I always ran 1.95 in rear and 2.125 in front when racing. Good look.

Thanks Palepainter, yeah 1.95 would fit no sweat, I had 2.125 on front, so know that would work.

Here is one I did awhile back. Powder coated a crusty old Schwinn straightbar frame I had kicking around the shop. Widened some 24" Scrambler bars, Ashtabula stem and crank, Cooks replica fork and a Sturmey S2C two speed rear hub. Brooks saddle and Hunt Wilde grips.

Repaint after a little frame repair, got rid of all the teal anno, looks good. Got it muddy already of course!

Mtb with a bit of BMX flavour thrown in. I built this one last year so I could have a decent, but relaxed ride up at my summer house. It rides great, and is perfect for grocery runs and chill rides to the beach, the port, and my secret relaxy-spot.

Now we're talking. Nice Cook Bros build. Even Cook cranks. Those look like 185mm arms!

Being new to this forum, and looking at all of these, it is clear that I'm going to have fifteen bicycles to stack next to my guitars and amps.

Killer bikes fellows!

only 15????? sounds like some diet plan

@RustyGold probably has 15 in his kitchen

 

[RustyGold]

I think I have eight riders in the house...they are in my hobby room. I'd never put them in the kitchen, too many weapons in the Wife's reach.

 

[RustyGold]

I may have 7-8 boxed not built ones in the house as well ...if I counted those...~15. Still not going nowhere near the kitchen!

I got away with an exercise bike in the living room for a couple months...but, since I only used it once, I came home one day to find it relocated to the hobby room.

It happens…….

 

[Palepainter]

Ok. I can hardly contain myself and am finally sharing this one. 81 Bassett. It was a bucket list bike. A buddy of mine found it on Craig’s. I traded a 81 redline for it. It needs a soaking and set of cranks. But for the most part, it’s a rider. Had her out for 10 miles in the wind this AM.
