when i bought this, i was thinking mid fifties or so from the cell phone pics i had. An aquaintance called and said they found a bike in his mother in laws property and wanted to know if i wanted it. I certainly didn't want to discourage those kind of calls so I offered $50 thinking that if...

Ok, after reading and following many, many builds on this site I finally decided to get into the mix and actually document a "build". I figured I might as well join the build off at the same time! I have been thinking about joining in but just couldn't find a frame or idea that I wanted to go...

I was over at the LBS around lunchtime and they were busier than normal so wandering around the new bikes I spotted one of these bad boys: http://www.gtbicycles.com/2012/bikes/bm ... rceptor-26 in black, and one of these in chrome. http://www.gtbicycles.com/2012/bikes/bm ... rformer-26 They...

So occasionally I get a pass to go and ride with a group of fellow bike enthusiasts who have regular scheduled rides a couple days a month. SALSA, which is slow and low san antonio. If you can't talk to the person next to you or you spill your beer, you are going too fast! We started in South...

I was over at Dad's house for thanksgiving and we were in his shed looking for some of my old toys to fix up/clean up so my daughter could have some cool "vintage" stuff. The "" is because I am 37 so vintage to me is the 70's. :mrgreen: Anyway, looked up on the wall in the shed and there was...

Not really a build as I only re painted and added some things here and there with more to come. Enjoy! The inspiration for the "build"!

http://austin.craigslist.org/bik/2600795681.html Text from ad: "I have restored 80s Murray Monterrey that I made about a year ago. I put over $1200 dollars into this bike when I was restoring it. It has many new pieces. It has a Brooks saddle. I had it sand blasted and painted flat black. It...

I have a coaster brake rear hub that seems to have some slop in it and I can't get it to lock up even when standing on it, Is there any way to adjust it or tighten it?

Picked this up at a swap today. Guy said he wanted to make it a klunker so he brazed on the brake pivots on the back, I'll take those off. I just like the look of it so I bought it for $15

Recent re-do of a Schwinn Windwood that I picked up for under $70 compete. I need to get some pics of the white paint up close. I used that Metal effects, paint by Duplicolor to give it a pearly white look. Looks awesome in the sun!

My spaceliner. I didn't feel like making it all original so I just kind of mixed up some styles and threw it all together with a little inspiration gained from this site. It rides great and I get lots of questions about the front hand brake :D

Yep, plural. A matching pair of '86 or '87 Aqua and white cool streaks. I am at work now but I hope to get some pics of them tonight. They both still have the original white tires on them but they have hardened up and cracked. Skyway mags and skyway tuff pads on the Diacompe brakes. One of...

Boring I know. But this will be my first build that is anything more than parts swapping. I bought a cranbrook as a donor for the forks, bars, and fenders for my wifes bike i put together recently. Since I had the frame left and some cool wheels with a sweet paint job I thought i would see if...

Howdy all, I have been lurking for a little while and got the cruiser/chopper bug a while back. Sold my mountain bike and bought an Electra Rat Fink off CL and never looked back. Just finished my wifes bike, turned an Academy cheapo MTB/Comfort into a cool cruiser. No major mods yet, still...

Saw one at the flea market this weekend, guy wanted $70 bucks for it and it was in just ok shape. I didn't know enough about them to make the buy or even to know what to offer him for it. Any thoughts??

Are there other headset sizes out there besides 1" and 1-1/8"? I bought a Huffy Cranbrook as a donor bike for the tires, fenders, bars, forks, etc for a bike I was going to rebuild for my wife. She already had a cheapo Pacific MTB/Comfort bike but didn't like leaning over to ride. I bought a...
