    Skull Skates Cruiser

    Very nice! I think Kona may have "borrowed" some design cues from them. The 2009 Humu is looking good. Check it out. http://www.konaworld.com/09_humu_c.cfm

    Starfire - Orange Hot Rod's significant other

    Re: Starfire - Orange Rat Rod's significant other I dig it! I always wanted one of the No Name Customs and now it looks like their site is no longer. :(

    My Pseudo Klunker

    Will do. There's also a totally stock one on ebay right now. Not affiliated with it just passing on info. I stumbled on it yesterday. They don't come up often.

    The Power of Coca Cola

    I bought this old Rollfast headbadge on ebay last week thinking it might look cool on my bike. I tried cleaning it a couple different way and got nowhere. Then I soaked it in Coke for 5 hours and look at it now. It just wiped clean.

    My Pseudo Klunker

    Bought this 2001 Trek Clyde about a year ago for $100.00 in riding condition. Came stock with a four speed nexus. Added Brooks saddle, new tires, MKS pedals and brake levers. My nephew picked it up for me in Brooklyn and had it shipped from New Jersey to Phoenix by a local bike shop. The...

    Got a Rollfast...Now What?

    Rolling fast on this baby might be a death wish at present but that's what I'm aiming for. Haven't had time to really look at it yet. Checked the tires and they are 26x2.125 so I'll probably have to decide what I like better, fenders or fatter tires. Like I said before, my original desire was...

    Got a Rollfast...Now What?

    Thanks for the feedback. When I set out to get an old cruiser, my plan was to strip it down and make it look mean. But I don't know if I can bring myself to do it to this one. I plan to try and refit the fenders. I was surprised they rubbed since these tires don't seemto be that big. Maybe...

    Got a Rollfast...Now What?

    Got this Rollfast on Craigslist. Paid too much but I was blinded by her beauty. Now that I've got her, I can see all her flaws. 1. Frame may be tweaked cause I can't seem to get the rear tire to center. When I got her she had fenders on with mismathced tires. I put some Schwalbe Returners...

    Introducing Myself

    Funny you should mention rain. We actually got a rare shower today which brought the tems down a bit. Normally it's pretty brutal at this time of year and I tend to hide away in the cool AC. I live in west Phoenix in a developing area. Few bike lanes and lots of gravel make commuting by bike...

    Introducing Myself

    I have no license due to a visual impairment called optic nerve atrophy. I'm extremely near sighted and it is not correctable with glasses although I do wear glasses that improve my vision just slightly. I do see well enough for cycling and frequently commute by bike. I'm also an avid scuba...

    Introducing Myself

    Hello all, My name is Dave. I've been lurking around here for about a week and I think I've viewed every photo on the site by now. Love these old bikes and all bikes in general. It helps that I can't drive due to a visual impairment so coming up on 40 years old and never having a license...
