This is my 1st gen S&M Challenger. I picked up the frame and fork from another forum, and used parts from here and there to build the race bike I would've built in the early/mid 90s if I could've afforded it. It's not quite era correct, but it's close enough for me, all the parts are late 80s...

I just got this yesterday, it's a 2010 Eastern Night Train. I've been looking to get into dirt jumping for a little while now, and I'd been doing some research and came across this complete for cheap. It was advertised as a color screwup. The forks weren't supposed to be purple, and it has a...

A few years ago, a buddy of mine from the Dusty Spokes BC passed a whole bunch of rusty old project bikes along to me when he was moving. Among them was a 1958 Columbia f/f that was rusted solid. It took me forever to loosen up all the parts enough to get the crank and forks off of it. Then I...

I haven't been around too much in the past couple of months. I spent all summer working 2 jobs. Between 60+ hours a week running a bar and 20 hours a week as a bike mechanic in a little shop that specialized in vintage bikes I had no time to work on my own stuff... Then, I moved from NY to...

I was talking to this guy in my bar a few months ago about BMX stuff. He was riding around on an early 90s Diamondback in the middle of winter, with like a foot of snow on the ground... So we got to talking, and he mentioned he had an old GT in his garage that he couldn't ride because it was...

I'm going to go ahead and throw my hat in to the 'Liner buildoff. My plan is to do an Ed Roth inspired version of a Spaceliner. I'm starting with a chrome frame, and I have a bunch of parts lying around. Haven't decided how nuts its going to be, yet. I've gotta dig the bike out of storage...

I just picked up a truck load of BMX bikes and parts off CL for $30. 2 more or less complete bikes, a few frames, some spare wheels, and a box of parts. Got this cool Columbia Freestyle, missing seat post and seat, but otherwise, pretty nice shape, and a really cool looking frame: Also got...

I found these on CL today, and got them for next to nothing. Anybody know if they're worth anything at all? 2 1984 Murray BMX bikes: A very complete track certified: And a less complete street system (missing pedals, caliper brakes, seat, pads)

I got my first big boy bike! Its a 1975 Honda CB 750. I've been looking for a dirt cheap, complete one with a title for the last couple years, and have had no luck. Either too pricey, or too much of a basket case to be worth it, but yesterday, I finally picked one up! $200 for a titled...

Dusty Spokes last big run of the year is going to be the night of Saturday October 25. It is a late night bar cruise, so 21+ only!!!! We generally start about 10 pm and ride (and drink!) until 4 am or so. If you're in the area and interested in attending, contact me here, or contact the Dusty...

I had a lousy day at work today,and I needed to blow off some steam. So I busted out my sawzall, a 3 pound sledge, and a torch and started making a chopper. This is just a really quick mock up, I haven't welded anything yet. It started out as a cheapo cantilever frame that had a broken steer...

Okay, this article is a few months old by now, but it took me this long to bother looking for it on line. Anyway, for some reason, I can't get the article to load, but here's a link to the cover of the magazine (I'm al the way on the right with my Wildcat), and the beginning of the article...

It's a '68 Stingray Junior, got the original bars and front fender too. Came from Craigslist. It's in very good shape, other than minor paint chipping. There's no rust anywhere, and the original tires are bald, but still hold air!

Okay, the Hillbomber has been finished for over a week now, but between work and everything, I didn't have time to take final pictures. I rode around Kingston last week, and decided that I like it well enough without the fenders, so I just went ahead and mounted the head badge and called it...

http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/bik/790640882.html I don't know anything about Pierce Arrow bicycles. Is it worth taking a look? Is this thing actually worth anything? Anyone?

I went down to Philly to visit friends yesterday, and picked up three sting rays off craigslist. Got a Junior, a Lil' Chik for the girl, and a Scrambler. Junior is rough, but almost complete. Wheels need respoking and the sissybar is bent real bad... The Lil' Chik needs the rear hub...

Okay, my girl just bought this Dunelt british girls bike for next to nothing and I was going to chop it up and rat it out for her. I got as far as taking it apart and was waiting for the heat to break so I could sand the frame down... Then I just saw the same bike on Craigslist for $200 in...

I just came in from mowing my lawn and it finally hit me that this may be getting out of hand. So yeah, this is what my house looks like right now, and just behind me out of range of camera are a pile of bmx parts, another pile of wheels & tires, 3 bmx frames, and my Columbia. This is just...

I'm trying to take the 3 piece crankset off of a Dunelt Britsh girl's frame. Any pointers on how to remove the crankset? Never worked on a 3 piece before, and I don't want to screw anything up. Thanks!

Okay, I finally won the frame I was after today on the ebay, so I'm in if its not too late. It's a Rollfast, looks like late 40s. Got some plans, I'll know better when I actually have the frame in my possession. Please tell me I'm not too late to join in the fun!
