    Price of powder coating?

    Most shops will take the PC that you give them if its not a stock color. There are a few really good on-line companies that offer all sorts of colors, sheens, etc.. If doing a frame, forks, etc. Its best to buy 2 lbs to be safe.

    2015 FELT RED WOLFE CRUISER - FULL REVIEW

    Cool bike, but I don't get the forks which leads me to believe he really didn't have much to say on the build. Felt:.. "Here's the bike." Mike.."Cool" The forks do not go along with how this guy cherishes old school bikes is all. I would think that if he had input he would have put the kibosh on...

    Clear Coat Sucks

    ^^^ What he said, I see so many people clear things that do not need it. Single stage paints work just fine, it's really only when you go two stage that you need clear. Plus, most clears that come out of a rattle can yellow after a few years. Heck, I have a single stage paint job on one of my...

    ^^^, what he said. Same thing on my porucho, just grab a long 2x4 and bend the drop on one side, then flipping and doing the other.

A person emails and says it's sold that he will take it, but someone else will pick it up, I say ok he says the person can't pick it up...

    Chip Foose bikes

    The red bike is cool, the black, whatever. The only thing I like on the black bike is the fender.

    Was drag racing really that big?

    My parents took us to every drag race for years, sears point, freemont, etc. Plus, they took us to all sorts of car races at the same venues as well as laguna. I wanted a muscle bike so bad back then and they bought me one with the big old shifter mounted right where one could lose all forms of...

    Cool bikes for kids

    Buy a balance bike, no pedals. My son had a strider at age 2, at age 4 I put him on a 16" bike with not training wheels and he was pedaling away in 5 mins. His GP's bought him on of those POS spiderman bikes and he never rode it. But I was able to take the seat, and wheels off the bike and put...

    Coaster brake sprockets

    I have a super fat wheel and all of the sprockets except one is loose when I slide it on the hub, is this normal. They all fit, but the ones that are a little loose click when I pedal, are sprockets all not created equal?

    Ergonomics.....or Doesn't anyone know how that seat posts actually can be adjusted?? ??

    If you are under 6-2 then there is no way you are riding my Ruff porucho. I basically lie down on the bike, and let me tell you, it's not very comfortable on rides over 3 miles. This bike is all form over function the way I have it setup. Sure is cool looking. Then there is my friend who has...
