2 complete bikes...

My co worker spotted a little vintage appearing bmx bike at a goodwill outlet store. $5.00 and it packed it home for me. The lables on the frame say Bike King. It has 16" freewheel, 3 pc cranks, front and rear hand brakes. The gusset at the headset looks to have a heart or a spade in it. I'll...

Here is what I am starting with, a Sears Screamer.

Sears Screamer

These fell into my lap yesterday afternoon. probably going to sell them off. 5 speed Corvette and a womens Panther.

Sadly I've moved back to Washington State due to a divorce after 18 years of being married. Anywho, a buddy of mine owns a LBS and has me helping out, and is returning the favor. He pointed out a 1961 Schwinn Corvette hanging from the rafters in his shop after hearing about my new found "love"...

is being held at Threads (423 Williams St) Sunday the 21st. From Noon till 5pm.

I just got this bike back after doing a ton of work to it. The kid just beat this thing 5 ways to Sunday. My son watched him ghost ride it off of ramps and the whole bit. I might just junk it, makes me mad I did this for a child in need and never got a thank you from him, or his super delightful...

I just picked it up last weekend. The net has some stuff in German, but that is all I've found. Any input from the local masters?

I hit the friggin' JACKPOT! Went into Corpus Christi to pick up some unwanted bikes, I came home 3 hours later with a truckload! (for a S-10) The Rampar is built by Raliegh 1950's? Heidemann Works Rotorjet What do you think?

I kept it very simple, not much of a build as much as a makeover. to this

I picked up this "slightly crispy" OCC chopper from a neighbor that is moving away. From just a quick inventory, it looks like I need a rear wheel and tire, steering stem, bottom bracket, and handlebars. I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with it yet. I might just part it out as is.

I had to think of a ridiculous name for this ridiculous project. It started life as a purple Roadmaster women's mountain bike that had an overdose of "patina". I ended up cutting the stem to remove the fork. PB blaster is now working magic on the remainder of the stem so the fork can be used...

I just grabbed this up. I gave $30.00 for it, but I like how it looks.

I have had this old Savoy around for a few months. The rust flake on the handlebars has cut my hands more than once, and I'm just tired of moving it around. I have also had an early 70's Vista Sophisticate for even longer. No one seems to appreciate "patina" here in south Texas. Anywho, I...

I found this in the trash with a bunch of blackberry stems around the rear tire. Tires flat, just laying there to go to the big recycler in the sky. I tossed the thing into my truck and took her home. Shot air into the tires (still holding) and cut the stickers out of the rear end. I took her...

gotten stopped by the local news paper reporter for an interview? My 10 year old and I went for a quick spin at the local beach park on our tall bikes this morning. Many people would shout and wave, drivers would honk and wave. It was super cool to see my boy with a huge grin on his face. There...

I've been doing some thinking about joining the build off. I found my "I'm in" part today. Still flipping back and forth on what frame to use. This will be a build in the memory of my mom, who I lost in November of 2003. I still think about her everyday. She was just 52 years old. I just joined...

She bought me tickets to see Chevelle tomorrow night in Corpus Christi! My birthday isn't until next month :mrgreen:
