    Vista Torino 500

    A friend of mine dropped this off for a shine and lube. Looks pretty original. I’m just going to clean up a few things and slap some fresh grease in it. Sadly the top tube decal is kinda jinky.

    1974 Ross Compact Deluxe 3-speed MUSCLE BIKE

    A good friend of mine dropped his 74 Ross Compact off to me for some work. I was told do my thing and he didn’t want to see it until it was done. I would have entered it into the build off BUT I’d already started it a few weeks before. The main inspiration was my 74 Ross. I didn’t want to just...

    71 Schwinn Collegiate Manta Clone build

    I picked this up in a trade a year ago. It’s finally made its way onto my bike stand. I had some parts from another failed/stalled project laying around so I mocked it up today. The plan is simple, down and dirty. I’m only fixing and lubing what I have to. Ride and repair as needed! The paint is...

    Montgomery Wards cruiser/middleweight

    I saw this on Facebook Market place today. Luckily it was close to where i work and was able to grab it on my way. I’m not sure what it is or what I have planned for it yet. I just like how these frames look and had to have it.

    66 Schwinn Typhoon 2 speed

    Picked this up a few years ago and it’s been basically sitting. Nothing fancy just a nice solid typhoon. I love these bikes. I’ll give her a bubble bath and some fresh lube. I’m kinda scared to pop that rear hub apart. It shifts fine but it’s in need of some fresh grease.

    Ross Apollo 5 Speed

    A good friend of mine picked this up at a local estate sale. He dropped it off to me for a bubble bath and lube. I love these bikes and was sad to see it go home. This bike looked like it was barely ridden. I was covered in some crusty yellow gunk. I blew it all apart and shined her up. I wish i...

    1957 schwinn tiger

    Picked this up at the all Ford show in Carlisle Pa today. I had been kind of looking for a Jaguar or a Corvette 3speed project bike. I'm pretty excited to clean this bike up and ride it like I stole it !

    1951 Schwinn

    I’m finally looking at this bike to see what I can create with it. She’s rusty! But I found paint underneath that rust. I was surprised by that. No solid plans yet. The seat post came out. The gooseneck is being stubborn. More to come ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1974 Ross ••finished••

    I love this bike! It rides great and I think it looks pretty kool. Special thanks to @hamppea for hooking me up with a kool seat. With out this seat this project would have failed. I’d also like to thank @ind-chuckz for the sweet rear rim. I’ve put roughly 60 miles on it so far! [emoji41] On...

    74 Ross Compact

    History of this bike. My mother bought this bike for me. I was working nightshift when she sent me a text asking if I wanted this bike. I wasn’t too mad once I saw that lovely pea green and cool fenders. I immediately saw a low buck fastback/mantaray style build. Theme of this bike The theme...

    Build off parts needed. Speedometer Ross reflector

    I’m looking for a working speedometer for a 26” bike. Mid 70’s or newer. I’m looking for something inexpensive. If it’s rare it’s not for this build. I’m also looking for a rear reflector and bracket from a Ross Compact see attached pic. Thanks!! Keith Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
