I picked this up last year -- it's changed a bit, I'm still not happy with my attempt at bending the seat post, but I like the look pretty well and it rides much better with the fat cruiser wheels and tires. I used my Dremel tool to trim the fenders (used a sharpie and a paper cup to draw the...

It's been a loong time since I've posted here, life gets in the way like that for me, along with multiple hobbies and projects. Anyway, I took the pickup to Hershey on Friday for the Antique Automobile Club of America fall meet, hoping to score a bike or two. This was my only deal, the guy...

This is probably too intuitive for a subject in How To, but what the heck. I'm making some progress on the Parrothead bike build (pics coming soon), and for now I'm going to use a pair of black pedals with reflectors because they're the least worn matched set I have. Anyway, I hit the metal...

I don't know where to post this, just ran across it on Wired.com. Not beautiful, but I do like the frictionless dynamo for charging electronic stuff, kinda cool. http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/06/e ... bicyc.html [/img]

Had my 67 Cougar ("Barncat") at the Carlisle, PA, All Ford Show this weekend and was keeping my eye out for bikes and parts, but I hadn't seen much. Making one more sweep among the vendors as they were packing up this afternoon, I found three bikes marked $25 for everything. Before I could ask...

Received a cool 24 in. vintage girl's frame today. Right now I'm thinking I'll change the colors, and take the wheels and rear derailleur off my wife's 24 in. cheapo mt. bike, along with the hand brakes, and make her a vintage driver. If I do it that way, I'll switch the tires to wide...

Here's a shot of my 1969 Colony Park mentioned in my Intro. I have details here on my Car Domain page http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2190342. I also set up a separate page for my 1964 Park Lane convertible here http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2573039 Haven't done a page for the 1967...

Not sure what you would call this, but I love it. Here's the thread where I found it on the HAMB http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=175355

My only qualifications are that I can ride a bike and turn a wrench fairly well. I just bought a 1960s Western Flyer on ebay, and I'm looking forward to fixing er up and doing some mods. I don't weld but want to learn. I had Schwinns when I was growing up in the 1960s/early 70s, but never...
