I have a ever shortening deadline, I need to have this bike done by July 19th which is my GFs 23rd birthday. Its been sitting behind my garage for over a year now, was in this bad of shape when I first got it so not a terrible deal for $20 at a tractor show I exhibit at. The overall plan is...

I have not been here that much for the past year or so, sold off most of my bikes when I got financially stressed a while ago. I will say that I am back into this hobby. I still have my orange Raleigh to finish as well as making custom bikes for my girlfriend snd her 2 year old son. Date was...

Finally getting away from everything and getting time to work on bikes again :D I still have a motorized bike build to do, but I have time on that. SO, Here I have the start to a Klunker I'm building. Postwar CWC frame, and wheels/fork from a GT mountain bike off craigslist. Forks are shot...

Good poem to hear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnPQp-Pw ... e=youtu.be

Finally got myself a post war CWC frame (Thanks!) and I am going to be making a Klunker. I am looking for a good suspension front fork thats 1" to fit the older bike. Any ideas? (Deleted the other post before and reposted here. Wrong place!)

I see all you guys in the north east were hit hard. Got me driven to get my snowblower ready. Can't wait to see my neighbors faces when I use this old beast :shock: :lol: Any of you guys out there got some cool winter snow equipment?

I saw this on craigslist the day of my birthday, and when I called it was still available. Asked if he could hold it until it was my payday and he said he would. A week later I go to pick it up, in better shape than I had seen in the pictures. :D Its a 1992 reproduction of the 50's Western...

What did I end up dragging home Saturday? :D

I didn't know if I should post this but eh, why not! :roll: Early 50's Schwinn Made Lincoln, Known as "Rolling Rusty" :D

Well, picked up a few more bikes recently. One from a tractor show I exhibit stuff at and then 2 more at an auction. The one from the show is a 5 speed Schwinn with a interesting paint job on it. Whoever did it did a nice job. Got it free! This one I might keep as a rider. Has S-5 S-6...

I found this at a tractor show, yes... a Tractor Show. It was last weekend but I've been too busy to post any pics until now. I had to have it, its just so beautiful :shock: And the price was right at $20! A beautiful all original Schwinn Deluxe Varsity. The paint is almost flawless, decals...

No full bikes but a lot of nice old parts. Dug through about 3-4 boxes of stuff and picked out what I thought was old looking. Most of the parts were kids bike pieces but I have a sharp eye :shock: 1 major part in particular. 28" wood/metal clad wheel, Wood intact and metal is great...

I need to let off a little steam, and ya'll are nice enough folks here that you might also be able to tell me what kind of action I should take with this situation. I was up at my cabin this weekend (Friends house near my cabin) and we were out shooting cans with pellet guns. High pressure...

I recently bought a drum brake and as it turns out the holes are for HD size spokes. I plan on lacing it to a 26" rim with 36 holes. Does anyone know what size I need and where I can get them? I also have the feeling that this is a worksman hub... :|

I can't tell why that is. Oh well. This is my recently repaired early 50's sears powered reel-mower. I got it from the original owner, and it was full of water. I drained it and it was a back burner project. Sat out all winter and when I pulled it out again it was full of water. Tore the...

I have my AMP fork which is aluminum (And looks like something from Terminator), and I have my Retroglide 7 which is too aluminum. Ok, its a match. Now Before I buy the threadless headset for it I want your opinions on it. Personally I think it looks ok but after some polish and a bit of...

I went Rambo on the rusted lines on my 1992 F150 XLT 4x4. Never did I think of taking a before picture or anything for where the brake lines went but now I realize I should have. Haynes book doesn't tell me anything and I can't find anything on the internet. The main issue I have is the area...
