Very nice... perfect anno choice to go with the frame/fork finish. Any other color would have overwhelmed...the gold augments, very chill.

uhaul rented bikes?

I tried to buy a folding bike from one of them. The guy said it wasn’t for sale (although it was listed on the website at the time) beforehand I bought a flip flop fixie that I’m planning on modding soon. But yeah, U-haul dabbles in bikes (some are actually halfway decent).

Outstanding. @RustyGold check it out


Pro tip @Gateway Coasters .......... When you are inserting photos select full image and that way you won't have just the thumbnail but it will post full size. I edited your previous post to show you the difference

 

[Gateway Coasters]

Will do.

Changed out cranks. Added Super Maxy 170s. Waiting on front brake. Pretty close to calling it done.

Added a new set of tires and bars on the 58 Corvette, really happy with it now!

Nice one! I have that fork and can't find anything to put them on. What is the headtube length without headset?

I’ll measure it tomorrow.

41 Colson looptail. One of the earliest looptail balloon tire bikes. Great rider with a 2 speed kickback, Brooks saddle, Akisu fork and 2012 Kos cranks.

Always thought S&S leveraged this geo for their Newport and Rainbow frames. Nice ride!

Nice bikes! I particularly like your Kuwahara build. So clean!

Having recently started riding pump track & widening my bicycle addiction with a Framed 29er, I want to acquire a 26" bike. Was going to use a mountain bike frame as the base to build something up but since I wasn't allowed to ride/race BMX as a youth I want a new bike that I would have had BITD. Have narrowed my choices to 2 steel & 2 aluminum bikes. I am curious of your impression of your Redline PL-26 as it is one of the steel options I'm considering. What do you like or dislike about it? The other steel bike I'm considering is a Monza 26".

Redline has an aluminum 26" that I am considering in the SQB-26 if anyone has insight.

At the top of my list(I think) is another aluminum bike. The Race Inc. RA26-R is very attractive to me. I really like where these folks are going with their bikes & component partners with Toby Henderson at the helm.

If anyone can share their experience with any of these bikes it would be greatly appreciated. These 4 bikes fit what I am looking at since they were around in the beginning & had great desire to own one as a kid. They have the old school look with modern technology & not one of the hoards of SE variations.

Thanks for sharing folks! Lots of great info in this thread. As usual....

My opinion and preference would be

RA26 - great geometry and outstanding looks. Still bummed I missed out on their black Friday festivities and steep discount

SQB26 - do it all workhorse. Virtually bulletproof

PL26

Monza

The 2012-2013 Kos has a very well made double butted chromoly frame with great geometry. Some of the components are a little average but easily replaced as I did to mine.

Not easy to find as I believe only 60 went to the USA. I picked mine up for less than $400 2 years ago but prices have appreciated considerably since then.
