    All the money

    Very cool example of an 82 Sidewinder. But $1500? I hope you get it, friend. Ad is here.

    ORBO I Love Lucy

    Simplicity made Lucy possible in a short time period. I had most of the parts on hand. Coaster brake wheel, fork (adjusted), rest of drivetrain. I did buy the hammer paint, I'm rather impressed with it so far. Gloss black is closer to dark charcoal. BIG EDIT: NEW FAVORITE PHOTO (FOTO) FIRST>>>...

    ORBO I Love Lucy

    (Frame change = Name change) So yeah, I'll give it shot. I took most of the winter off from bicycle matters but now that my pink legs have seen the sun for the first time in months I'm all in. I've wanted to do something with this frame since I got it over a year ago. It's a 1971 Schwinn...

    ORBO Two weeks, eh?

    All it takes is for last winter’s dog poo to get sufficiently hard to pick up and my thoughts turn to building something. 71 Varsity in my favorite Schwinn color.

    In the Dirt - a documentary

    Bicycles can transform lives. If you have $6 to spare I highly recommend you watch this film. In The Dirt Please share!

    Dunno much and that's all I know

    $30 mystery bike, no serial number in the usual places. No headbadge, no chain guard, definitely not a Schwinn. Fork looks like it was fronted hard but I love these frames. Skip tooth wheel has a New Departure hub, the extra set has a Komet Super with normal cog. I pulled the crank and nothing...

    Budget buster

    I haven't pulled the trigger. Tempting even at that price.

    Winter relevance

    I don't remember where I first saw these photos. Street View from Norlisk, Russia. Stay warm Rats.

    Storage ideas for wheels

    The local Bicycle Collective is looking for ideas to store three storage units FULL of wheels and rims at their new location. They have a two story wall space that is about 16 feet wide. I'm picturing a contraption kind of like how they store spools of wire at the big box stores (Lowe's, HD)...

    Impulse buy

    Paid $100 for this ~97 Schwinn, prolly a Frontier. Seller had it tuned sweet and these photos are his. I believe the Rolf wheels are from Trek, double spoked and spin nice. Avid 20 V's, crank and FD are LX, RD is XT. Super light, fork is what it is... lol. Tires too. I had doubts until I took...

    Any other seamsters/seamstresses?

    Mallard, the trailer/caravan, needs curtains. Mom and grandma were seamstresses. I know the basics. :grin: NSMD, her name is Bernette.

    Road Trip III coming soon.

    Almost wrapped up until...

    Greetings. I've been working on a Redline Monocog and was having trouble getting a 650b rim& tire (larger than stock 26") to align correctly in the frame. I was checking tire clearance and getting the wheel squared up to the frame and noticed that I really had to rack the wheel to get it...
