    No name road bike

    Got to come up with a name for this one but was just a 70's Japanese road bike that was given to me. Been wanting a bike to ride with some friends and one of them had this hanging in his garage. As delivered I had some paint laying around so I stripped it and started with a mint color

    1930's Colson ladies bike rusty

    Had this girl given to me this weekend. Its solid, but geeze is it rusty. Not sure if I'm going to put it back together or just make art out of it yet. It has a really cool front badge Pioneer. I'll have to clean it up and get a picture of it. Just need to get one screw loose from it.

    Is this bike worth buying

    Has anyone ever heard of a Schwinn California Cruiser? Found one on craigslist wondering if it would be worth buying. http://dothan.craigslist.org/bik/3138745871.html I was thinking of offering 50 or so for it. If its a rare bike (found a site saying it was) I might go ahead and pay for it...

    First build name change again.. "Bulli"

    So this is the canvas I have to work with. Fix-a-flat in the tubes, run down western flyer. First thing is the mechanics, the crank bearings were clicking like crazy. Took them out and all the bearings but one were missing from the race on the sprocket side... nice.

    12-05-1952 Schwinn ?

    It has the sweet heart skip tooth chain wheel, missing some stuff like headlight looks like it should have a springer or something else per dents in the fender for clearance. Pretty rad for free 8) Going to hold onto this one for sure, I'm not sure its a Phantom looks like it though anyone...
