Haven't tried to date it yet, but it's pretty new.... got it off Craigslist for $10, apparently, I saw it just minutes after it was posted, emailed the guy my #, and he called me LITERALLY 25 seconds after I hit send on the email... I had it in the hatch of my car less than an hour later: I...

I've got a stem that I think I'm going to have to replace, but I can't tell how big it is. When I measure it with my cheapo caliper, it's DEAD SMACK at 21.5mm, so I'm not sure if it's 21.1 or 22.2. There are markings on it, and it says Wald 3144. Google turns up an ebay auction that no longer...

just stumbled upon this a few minutes ago, pretty cool idea: http://www.instructables.com/forum/TKSID0UF6PC42RD/

Hey, I know many of your are still wrapping up on your current bikes, but any idea when the next buildoff will occur? If soon, I'll hold off on my next project. Any ideas on rules/frame restrictions, etc? Thanks!

hey! I found a women's road bike (murray, think) from the 70s a few weeks ago at a flea market. It had a internal 3 speed rear hub in it. The bike was in decent shape, a little cleaning, and it would look good. I considered buying it, cleaning it up, and putting it on Craigslist. They wanted...

Sorry to keep bombarding this forum, but I'm pretty new to much of this.. It's very straight forward, but nomenclature and wording are getting me. Anyway, what exactly does crank length determine? IE, I discover that my cranks are pretty badly corroded under the paint, so I've decided to...

Hey everyone, I've got my frame COMPLETELY torn down, except for the kickstand, eith the right tools, it's been really easy so far. I took the frame to a local bike shop o see what tool I needed to remove the BB, and asked them about the kickstand. The guy working was kind of rude (telling my...

Hey everyone! I received my 2 western flyers this weekend, and I have no idea how to idea them at all. I can find quite a bit of information on Schwinns, but not these. I understand they were made by as many as 12 manufacturers, and while it'd be nice to find out who REALLY made them, if...

I'll be getting these Saturday morning... Pretty funny actually, I'm meeting a guy halfway between home and Louisville, and trading him my stripped down moped for these 2 bikes.... he's actually picking up the bikes from current owner tonight: http://louisville.craigslist.org/bik/444446668.html

Hey guys, is this even possible? I know that the chainring side can be done, but sould it be possible to convert the rear cartridge to a single gear easily? I've never dismantle one, but I assume that I could just put some spacers in there or something. Would it be easier to just find a...

Hey Guys, been lurking around for a few days, had checked out the site several months ago, and really admired man of the bikes. I'm a bit of a carguy, but decided I was going to spend too much money on cars, and have started looking for new hobbies. Bike customization might just be it! Gotta...
