    Rotten Rocket

    Monark Rocket circa 1956. After doing some mechanical restoring and preserving the original paint I had to find a chainguard since it didn't have the original.

    i had a chance to trade a bike I had to Ceebee when I realized I didn't really see anything I hadn't already owned. Then I noticed this little gem on Craigslist and asked if he'd pick it up for me. A deal was struck and the gods smiled and all was right with the world. I got a Carlisle tire...

    Anerica's Bicycle Company Swing King

    I bought this a few years after I sold it to my friend Justin. I decided I didn't like the generic look so I added a Felt triple tree fork and some 24" wheels with 24x3 tires. After riding in the rain a few times I decided to add fenders and remove the chainguard and replace it with a Wald...

    Only picture I have of it. I had it a few years ago. I changed the factory wheels after the rear hub failed and cracked the shell. I removed the original stickers and rode it until someone wanted it more than me!

    Elgin Motorbike

    Scored this one from my good friend Ceebee. It looked rough around the edges but cleaned up nicely. Hubs were rebuilt and replaced into the rims. Front rim was too bad so I used a later j.c. Higgins rim I had lying around. Rebuilt the headset and bottom bracket and added a Persons majestic siren...

    A while back I went to the museum in Maggie Valley NC to check out some vintage motorcycles and there ended up being a few bicycles there also. As I was leaving I noticed this one leaned up near an out building so I talked to the curator/owner Dale Walksler and made an offer and he accepted. I...

    1936 Elgin

    I picked this beauty up from CeeBee after a trade went down. It looked rough. I had to cut the tires off of it to install new tubes and tires. I've also laced new spokes into the rims and had to replace the front rim because it wanted to flex too much with spoke tension on it. I disassembled...

    Almart German "Muscle" Bike

    A customer at the shop told me there was a banana seat bike in someone's yard a few blocks behind the shop so I went to check it out. I've not seen one like it but I'm assuming that Almart is like a German Walmart - nothing fancy. It didn't have a front wheel on it when I got it. It shows...

    Got this from a coworker for cheap and decided to convert it from a 10 speed to a two speed. It's around a 85-87 huffy and was complete when I got it. I wrapped the handlebars and installed a new seat, tubes, and tires. I used an idler wheel from a bicycle engine kit to route the chain. For...
