Hey all, I'm trying to ID this asian bike brand from this partial photo of the "headbadge" sticker. Any thoughts?

I found what appears to be a 1987 Schwinn Cruiser on FB marketplace recently, for 45 bucks. My plans are to build this as a strandie/bmx cruiser type bike. The lavender color is fun and lends itself to something wild. I'm probably not using the basket or fat-butt saddle... These are the photos...

Hi all, I've been offline for a while, so I figured I would reintroduce myself. My name is Laurence, and I like bikes. Since my last visit, I have changed the state I reside in (and will likely be doing it again in the near future), introduced a new human member into our family, and said...

I was hoping someone could help me out. I am planning on building a a bicycle for my little brother and Walmart's Ocean Pacific Mens Cruiser looks as if it might fit the bill. I need the following information however. -What type of headset does does it use (1" threaded, 1-1/8" threadless...

Hi again everyone, My Dad wants a motor-trike (I can't imagine why) for his retirement. Obviously I am going to build this for him. I plan on using one of the stretched cantilever frames (limo frame) for this build, along with a lowrider trike conversion rear end like this: What is needed for...

Hello, Off hand, can someone tell me the correct length crank for a 20" Schwinn StingRay? Thanks in advance! laurence

I figured I'd simplify my "SHOW US YOUR KLUNKERZ" entry and just put the pics and build info here. I'm pretty proud of this bike, it looks much better in person (which I'm sure everyone's does) and it rides and handles great for being a junky old bike. I built it bike using the frame I was...

I recently acquired a new frame which I plan to use a klunker. When I picked it up from the local bike kitchen it had been spray painted several different colors, and seems to have had no decals. It is a cantilever frame, came stock (I think) with a straight tubular bmx/cruiser style fork, uses...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a specific picture of a super low bicycle. It's the one with a young person sitting on it, maybe it has flipped dropouts and ape hangers on it? I thought it was in the "Ape Hangers" thread in the gallery section, but now I cant find it. Any help would be mucho...

What are people using for 3pc bottom bracket conversions on their klunkers? Is there one option more traditional and/or more common than another?

Just a quick question. Whats involved in replacing the dropouts on a 60's-70's lightweight (like a suburban)? Are they welded or brazed? Thanks in advance.

So I promised to build a bike for my little brother as he didnt know how to ride bikes (he's 14) and I like building them, (duh :lol: ) so anyway, I got an old 90's mountain bike from my wifes bro that he had abandoned 15 years ago to use as a base. I am more or less happy with the results...

This is my Monark I purchased from Crassly a couple months back. It's not much to looks at, but I enjoy riding it just the same. The crank, wheels bars and stem are compliments of my wife's rusty/crappy Huffy Santa Fell (Fe II) and the fork is from a $5 craigslist huffy comfort bike I have...

...but who cares? Ive been eyeing bikes like flip's "Stout & Ale" among others with envy as of late. I found this Surban frame sans wheels on craigslist recently and then found some alloy 27's for really cheap soon after. The rear wheel has been redished, centered and fixed with a track cog and...

My goal was to put something together for my mom that would get her around the hilly neighborhood and local bike path with comfort. My friend had this bike hanging up in his garage and his wife wouldnt ride it anymore, so she donated it to the cause. I spent the last few days polishing up...

My step-dad asked me to restore for him an old Schwinn Pixie II bicycle that belonged to his son many years ago. I am having a tough time locating replacement semi-pneumatic tires for it as they are both cracked all the way through. Any suggestions as to where I should look? Laurence

Alrighty, So help me out here people. I recently sold a bicycle to a nice young man and his girlfriend. They paid cash, and they got a very well tuned used bicycle in return. A couple days later the gentleman calls back and says that he had a problem with a pedal comming off while his...

A friend gave me a very unattractive Murray Mountain Bike recently. Everyone who has seen it had commented on the very dated 80's paint scheme. It certainly wasnt my favorite color either, but not worth trashing the bike over... maybe. I decided to give the bike a make over, and thanks to CCR...

.. he would fit right in. http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/bik/1063100828.html
