OK, Mr. SmartyPants, point taken ;) But I sometimes shoulder my bike up stairs and would like to keep it reasonably light. And hey, if I get my bike more ridable maybe I'll lose some of that 210. Thank you, slowriderz. I read some of the posts about your seatposts and all were favorable. Looks...

Thanks, guys! So that solid seat post looks like it would hold up my 210 lbs. Is it bad heavy though? And yeah, the mtn bike handle bars have crossed my mind. had one in hand yesterday that might fit... I love the way my little Murray handles; it's a blast to ride in areas that include...

Hey, people! Been out of the game for a while with ticker-related issues and wondered if anyone has come up with the ultimate easy seat post setback solution for cruiser bikes while I wasn't looking? Gotta get up high and a little to the back on my Murray rust ride. That bike is so much fun to...

Woah! That is one nice build, UncleStretch! Bravo!

cool project! but you do such nice work - will you be able to leave it ratty? yeah, those vertical dropouts may give you some grief. you may need a deralliuer or some kind of chain tensioner.

muy buena!

rolled over 52 last month. i feel pretty good now, though. which i attribute to getting back on a bicycle a year or two ago. gradually lost 30 pounds, etc. i was surprised at how many elder folk are here, but i feel inspired by it!

Yes!

Nice work!

You must have quite a stable, Steve. That's a cool one there... love those sturdy-looking racks. Are those dedicated braze-ons behind the seat for the rack?

Re: Malvern Star 2 Speed Hipster (Warning, credit rod content) tres cool! you have my attention. i'm curious about that hub, for one thing.

looks like Scrumblero had a similar idea in this same section. check out his pink Mrs. Murray build.

Re: Penny cool bike! the fenders look good as is. if you didn't do another thing to it you'd still have a majorly cool ride,

very, very nice! i haven't seen those mounts before - that's a really clean looking solution. and the black engine looks good on that bike. great job, man!

that's a nice bike, Venice. you're gonna have to slap a little Morini in there for a "dream" project like this!

very nice!

i see those ads all the time, and the posters at the bank, but i've never seen an actual bike. don't know what they are. i'm thinking someone told me they saw one at the Railroad Park in B'ham. off topic, but there's a nifty little bike co-op on Birmingham's Southside. check it out if you're...

i've lost around 30 pounds since i started riding somewhat regularly over a year ago. i still eat too much, though. i set small goals and did it over a long period of time, but i've lost and kept it off and it feels good! lot of good advice and encouraging words in this thread. good luck to all...

i think iRide nailed it: that thing is definitely a Mantis. "The Mantis" or "El Mantis."

nice, nice, nice!
