    1969 Huffy Rail V

    I bought this bike back in October of '22, and it's been waiting for some attention. It was complete so despite the rust I knew in my heart I needed to get it so someone else wouldn't part it out. I figure it has survived this long being whole that I needed to ensure it stayed that way. I...

    Here's a before and after (still couple loose ends to button up) of my 75 Stingray I have had for about 3 years but only began working on after the MBBO concluded this winter. I've been working to finish it to cruise it at a big multi-day car show I will be attending next month. All original...

    WANTED AMF Aerobee Rear Fender

    Howdy! I recently bought an Aerobee but mine is missing the resr fender. I guess these fenders are specific as they have an oval type hole on top and slide onto the clip circled in my second attached pic. My third pic is of the bike I bought (dont have it in my possession just yet as a buddy of...

    The… needs a new name

    I'm a fan of the 80s turbo Dodge themed movie "The Wraith" and think that name would suit this bike well. 😈 And Iverson of course made the Dragstripper, maybe since this is a Rail a little play on words could be a DragRIPper

    So sorry I didn't see this way back when you posted it, but here are pics of the Screamer I brought back to life. I did end up selling it (regretably) as it's probably my favorite bike I've ever owned. I certainly know itd have been an amazing sight to see it next to the Cotton as stable mates...

    12/71 Cotton Picker

    What began as a random and miraculous find quickly became a tedious resurrection as I strived to bring this last month of production Cotton Picker back to its former glory by preserving as much originality as possible but somehow making it appear new again (at least in shine and presentation. To...

    12/71 Cotton Picker

    Good news is I found a suitable matching nut for the bottom of derailleur! Bad news is I didn't get out today to take pics because my brother decided today would be a good day to start a weekend project of installing our lift in our shop. Thankfully I am off thru Monday! Haha I am excited to get...

    12/71 Cotton Picker

    Got the chain on tonight finally, but of course not without a hitch. Not only did the spring pop off on the derailleur and I had to figure out how it was suppose to go back together. But I also realized I've misplaced the small nut at bottom of derailleur that tightens a clamp against bottom of...

    Sid (finished)

    I can't stop swinging by this thread just to look at the lines on this bike. It's literally an awesome piece and even with the little ding to the handlebar wrap still doesn't take anything away from it. Great survivor!!!

    Got the kickstand installed tonight in under 5 minutes! I can't believe how easy it was haha I got tied up this weekend with family functions so didn't get everything buttoned up as planned, but considering I thought this kickstand was going to give me the biggest headache it is such an ease of...

    12/71 Cotton Picker

    Great! Thanks for letting me know 👍 My streamers came in yesterday and I installed them quickly. And also installed my speedo drive to the hub after cleaning it out thoroughly with degreaser. I'll be adding some 3-in-1 oil to it once I get this back out into the garage this weekend to do the...

    Should there be one more clamp in front of the shifter holding the rear brake cable to the frame or no?
