What I have vs what it should look like. Interested in any original or close-enough matching parts. Capitol Region of NY.

From the same hoarder clean-up as my other thread today, this beautiful non-razor kick scooter was also just in a heap that could have ended up going to a scrapper. All original parts, still some traces of mold flashing on the tires they're so new, and all it needed was a bit of realignment on...

Local guy was clearing out his hoarder dad's property, and I found this. Still had the cardboard and bubble wrap on the top and downtubes. Belt drive works great and no apparent dry rot. No tank, seat, or front end, but LG said he'd keep an eye out for them as he thins the piles out. Now to...

So I've already been known for ages amongst my friend group as an easy mark to unload rescued/exotic/otherwise weird animals on, but now I've apparently also become That Person for weird bikes and bike-adjacent items. (How I got a Huffy Green Machine and a 18/12 Penny Farthing.) Anyone know...

Are there any conversion kits to change a two-wheeled rear axle into a single-wheel drive configuration? Looking at an adult pedal kart and want to know if I could turn it into a semi-recumbent tadpole without major welding and fabrication. ...and eventually, drop a BBSHD into the bottom...

What are the average depth, width, and spacing for a 26x4 fatbike's track end dropouts? (Dolomite, Fracture, Krusher, etc) Working on a conversion from vertical dropouts. Also looking for measurements/templates for scaling up a BMX frame's dropouts from 26 or 27.5 to 29er wheels. Help, as...

Scored some glorious roadkill today (pictures later; it's miserable out). 26x4 fat single-speed MTB. Disc brake ready with only a couple parts missing (rear brake looks perfect, front lever, cable, and hardware other than the disc are MIA). Everything on it still looks to be in the correct...

Felt Monster Cruiser - I have the following, seeking all other parts. Do not need to be original, as I believe this build has shared geometry and parts with the Felt Guapo. If you have anything in Monster Energy Green instead of black, I'll gladly take a look. Frame Saddle Chainguard Kickstand...

Diamondback Edgewood Hybrid. Upgraded with better brakes, an 8-speed internal geared hub (Shimano Alfine), and a TSDZ2 electric mid-drive. The electric conversion is powered with EGO Power battery packs I already had for our mower, snow blower, and string trimmer. I found a 3d print for an...

Looking for some hardware recommendations for this freak in the making. Pacific "Assault" Scooter I want to turn into an electric chariot. Picked up a salvaged kids' bike just for the 16" suspension fork on it, going to get the grippiest tire possible, and put it on a Grin or Golden Motors...

Please excuse the atrocious pictures, it was dark and rainy when I got home, but I just wanted to document it SOMEHOW. (Throwing in some photos from the build process since the pretty colors got washed out.) Mechanically 'finished' for the moment, but I desperately need to raise the handlebars...

Couldn't resist this pretty thing. Promo built on the Felt Guapo cruiser platform This will be my first time building from the frame up. Where do I start for a checklist of parts? Is this type of frame good for anything other than beach cruising? Any ideas and advice are welcome. (:

Got a lovely front porteur rack for pocket change, and I've been thinking of changing the front fork on my e-hybrid for a while now anyway. Primary use for this bike is daily rider and errand runner. Don't really need the suspension anymore, and have been thinking of upgrading to disc brakes...

So I'm fabricating a mounting plate for Milwaukee Packout gear, using Unbeaten Path Designs' 'Versamount' adapters. Putting on the low-profile items is fine, but moving up to something like a cooler, backpack, or even the compact toolbox leaves me having to set it about halfway down the rack to...

Check the Gallery for my current configuration of my electric 29er penny farthing. Getting ready to go bare down to the frame, powder coat, and rebuild with a pedal hub front end (disc brakes, freewheel). Even odds I end up dropping a Golden Motors 12" hub drive in the rear wheel as well, but...

An experimental build of mine. Photos of semi-latest build and video of the maiden voyage attached. Scratch-built from some surplus frame piping, cruiser and BMX bicycle parts, and old kick scooter parts. Welding was done by a friendly student at the local welding school. The front wheel is an...

Glad to finally be here in earnest, after lurking for several months. Casual rider (for now), more of a planner than a doer when it comes to design (more than happy to pass it off to a local bike mechanic or team up with my dad for metalwork), but an avid collector of Weird Bikes. The past year...

Seems like every garage and tag sale in the region has an Orange County from Schwinn, but when I came upon a Huffy WEST COAST Choppers special, in red instead of chrome, complete with the chain guard and dummy tank, I had to have it. Even still has all the decals on the tank and guard, which I'm...

Of all my projects in the garage in progress, it's this one cruiser that my wife got smitten with, so trying to surprise her with restoring this for a relaxed trip to explore Block Island this summer. Stock photo since I don't have the accessories. Not sure what year my bike is, but it has the...
