    Tallbike

    I'm downsizing my bike pile, and these two are getting the axe. There's a 24" Schwinn Phantom that was repainted by the former owner. It wasn't a great job but it's still worth it in parts. SOLD! 26"x20" tallbike. This thing's fun to ride, you ride at your own risk. About 4 feet high at the...

    Pumpkin King returns!

    While waiting for my Leg Day frame to get back from the welder, I got to thinking about the Cycle Truck build. After spending a few days tweaking most of the bends out of the frame and fork, I have the Pumpkin King rolling. I'll throw the crankset and chain on in the morning. And I'll probably...

    Leg Day, resurrected

    Hey everyone, this has been on the back burner for a while now, but I finally figured out a way to move forward with Leg Day. I didn't make the deadline for the buildoff, so it's a regular build now. What I started with: Then I cut some aluminum diamond plate for: At this point I was stuck. I...

    (MBBO#05 Class 2) Pumpkin King

    Hey, everyone. After quite a bit of procrastination I've decided to go ahead with an idea I've been kicking around in my head for a while now. No cutting or welding required (most likely) so I should complete this one. Combining 3 of my favorite things: old bikes, The Nightmare Before Christmas...

    Collection buyout Sept. 04

    Over the weekend I bought a garage full of bikes, frames and parts. A lot of it is kinda rough, but overall I think I did ok. Lots of Schwinns and NOS Schwinn parts. It will take a bit to get it all sorted, but soon it should start popping up in the For Sale section. By the way, does anyone...

    SOLD 1935 Schwinn Ace

    I bought this Schwinn Ace last week, I'm hoping to get it sold before I go back to Georgia. Serial Number I7001. It's in pretty good shape, mightve been repainted though. As far as I can tell, the only issues with it is a small hole in the rear fender and the wheels are probably the wrong ones...

    Late 40s Huffman?

    So I picked up this bike a few weeks ago with my dad-in -law. After talking to a few people and looking at pic archives on nostalgic.net I'm thinking this is a 40s Huffman. However, I don't know a lot about them, so I was hoping one of the nice knowledgeable folk on here could help me narrow...

    Leg Day

    I finally decided to take the plunge and enter this year's Build Off. Nothing extravagant, but if I pull this off Leg Day should turn a few heads in my one-stoplight county. My plan is to take a Worksman INB frame(thanks again @ind-chuckz )and weld in a new bottom bracket far enough forward that...

    National Cycle Manufacturing Co. headbadge

    A friend gave me this headbadge, and I want to flatten it out and make it into a pin for my jacket. Before I do it I wanna make sure it's not valuable. All I could find out about the company is that they're an early company. Is the headbadge good enough that I should leave it as is?

    Question about Bendix blue band hubs.

    I was wondering if the guts from Bendix blue band hub can be put in the shell of a red or yellow band. I think a 36H hub with an overdrive gear would be great.
