Hey Pals, I've been a member for a few years...I have been busy working on stuff. Making a book about Vancouver cycle culture, and I just launched a kickstarter for it. Looking to raise some funds to make it happen. This book will have lots of cruisers and some 26in bmx's, and some really cool...

Re: * CL KLUNKER find * you know what now that i look at it..that's exactly what they did, super homemade klunker!

the picture was tiny and the description was "Mountain and beach cruiser for summer cruising" it was listed for a few days i thought for sure some one would of already bought it, only $75 paid asking even though the guy would of taken less, it was built by a well known older local cruiser guy...

Garage sale score..must of been my lucky st.patricks day.. missing all it's stickers and the rear wheel needs work..

CL find...early 1980's Norco Custom Cruiser..sort of a 26in BMX Cruiser..oddball bike..came with a cool aluminum neck and awesome handlebars..gold sugino chainring as found after a clean up and brooks/wheel/part swap..added skullskates bars but i might switch back to the original ones..

Thanks!, i'm actually liking it more and more, thinking of what I'm going to do to it, keep it original or totally change it, it is missing the original red seat and tires but everything else seems there.

Maruishi 5 speed cruiser. CL find, pretty cool, needs a good cleaning and this is not the best picture, and the rack needs to go, has red anodized Araya 7x's and tange tx1200 champion forks. Needs some cleaning, but rides really smooth. I know it's kind of rare, after I bought it I received a...

Re: 1st Fixed Gear "Dudley"-Schwinn Traveler-No interest... The only thing that would be a minus on your bike are the wheels, steel wheels are not that desirable to fixed gear riders, it's a weight issue, if they were alloy it would probably be sold.

Those are called safety levers, they weren't that safe so they aren't manufactured anymore, if you are used to more of an upright riding position try riser handlebars. Sheldon Brown has a better understanding of the lever, google him and safety levers.

Thanks, no i put the wheel on as far back as it would go then cut the chain, worked out good, straight and tight.

Well not a fixed gear but close as I want to get, BMX inspired Single Speed Conversion. I bought this small my sized nishiki road bike on cl, then I stripped all the parts off and sold what I didn't need. Bought new wheels and the rest of the parts I just up-cycled recycled. Not finished it...
