Well, it came down to crunch time and I'm uploading pictures as I write this. I'd just like to say that I had a great time building this bicycle! Thank you to Steve, and all of the other builders who motivated me to get finished! I am truly humbled to be competing in the same ranks as some of...

Hello all, your vote would be greatly appreciated! Here is the finished build thread: viewtopic.php?f=68&t=61058 Hello all, This is my first time entering a build off, so I wanted to do something a little different. I found this ladies step thru Monarch at the Ann Arbor show and the...

My son built this bike last October. It took him 2 days. He is 8 years old. Early 90's (I think) Huffy bmx with 70's tuff wheels and whatever other parts laying around he picked out. I showed him how to install the grips with the air hose, and how to grease and install bearings. He turned...

I took these pictures of this old tugger truck at work that one of our Jitney guys fixed up. He said he did the flames on the battery with a paint pen. Looks awesome! Check out the the Hemi valve covers and the 6-71 blower! :D Tom

I'm starting a new build I'm calling the "Algonquin". It will be motored bike powered by a Grubee Super Rat. I'm starting out with a Wards Hawthorne twin top tube frame (can anyone date this frame?), Schwinn style springer with brakes, and some Brown Fat Franks. I mounted the Franks on a new...

I got a great deal on a twin top tube Hawthorn, and what I think is a ladies Schwinn American. I've been waiting on the Hawthorn from a friend until the price came down. :D When I went to pick it up, he offered the Schwinn to me for free! It's rattle canned, but has good parts and tires...

Picked this up last week. The front fork has the Murray stamp and the numbers on the rear dropout are 502 452000 027768. Does anyone have any idea what year and model this is? Tom

I'm looking for springer seat ideas. I've got a few seats that I believe are from exercise bikes that I'd like to turn into springers. Whatcha got? :D Tom

Hello, I am new to the site and I'd like to know what kind of bike/year this skiptooth is? The rear coaster is stamped JC Higgins, but I don't know if it's the original wheel. I don't think the bars that came on it are stock. Thank you in advance for your help! Tom :D

Hello, my name is Tom from Michigan. I bought a bike from a nice young man Theflyingdingo a couple months ago, and he told me about this site. I've been lurking here for a while and finally picked up a couple of old skiptooths to work on. One is a 26" Wards Hawthorne, and the other is a 24"...
