OK RATTERS A FEW MONTHS BACK A KID SNAGGED A PAIR OF FORKS FROM A BIN THAT WERE SUPPOSE TO BE MINE AT NBW. I CAME IN TO FIND HIM PUTTING THEM ON HIS BIKE. I ASKED HIM TO SELL THEM TO ME AND HE SAID 60 BUCKS!! :x SO I DROP THE KIDS OFF TODAY AND HE'S THERE WITH HIS BIKE. HE SAYS HE'S GOING TO DONATE IT TO NBW. SO I BROUGHT I FRM HIM FOR TEN BUCKS. A LESSON LEARNED ON BOTH PARTS. COME TA PAPA!! :mrgreen:

Jake,
Not to sound like an idiot, but what does NBW stand for?

That fork might look cool if you painted it dark brown/black so it looked like it was made from wrought iron.

NO WAY ARE YOU AN IDIOT DOC!! IT STANDS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD BIKE WORKS. A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT TEACHES KIDS HOW TO FIX BIKES WITH IT'S EARN A BIKE PROGRAM. IF YOU LOG 25 HOURS OR MORE YOU GET TO SELECT A BIKE FROM THE BASEMENT OF DONOR BIKES. MAN I SAW A KID GET A JEEP BIKE FOR 25 HOURS. IT WAS ALMOST NEW. HE PICKED IT RIGHT BEFORE MY SON WENT DOWN THE BASEMENT. I SAW IT 2 DAYS BEFORE THAT WHEN IT CAME IN. THAT'S HOW I GET ALOT OF STUFF. PEACE

HELLO RATTERS!! PRIME TIME BABY!! JUST A QUICK MOCK UP AFTER PUTTING ON SOME NEW HANDLEBARS, I WENT TO NBW TODAY AND FOUND 4 TIRES THAT WERE MINE FROM RETRO RAT-O THAT WERE "LOST" IN THE BASEMENT. I ALSO FOUND A SWEET 26X2.25 WHITEWALL FOR THE SCHWINN. THEY ALL WERE GOING TO THE SCRAPPER. :shock: NOT ON MY WATCH!! I'M JUST LOOKING FOR A PHAT COLOR TO MAKE IT STAND OUT.

PEACE

I think that is a Raleigh Space Rider or Colt. Pretty much the same bike, but the Space Rider was a "juvenile" model, with roughly a 16" seat tube. The Colt was a bit larger, at around 18". I'm not familiar with the Scout.
