I think it's a '73. I have been looking for this bike for a while now. I've seen a few in blue and yellow, but I was holding out for the Campus Green so we could have a matching set. I'm leaving the basket for when I buy bread or milk. :mrgreen:

There was a neat looking tall bike. It was black chained to a rack near a bmx with straight top bars. Was it someone on here?

After this weekend I will be retiring my old school (to me) Diamondback Outlook MTB. My Dad gave it to me and I've had it for at least 15 years now. I'm going to ride it to the Community Festival and then I'll bring it back to give to my Sister's boyfriend. I just put on some straight bars...

Today I saw these Amish girls on some bikes, looked to be 26" turned into scooters. They looked rad. Are these custom made, or was I tripping?

I found this Chinese made"chopper" style bike in the rubbish after my 16-17 mile ride. What a pleasant surprise. It's pretty cool, plastic "tank", blue frame, full chrome chainguard, cheap rusty chrome is all over the fork & bars, wheels are aluminum, tires are cheap and dry rotted, cheap...

They're comfortable bars. Do they at least look 70's era? They were very rusty, so I covered them with some rubberized undercoating & spray paint. Maybe if I keep them I'll coat them in black bedliner coating. The bike is the most fun bike I've ever had, these bars make the bike feel more like...

Here's my three.

Picked this one up a few months ago from someone local. The back wheel is rusted away in the middle and part of the back wheel has rusted away. The bars are going to be replaced with some rusty "mustache" style bar. I plan on using a different seat too. Maybe I'll use some rusty blue fenders...

I just got finished removing what had to be many feet of fishing line from a bike I'm taking off the decals for my wife. It was only used once at Put In Bay. What a pain that was, glad it's over! In a week we are going to bike the Tram Road in the Everglades Park. Can't wait. On a side note, I...

:?: I have a 5 speed Collegiate (early 70s, I believe). Are the tires 26 x 1 1/4 or 26 x 1 3/8? Would these work? http://www.niagaracycle.com/product_inf ... _id=433182

Ok, so this bike (now with a 70s shade of green padded seat and Army bag panniers on a seatpost rack) with these bars with the stock grips and levers added to the straight part of the bar. and maybe some green brick pattern tires when these one wear out? Lame or cool? I don't think a bike...

I thought this was cool, a bike at the air museum. Maybe not so much to all of you, I don't know. I included the last pic because I liked the paint scheme. I plan on making my Gary Fisher in similar colours. Don't mind the creeper behind the glass box.

Today we went to the Air Force Museum in Dayton (Ohio) and on the way home we picked up this bike. The museum was a blast, there was so much to see. This time we got to see the Presidential and R&D planes, unlike last visit. It's going to get a different seat, a black springed Mesinger I have...

I saw a thread on here with a blue camelback in the "fresh finds" forum, and I was wondering if any were made in green (especially) or orange (my second choice). Other than Craigslist & Ebay ,where would be the best places to look for a specimen? Around here bikes are expensive. At flea...

I want a Brooks B17 green apple, but I can't see spending that much ($89) for a bike that could be stolen. Are these saddles comfortable for long distances? I think I might break down and buy one. Maybe a used one for some savings... Any good places to look that don't require PayPal?

Not sure if any of you are into the rail trails like I am. This summer I plan on taking about 4 days to ride from Pittsburgh to Cumberland. I know I could probably ride the 130 something miles in one day, but that would make it into a job and really defeat the purpose. I want to make many stops...

Home made, or bought. I want to make a set out of a few briefcase/ file cases or a pair of small computer case shells. I don't want to copy anyone, I just want to see how others went about theirs. The only thing I plan on buying would be a few nuts and bolts and the metal strips to attach to...

What do you think when you see this, if anything? I got to thinking of it because the only place I've seen a guy on a woman's bike was in rough neighbourhoods. It seems that if a man buys a bike that it's always the high bar style. I am asking because I am cannabalising a lower end woman's road...

Can you use a BMX 1 pc. crank on an older five speed? I want something I can use with a chainwheel of my choice. Right now the bike has an old 1 piece crank similar to other 70s bikes. It looks like it will work, but I don't have any parts to test with before I order.

I discovered this site last night and spent hours looking through all of the builds. For years, people have made me out to be a packrat because I save up so many bikes. Sometimes I pick them out of the rubbish. If someone offers me a free bike I take it and do something with it. Now I have about...
