I’m in with this idea, which is going to be my most detailed and time consuming build yet. Rust to Riche$ or Shiny side up is going to be a cruiser that is completely trashed on one side and completely mint on the other. I’m talking about a rusty crusty frame on one side and a beautiful finish...

Built up this Murray frame. it used to be a 3 speed in it's former life. It has been reincarnated as this Krusty coaster brake 1 speed. I built this bike with parts that were bought,donated and or traded out from Smoopy's vintage bikes down here in Murfreesboro, TN. http://smoopysbicycles.com/...

Scored a whole J.C. Higgins men’s bike in pretty rough condition, but complete. It has the orig. pinstriped tank, fenders, and back rack. I plan on stripping the frame and painting it flat black. I will then reinstall the fenders, tank and rack in orig. condition. I am also planning on...

Here is my build. Congrats to all of the builders.

I will be building around this set of bars and stem.

I have this ol schwinn, which I got from a yard sale years ago. It was not in rideable condition when I found it. I can not cross reference a date on the schwinn serial number website, which makes me believe it is pre 48. The serial # is on the bottom bracket and is D77648. Also the cranks don’t...

A fellow brother of ratrod's(gaskill) gave me one of his legendary coon tails. I decided it looked best on my favorite and most ratty ride.

Does anyone know if you can put 2.1 tires on s7 rims. Just wondering because I want to give my typhoon a more fat tire look.

Got this last week. it was in fair shape already. I just cleaned it up real good and put on some different bars.

Well, I picked it up today.Not a bad score. It is missing the chain guard, no biggie. I usually roll with out em anyway. All I have done so far is flip the bars and tighten the front hub.

I got it off a chrome huffy bmx bike that was in a trash pile. It's a 44t solid aluminum chainring. Might look good on a cruiser?

Looks like I'm adding a 66 Typhoon to the stable.

This bike started off as a Huffy Broadmoor that was rescued from a scrap pile. I took off the lame suspension fork, replaced it with a different fork, removed all of the cables and nonsense, put on some different bars, seat, pedals, grips and tires, converted it to a single speed, made the front...

When I’m not busting my knuckles on rusty steel, I enjoy writing and recording original music. Check out my music page. http://www.reverbnation.com/blakebecker Hope you all enjoy it. I am going to post some bike related songs soon. Later

This will be my first build off, I am a new member. I scored the Broadmoor from a junk pile in the country, and saved it from the scrap yard. This will be a military themed build. It actually is pretty much already done, but I want to wait to display all of the pics. So here are the initial tear...

My neighbors have started to take notice me basically living in the garage working on these old bikes and now are giving me there old rides. "just get it out of my sight is what this neighbor told me about this Higgins" I said "are you sure" The PG version of what he said was "I'm positive"...

Can you believe I got this sweet ride for $5.00 :shock: I got it at the bike swap in Marquette Mi. this weekend. It was not in working order. It had the S6 wheels which I don’t have tires for, so I swapped over some other wheels from my wheel collection. It did not have a seat so I put an old...

My latest find is this Ladies Wings Deluxe Goodyear. I scored it for $40. From what I have learned, Colson was the manufacturer of these bikes. I have no idea what year it is. Any help would be appreciated. The bike was complete but I stripped the fenders and chain guard off and stashed them away.

My latest efforts have produced this ratty single speed city bike. It started its life as an All Pro three speed as seen in the pics. It was given to me free a few years back and has been hanging on a hook ever since. Gone is the three speed hub and orig. front wheel, the hand brakes, all of...

Here is a chronicle of my latest build. I scored this bike a few years back for around $10-15$. The first pic. is not the actual bike, but is the exact model and paint color. The paint was faded very badly, so I thought I'd give it the treatment. I painted then installed some fastback bars...
