    Tire size comparison: 20x3 (75-406) vs 24x1-3/8 (37-540)

    Hello RRB! In short, I was ofc inspired by chopper motorcycles hence this comparison is a thing now. The question is are such tires close to each other if we're going to compare their diameters? Pictures of bikes with tires of that kind are appreciated. The process of coming up with these...

    Help find Felt/Electra 3i rims or somethin' similar...

    Hello there! At the moment I'm going through the whole internet to find Felt/Electra 3i rims (26" and 24" ones) for my future project. I found out that they're kinda rare asf or simply aren't sold separately from a bike... Anyway I'd like to know if there're good knockoffs/copies of such wheels...

    Stretching a Frame - But HOW MUCH do I stretch?

    Seems like every garage and tag sale in the region has an Orange County from Schwinn, but when I came upon a Huffy WEST COAST Choppers special, in red instead of chrome, complete with the chain guard and dummy tank, I had to have it. Even still has all the decals on the tank and guard, which I'm...

    Cannibal on a budget

    I'm smitten by the Nirve Cannibal/Switchblade bikes but can't afford to be bitten by the price. I'm not keen to lay out several hundred dollars for a new bicycle and then start cutting on it. After much searching, I found this. Probably made on the same production line as the Nirve bikes...
