    I drag Esther

    I'm trying to keep it clean, but that bike is (deleted) awesome! Good job!

    2012 Surly Moonlander

    Wow! I leave for a few months because of school and life, and this place changed not only in looks (love it), but it seems to have gained some weight as well ( ;) ). For the record, I love my Moonie and have been riding it all year. I expiriminted the first winter I owned it and had a blast...

    Surly Pug Ops

    Awesome! I love my Surly Moonlander.

    My blacked out Fat Rat

    I need to see a picture of you ON the bike. Because that just looks...ridiculous*. And this is coming from the guy with 25" riser bars on my Nirve. * In a good way.

    Another specialized stumpjumper

    Those are nice. I am a huge Specialized fan myself. I have a '97 Rockhopper that I still regularly ride. When I finally get pics of it, I'll let you know.

    2012 Surly Moonlander This might beat out my Nirve for favorite bike, although they are more seasonal favorites. This is a great bike to ride in the winter, as much as the Nirve is a great summer bike. I picked this up brand new through QBP at my last job. It is pretty much stock, except that I...

    2011 Felt Fat Tire 20th Anniversary This is probably the third favorite bike I own, even though I don't take it out as much. It rides so buttery smooth, it makes me want to get some more Felts. I fell into this one at the the same place where I got the Tornado, Corvette, and Specialized from...

    2008 Specialized FSR XC Picked this up from a customer at my last job, the same place I got the Tornado and Corvette from. I'm a sucker for Specialized. I wish it was a Demo or Enduro, but whatever. It's fast and light. It is easily worth twice what I paid for it. Bonus: His wife was making...

    2006 Nirve Switchblade My favorite cruiser! I bought this as soon as I saw it. Love at first sight was validated even more so when I took it for a test ride. I kept it stock for a long time, only adding 'cockpit accessories', but then I added the ape hangers and leopard grips, using them for...

    1977 Schwinn Speedster Just a little beater that I picked up, possibly for a friend that doesn't drive. I ended up trying to put the Sturmey Archer shifter on another bike to fix, but that didn't work and now it resides in parts, on the garage floor still. :( I'll take care of you little buddy!

    1968 Columbia Roadster My brother saved this from a side job he was working. I got two other bikes in this deal also, they will be up for sale, as soon as I get pics. This bike needs the most work out of any bike I have collected so far. It even beat the Tornado in the 'most repairs needed'...

    1962 Schwinn Corvette I got this from a co-worker at the same job that netted me the Tornado. His FIL has a junk pile that he burns things for his rural friends and family and this was thrown on there! I couldn't believe it. I made him an offer, he accepted. Downside: The non drive-side seat...

    1960 Schwinn Tornado I saved this little lady from my old job. They had a 'country store' type area near the front of the old version of the store and had this hanging up as a display. So I nagged the owner until he sold it to me. It is currently not ride-able. My goal is to eventually get a...

    1940 Shelby Supreme First up is my Shelby. Picked this bad boy up at a local antiques store. I haven't had the time to get it rolling yet. It reminds me of the old farm trucks my grandparents use to have. I couldn't really find a lot of info about it. Bonus: It still has the original leather...

    Just some bikes I have collected over the years. I'll put them in chronological order. Many have been posted in Fresh Finds, some are not 'vintage' or 'rat rods', but they are bicicletas nonetheless. I take pride in the ownership of each one and so far have great memories attached to the ones...

    Show us your PHAT..........bikes

    My 2006 Nirve Switchblade SS. I recently added the whitewalls, red rims, and the leopard saddle to match the grips on my ape hangers. This thing is a blast to ride. :D At my friend's shop, Ice Scream: And at home, before I left: Although, this isn't my fattest bike. ;) I own a Surly...

    Wheel trouble

    Put a 2x4 under your rim, under the trouble spot, and tap it with a hammer back into place. I did this with a steel Schwinn rim that I couldn't find a replacement for. That was a 'blowout', i.e. the rim was bulging out. If it is the other way, I would assume same method, just reverse and more...
