    1949 Schwinn BoardTrack

    Nearly finished now, just waiting on the headlight, chain, and different crank arms (these hit the frame). Seatpost is getting dropped a well, but it needs a little love and the baby was sleeping :p My buddy made the wood grips for me as I used a 23.8 road type bar and couldn't find any to save...

    Mobilegas drag racer "Glitter and Patina"

    Decided to do up an old Murray girls frame that I've had around for way too long. This build was inspired by a buddy's VW Fastback with the same scheme. He's actually bought the bike since completion :) First a little sex change: Chopped down some bars: Add some new goodies...

    Schwinn World Porteur build up

    I got an old rusty beach bike from a friend that I've been ignoring for a long while now. Decided to do something with it. The fork was bent to heck and every piece of chrome was rusted beyond repair, but the frame had killer patina and the decals looked awesome. Even has faint gold pinstriping...

    "Rusty" bruiser the thrift shop bike

    So it all started with a $10 Goodwill bike and just kind of spiralled from there. It wasn't exactly what I'd planned from the onset, but I'm beyond happy with how it turned out...and .... is it fun to ride!! The idea for the bike stemmed from a powdercoat run a buddy was placing since he...

    Build 2 of 4, Raleigh Record Ace Mixte

    After completing my Steyr build I was pretty pumped to jump onto the next one... (Steyr build: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=66392&p=640870&hilit=steyr#p638018) Another of the 3 gifted bikes, a mid-late 70' Raleigh Record Ace Mixte. It's really in pretty great shape except for the wheels (which were...

    Build 1 of 4, Steyr Clubman

    I was recently gifted 4 bikes by a friend at work who's had them at his beach house since new...stoked! One of those bikes is this cool little Steyr Clubman. It has tons of scuffs and scrapes, but it the decals and color are so cool, I decided to keep the patina and build around it. How I got...

    Value of a perfect original Stingray

    So my uncle has this near perfect all original Schwinn Stingray...I'm talking add air and some grease and it would be dialed...litteraly. It has the original red glitter banana seat, mini apes, 5spd, and even the original Schwinn tires still look good. It's red, with a red seat, but it was up in...

    Diamond frame board track - Varsity gettin some love (DONE!)

    I snagged this little Varsity for $29 at Goodwill specifically so I could use the chrome parts to restore my Dad's Varsity (still has it and bought it at 14 years old). I'm waiting for that to get a profiessional paint job before I start rebuilding. The before (well not really, I didn't take a...
