    TRADITIONAL Three's a Crowd (Pleaser).

    Decided that the 24" 1976 Sears & Roebuck Free Spirit Ted Williams Jr. Edition trike is up. The only other bike I've had longer was the specialized (After Thought) that I entered in the last build. So using this build as the excuse to get this back up and running. Not 100% on the direction it's...

    NOS Flick-A-Flector

    NOS SAF Enterprises Flick-A-Flector, self rotating Bicycle Reflector kit. Have not been able to find any information or even a mention of these online. Puts this firmly in the "Unique Item's" category. From the packaging I'm guessing 1960's-1970's? I installed a set on my Gold 1969 Raleigh...

    1953 Huffman BMX build.

    After much thought and consideration I've decided to build a 1953 Huffman 26" BMX tribute bike. Plan for now it to paint it as close to the original green I found when I started removing 3 layers of paint. I want to be right about 1984-1986 era for the parts. Don't know if there was a BMX bike...

    Transforming a 350w electric unicycle into front end of a custom adult drift/trick tricycle.

    Ok, so last week I won an online auction for a 350 electric self balancing unicycle. (Alcohol may have contributed to that decision). Today I tried to try it out. And I am 100% positive that had I continued I may not have survived. So I spent the rest of the day wondering what to do with and so...

    Pickup and shipping help from Oklahoma City.

    Looking for someone that would be willing to pick up a bike repair stand from a local business in Oklahoma City and ship it to me. It's an auction on the Shop goodwill online auction site and that location is a pick-up only location. If I win it the item will already be paid for and you would...

    Homemade enclosed and insulated trailer.

    I'm building a small enclosed trailer made from the aluminum belly storage box from a semi truck flatbed trailer I found in the ditch. It looks to have fallen off because the mounting bolts vibrated loose. One corner was crumpled up but a car scissor jack and clever use of chunks of wood and I...

    How do I clean/restore white hand grips.

    I have a bunch of white hand grips, I'm assuming a few different materials, definitely different ages that are at best, dirty and at worse stained and a few that seem to have lost or are losing their elasticity. I'm looking for suggestions on how to brighten them back up. Thanks. These are a...

    Homemade triple tree springer fork.

    I was sorting through bikes and parts yesterday and afterwards I brought some parts inside and decided to see if I could make my own triple tree springer forks and so far this is the result. I'll be upgrading the fasteners at the pivot points once I figure out exactly what I need. Still have to...

    Got bored.

    Been trying to sort and organize bikes and parts the last couple days. And got bored had an hour before I had to leave for work. So I decided to see what I could mash together from the pile of parts I hadn't gone through yet. This is how far I got before I had to go to work. Marin hybrid 700c...

    Peddle powered blender

    This just got delivered today. Deciding which bike to put it on. I can make drinks riding in place using the stand or while I ride around. Most definitely going to make some saddle bags for supplies. One side will be a cooler for the ice and the other side will be for the ingredients. Lol. I'll...

    BMX Trading Cards

    My mother is clearing out the attic and unused bedroom closets and she sent me a box with some of the things from my old bedroom closet she thought I might like to have. And in it was part of my old BMX Trading card collection. Been decades since I've seen these. Most likely will end up trying...

    Bionx motor question.

    I picked up this 26" NOS Bionx D series motor. I understand they went out of business. Wondering how much of a pain it would be to get this to work without the rest of the Bionx system or if it's even worth the hassle. I wanted to use it as a front wheel for a trike project, it's obviously a...

    SWB0 After thought

    I've wanted to update this Specialized Sirus for a few years now. And happened to spot it at the back of the shed when I pulled out a Trek MTB. so I figured I'd start that upgrade. This will be secondary to my ORBO build. Not planning any modifications, just mechanical updates and maybe paint.

    ORBO Tail Gunner

    Got this Trek Mountain bike for helping a neighbor load up a moving van a couple months ago, and picked up the Trek trailer online a couple weeks ago. Building this to give to my son and grandson. Still kicking the details around in my head, but leaning towards a gravel set up. That may change...
