I was at a local wholesale outlet and found a new Nirve springer fork...threaded 1 1/8". The price was right at $15 so I picked it up. I didn't know it was 1 1/8" till I got home. I was hoping to use it on an old Murray cruiser I have. Is there a way to use these forks on en old Murray?

I was running late so I made a quick dash thru the scrapyard and saw these two. The Schwinn looked cool as can be at a distance, I thought I'd found a gem.....but it's pretty rough. I know nothing about Schwinns and can't id them or what year they are but the head badge says Chicago. The frt...

Only took a couple pics

We have a local salvage yard that keeps the bikes seperate from the rest of the scrap. I go there once in awhile but all they usually have is Walmart junk. The last time I went I found a Ross (probably not much better that a Walmart bike) but I could tell it was old. Weird thing is it had the...

Since I hadn't been in nearly a year, I ran over there at lunch today. Picked up several sets of apes off of girls banana seat bikes. Bought 1 complete old girls banana seat bike and a possible never ridden 26" womens Ross Europa. It's not near mint because it has set out a long time but still...

I took the old apes off of the Challenger and put some eBay bars on. I got the bars and neck cheap...but the description was lacking. I think they are too small....like for a boys bike. I like the shape of these...if I don't use them on this, I might flip them and use them on my boardtracker...

I used to be heavy into old school BMX stuff, but after I got burned on purchases multiple times for damaged parts due to careless sellers...I just got out of it. Then I started looking at 26" bikes and got hooked. Now it's starting all over again, I've been burned at least 10 times in the last...

Have any of you seen that bike? Looks like it has possibilities. They also have a 26" Schwinn cruiser that looks much better than the Delmar that Wallyworld carries. The frame has some nice old school pinstriping.

I work with an older guy (well older than me) who found out that I like old bicycles. I brought one to the shop I work at one day and he couldn't stop talking about all of the old bikes he used to have. He told me that he was going back home (mid-west) soon and he wanted to bring me this old...

I got up bright and early this morning...loaded up my favorite bike and a few things for the swap meet and headed out to Murfreesboro Tn. The show was held at the Lanes, Trains and Automobiles bowling alley...a great place and fun for the whole family if you're ever in the area. I arrived and...

Bored...had a few extra bucks so I went to Walmart early this morning to get a bike for a quickie project. I picked the Huffy Cranbrook because I liked the color, wide wheels and PRICE! So here it is when I got it home You know what comes next...teardown! I also started peeling all of the...

I stripping a few parts off of the old Schwinn Sidewinder I bought to sell on ebay.....then I looked around in the shop and a few parts caught my attention. I had a new 26" mountain bike alloy wheel....a flip flop BMX freewheel....and some Redline cranks. What the heck, I threw them on the...

Looks like I'll be picking up a 1982 Sidewinder tonight. Not really fond of these bikes but I can't turn it down for the money. It is nice but has some shifting issues. I do like the forks and wheels...would be cooler if it was a single speed. Since it is a straight tube frame and it will take...

I ran across a late 60s ladies 26" Schwinn Hollywood that is very nice and the price is right. I passed it up because it is a ladies bike...but the more I think about it, I think it has potential. I was thinking about getting it and finding a comperable mens Schwinn frame and painting it to...

I just bought an old BF Goodrich 26" bike (1960-1963 I think) and it was missing the frt axle nuts. This bike is a Murray from what I've been told here so can anyone verify what size the frt axle nuts are? 5/16 x 26 tpi is what I have come up with by doing a few searches. :?: Thanks

I was searching ebay for a project bike and ran across this one but the shipping was way too high....like $130. Then I noticed it was in my town. It had a bin price of $75.00 obo. Out of respect (because I hate lowballers on CL), I simply asked what was the best price he could make me....as not...

Repainted it and added a few things to make it a little more fun to ride. It's gonna be my rider for now but I am still waiting on some brick colored Grand Tycoon tires.

I started out rideing BMX bikes in the 80s, then started restoring them a few years ago for old time sake. But...I can't ride any of them except for some mid-school stuff because I'm 6' 1" and 210 lbs. So after riding an uncool mountain bike for years, I bought a cheap beach cruiser and re-did...
