I came home with a Fuji mt bike bought from a Salvation Army outlet this weekend. It's in nice condition, but I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. It has a 4130 crmo frame and the rims are black and perfect. The bike's color kind of puts me in the mood for a glass of wine :roll...

I picked up a 1975 Varsity the other day from Craigsl. It's a 21.5" frame this time (First one was 19.5"). It was in pretty good condition and I thought I wanted to do a single speed/fixie at first... Here's a picture when I first got it... Here's my try at a 27" single speed...not quite...

Hi, Here's two bikes I found around the neighborhood garage sales this weekend. Hawthorn I think 1956 with 24" wheels, also have original seat that I'm redoing. And a 1976 Schwinn Varsity that I'm turning into a single speed like Hooch's Varsity > it has 27"wheels and 19" frame. Would have...

I finally found a 1976 Green Varsity. Been looking for one since I saw the rebuilds that several of you folks have built. I want it to look like a fixie, but with a single speed and coaster brake. I need to decide on tire size and color...handle bars and seat. Any direction would be much...

A neighbor wants to sell me his really clean Ross. It's almost too nice/clean for me to rip it apart and rebuild to something else. I'm new at doing the rebuild thing...So...Any idea/help would be appreciated! :D Thanks Sorry, I thought the pic would be larger!!! :oops: Jimmer
