Because I'm still considering myself as new to RRB, I'm using this thread to show you my bikes and some former builds and upcoming projects....
Got no picture of my BMX itself, so this is me around 2000:
This is an old folding bike from East Germany, a brand called "Mifa", wich means
Mitteldeutsche
Fahrradwerke. My girlfriend wanted an old gold folding bike, so I bought this old rusty thing and restored it. Brush-painted and polished every single screw and spoke. It is her good-weather-bike, so it still looks that shiny since 2006:
Here you see a standard 80ies boy's bike by a brand called "Hercules", wich was some kind of the german counterpart to Schwinn. Affordable, available everywhere and widely used. It has 24¾" wheels and is currently disassembled. I'm planning to rebuild it with a chrome fork and a narrow handlebar.
This is a 90ies "Kettler Alu" in typical turquoise color. One of the first german brands with aluminium frames. Unfortunately I haven't the original stem. I gave it a friend of mine and now it has got an apehanger bar.
Another bike from former East Germany, a "Diamant" ladys frame. It stands in the basement without moving for years when i found out that the owner has not been living here for ages. So I adopted it. A new rear wheel, new tires and a new chain and it's unbelievable how smooth and fast this thing is:
My Pure Fix Juliet:
This one I buyed a few weeks ago, it's an Electra Sunny-Garcia-style I think, I'm not sure. It's missing the mounting brackets for the chain guard. I want to build an oldschool Klunker out of it, single speed and a Humber double-tube fork. Nice color, but not my cup of tea. A dark green would be nice:
These two Felt Bikes i received last sunday for a very low budget. I'm still thinking about what to build from them:
But my favorite is still my 1995 re-issued anniversary Schwinn:
