    55 Rollfast

    Picked this bike up last month in pretty rough condition but was able to tear it all down and put it together with a nice new pair of double wall coaster wheels with Kenda tires, new stem and bars. Swapped over to a snowflake sprocket and also was able to paint over the cool original white frame...

    Do any of you guys remember ...

    Back a few years ago on here somebody posted up pictures of kids doing massive jumps off dirt hills from what look like probably the 50s on these balloon tire bicycles? I would love to see those again because I can’t find them online anywhere and they are awesome 🤙

    Seat Post Size Question ...

    Picked up a sweet late 40's Rollfast twin bar boys bike with a springer fork this past weekend. I can't figure out what this seat post size is, it is just a smidge bigger the 13/16 and measures around 21.5 or so in millimeters, 7/8 is a touch to big. Any ideas what this size might be? Thanks.

    2015 GT Palomar (Steel Frame)

    Picked this up off the bay for super duper cheap, bike is mint new and arrived in a factory sealed GT box that had never been open. I really love the old steel frame bikes, I have a garage full of chromoly one's so the appeal was instant when I saw this. Probably the last chance you will have on...

    Trek 930 Singletrack Project,...

    Back when I was doing a lot of mountain biking in the mid 90's I started out on a used Trek 820 Mountain Track which was pretty much baseline. I went shopping for a new mountain bike yesterday and nearly pulled the trigger on a 2015 model GT Ricochet, but I just don't have confidence in aluminum...
