    Murray Street Machine and some others

    I didn't even look at the tire size.. but it does look like a set of 24" on a 26" frame now that you mention it.. I'll have to look tomorrow.. the rims (at least the rear) are Komet on it and thanks for the info on the street machine... or as i like to call it.. the knee bruiser.. i am way to...

    Murray Street Machine and some others

    not usually my cup of tea (I own two bikes with derailleurs now ;) ) but for the little cash they wanted for it I couldn't go wrong. Got it home and saw it has a double grip rear drum break on it. Also, I have never seen a 2 speed bike where the chain adjusts on the front crank instead of the...

    1974 varsity 9" tall head tube

    I would be tempted to move the headbadge up, grab a few extras, and see how many I could fit on it :21:

    New Bars!

    That was/is my original hope. The ability to actually lean forward with my forearms on it like a regular steering wheel. It's a scary feeling now... pretty sure it has more to do with the springer front end than the bars tho Found out if I grip right where the bars meet( 9 and 3o clock lol), I...

    New Bars!

    It's actually more comfortable than it looks. Turning is touchy with a slight tendency to feel like it wants to "flop" side to side, but does not. Hoping I'll just get used to that feeling and it will be a bit more of a relaxing ride for me haha Thinking of taking the top bar to the local...

    Mystery BMX rims

    I was originally thinking wheelchair when I first saw them, but it looks as though the hubs are built different like one is supposed to have a gear on it. The wheel that is missing the axle is built different than the one with the axle if you look at the pic of them side by side you can see it...

    Mystery BMX rims

    picked these up in a all or nothing deal with a ton of other decent 20" stuff they seem different than most... weight of both combined is 5Lbs the way they sit rims are only an inch-a-quarter width.. seems really thin not really the right forum for this I am aware, but this is one of the only...

    Slow Motion Build #28949594 Spaceliner

    Nice call indeed... wanted something metal, but was thinking rat-traps until you mentioned bear-traps... plus I've never owned a set and trying new stuff out on this build took it for a quick spin today and snapped some pics... then rode it to work.. and the chain snapped.. (and remember me...

    Picked this up on the local CL a week or so ago.... thought I'd do another start to a build.. let's see if I can finish this one in a sort of timely fashion... Tried my first citric acid bath last night with it.. bath tub is clean bike.. not so much... not sure if I was expecting a miracle...

    74 SubUrban with mystery rack

    just picked this up, no plans as of now except to lose the baby seat on the bay of E's can not figure out the front rack, which broke off already at the welds, except it looks as though something may of slid on and off for convenience.... maybe a basket you could take shopping or whatever...
