I'm putting together an old US made Huffy for my 11 year old cousin (her other bike was stolen and my sister said tough luck! :mrgreen: ) the stock crank seems really short, even for a teen. it's a 1 piece crank and i see i could buy new cranks from several places for around $10. they come...

on a drum brake front hub, does it matter if the braking mechanism is on the right or left side of the wheel?

recently came into a Worksman trike. Single speed, drum brake front (no rear brakes). steel platform. i took it for the front wheel/hub. no rear fenders or chain guard. a little rust on the platform and the paint has seen better days. fork is not original (substituted with an oddly bent...

so I'm retiring my early-mid 90's ChroMo Stumpjumper and building up a '99 Trek I got in a load of bikes. The frame is a lovely metallic green, and most of the stuff I used building up the Specialized will transfer over. I did drop $90 on a RockShox XC28 fork (new), gonna need a new bottom...

so i got a '99 Trek 830 AL in a load yesterday from a Hutterite community near here. The frame is super straight, a pretty metallic green, and i'm guessing lighter than my Specialized CroMo hardtail. Thinking of swapping over everything I can from the Specialized (the frame geometry is tough...

Hey fellas, I'm working through a build in my head. I have a Schwinn Fastback with the big ol' mag crank sprocket. On a non-geared bike, what's the pedal effort like with these? In my mind, It's my son riding it (he's only 2 now, so I've got time! :mrgreen: ) but bikes aren't a lot of fun...

I know what the coaster is, and how it brakes, but do the plastic/nylon brake on the rim? I've got an old Schwinn Fastback that I have plans for, and BMX mags would be snazzy. It has cantilever posts on the fork, and none on the seat stays. so, coaster on the back, none on the front, or can i...

SOOOOOO cool! http://laughingsquid.com/handlebar-mini ... andlebars/

so i've got a frame that was brushed with house paint in it's former life. it's pretty chalky, rubs off easy, but the brush strokes and how they're wearing is SO cool, i'd like to preserve the look. would a thorough waxing work, or is there a clear that would preserve house paint like i've...

I'll get some better photos & the number tonight, but what's your guess based on this? heath

I love to tinker, and bikes are a great outlet! I started out with the 1960 Schwinn (Tiger? Speedster?) I got in a pickup load of junk bikes. I've been running around the neighborhood with it for two years now. Then I put together the Western Flyer for my mom. It's powder coated, lots...
