    Murray Muscle Cats?

    Yesterday I found a very spray-bombed Murray Cat 20" Muscle Bike. It has a trap springer fork which I'm not certain is stock. Does anybody know about these bikes? Where are the serial numbers located? What years were they produced? It's a neat looking frame, I'm thinking I might use it for the...

    i like 'em shiny!

    I do respect patina, but I find I like clean, shiny bikes better. I've been warned that loving clean, re-painted bikes could cause a forfeiture of my "rat" card. My argument is " to each his own". But I do feel as though significantly more work is involved with refinishing. And I also feel...

    reflectors and lights...

    I put them on anything I intend to ride. Many people think it's cheezy to put a full compliment of reflectors on a bike, but I ask: how many times have you nearly hit some fool because he was riding at night with no reflectors, and you almost didn't see him. In my state, full reflectors are...

    1954 Rollfast Budget Rat NOW MOSTLY DONE

    So I recently scored a 1954 Rollfast for a mere 75 bucks. I had originally intended to grease and ride, but it's paint was less than half there, and closer examination revealed that many of it's parts were not stock. However, even though not stock, its parts were no newer than the late fifties...

    Please help me date my Rollfast

    Imagine my surprise to see this outside the antique/junk shop. I managed to score this Rollfast for an exceptionally reasonable price (old bikes are rare as heck in Connecticut, for some reason). Here's some pictures of it as she sits pre-restoration. If anyone can help me with the date and...

    Let the Ratting Commence!

    Here are some photos of my Official Unofficial Orange County Chopper that has begun to become thoroughly Ratted. This bike has some cool history, it's a 2002 Pacific that OCC officially disowns. According to the OCC sales and marketing division, who I have been communicating with for the past...

    First Ride of the New Cruisers!

    Here are some picks of the new semi-unmodified cruisers that I scoured local department stores to find. As with all department store bought-off-the-rack bikes, these were a far cry from safe or even operational when I purchased them. The blue one is a Kulana Moon Dog, with new pedals and grips...

    Mysterious non- Schwinn OCC

    So I was helping some friends clean out their yard last year and I found most of this bike half buried in sand, with a maple tree growing through the frame and no sign of the chrome on it because it was completely rusted at any surface that didn't have a decal on it. I fell in love with it...
