Just got back this week from my 4th trip to Nepal and man, there are a lot of bicycles over there! This picture was taken from my 2012 trip in the town of Kakarvitta, a border town with India. This is the typical type of bike you see over there. Not sure how effective the mechanical front...

Is a bike every truly finished? Probably not, but aside from the impossible-to-find early chain guard and some other small details, I think it's finished enough for some decent pictures to be posted of it. This bike gets ridden multiple times per week. I'll probably cry the first time it gets...

Anyone ever seen, have pictures of, or own the Swingbike branded BMX (model MX-500 or MX-500A)? The below picture/promo is the only thing I have seen on it. http://swingbike.byethost24.com/bobhufford/swbmx.html

Proud of my uncle's restoration of this Diamondback II. Can't wait to see it in person at the Swap In the South next Saturday!

Did Krates (including remakes) ever come without the drum-brake hub in the front? Reason I ask is I bought what was listed as a 1999 Krate wheel/tire combo on eBay to use on my Swingbike. Got the wheel and it wouldn't work (3/8" axle instead of 5/16", and the hub was too wide), but I did take...

Nothing terribly exciting, as I'm planning to take this bike back to a relatively original state, but thought I'd post some pics. I got the itch to own a bicycle after getting my 3-year-old a bike for Christmas. A few weeks ago I bought my wife a big-box Huffy cruiser, and then started...

First off, I'm a total newb to bikes, so up-front apologies for my ignorance. I'm going through and restoring an original Swingbike. It currently has a 40t chain ring, but I am planning to put a new Schwinn Lucky 7 chain ring on it (36t). I understand that I will probably need a new, shorter...

I'm new to the forum, and new to riding bikes as an adult. This place was recommended to me by Brent Wulfenstein as a resource for parts and info. My wife and I bought my daughter (she's 3) a wally-world special for Christmas and soon got the itch to have bicycles of our own. A few weeks ago...
