    throw in some new and vintage parts, and convert it to a singlespeed and that bike would be awesome,,or leave it original. Cool bike

    1982 GT BMX Nora Cup

    Wow, that thing is cool. Don't change a thing on it, except maybe remove the hub shiners. Even if it was covered in rust it'd still be a score, nice find!

    80's 26" Jamis Earth Cruiser

    It's a steel seat post, and an aluminum Jamis seat clamp. Someone put a quick release bolt on it when it takes a regular bolt and nut and it kind of damaged it..

    80's 26" Jamis Earth Cruiser

    they were originally painted in this candy blue and the sidewalls were sanded...I'm not sure why because it was running a coaster brake but maybe they had 3 and 5 models and they used this rim on all their bikes? The ladies bike i have is a darker, navy blue with the standard gold decals..I...

    80's 26" Jamis Earth Cruiser

    Here's the wheelset. I took out the suntour coaster and added a bendix automatic hub. The original front KK hub is dated '88 The scratches on the rim make me think the rim was polished then candy painted instead of anodized blue..but I'm no expert

    Re-refurbished my 1960 Schwinn Tiger

    This was my 3rd? bike I've bought years ago. I tried to refurbish it but it was early in my bike hobby and i didn't do the best job. I just recently decided to get it up and running again. The original s-7's were rusted through so I laced up the original hubs to double wall alloy Mavic rims with...

    80's 26" Jamis Earth Cruiser

    I picked up a ladies blue earth cruiser and it came with Sumo 26 x 1.75" blue anno, or maybe candy painted with shiny side, rims. laced to a Suntour coaster and KK front hub.

    thrift store rescue

    cool bike. the components don't look that cheap. are those alloy wheels? it's a cool piece of mtb history, even if it is a Columbia. I'd tune it up if I were you, I'd be a cool rider

    I buttoned up the Moosegoose FF I picked up last week!

    wow! that's awesome. I never really understood the purpose for the geometry, was it just for taller riders?

    80's Schwinn Cruiser 5 DELUXE

    ehh,.. I don't know about mint. Some of the rust is pretty deep and there are a lot of chips and scratches in the paint. But I'll try my best! :D

    80's Schwinn Cruiser 5 DELUXE

    I'm not sure...the cable has been replaced so the wheel has probably been off. So it might be.

    80's Schwinn Cruiser 5 DELUXE

    The guy I bought it from thought it was from 1969 , I just went along with it because I didn't want to argue. And it wasn't cheap...I ended up getting him down to $200, which I feel is still a great deal.
