    Firebikes Warrior

    I feel like the lucky one.. got to ride this beast before it left Portland! Pics simply do not do this bike justice... it's a thing of beauty, and puts a big ol' smile on your face when you ride it. Tuesday nights are gonna be me and the Schwinns from now on, man.. I'll have to get a few of the...

    Man, that's sweet! I'm 41yo and not a small guy at all... I wouldn't feel anything but kool ridin' that! Is that rear tire available still? ..can't seem to find it. Got an extra one for sale?

    Schwinn bikes ( post pics here )

    Just finished building this 50's B.F.G Hornet.. still need to tweak a few things after last night's test ride, but it's going to be a great summertime ride. This frame was originally going to be used for a completely different kind of build involving a repaint and a tank, but when these tires...

    '68 Five Speed Sting-Ray

    I need that book! A couple of my friends have it, and yep, that bike on the train tracks is exactly bike. I want to put some modern (nice riding) tires on it for the summer, then partially cover up those not-as-cool-looking tires with some nice fenders. I'll bring it back to stock eventually...

    Schwinn bikes ( post pics here )

    I'm in love with this thing! Camera-wise, I shoot with a Canon 5D Mk II, and used a 24-70 2.8L for these shots. Sorry for the double post, y'all.. I thought I deleted the one in this thread! :oops:

    '68 Five Speed Sting-Ray

    Yeah, it's pretty dang clean... I'm super happy! :D I watched this thing sit on CL for a couple of weeks, then couldn't stand it anymore... I made a pile of stuff to sell off, so as not to feel too guilty about it, and bought it! As far as detailing it goes, it'll be mostly about...

    '68 Five Speed Sting-Ray

    My latest find... a '68 Coppertone Five Speed, pretty darn close to stock and original. As far as I (and a few friends) can tell, the only things incorrect about the bike are the new sissy bar and the single, springy cable clamp needs to be replaced with a correct double clamp. I'm going to get...

    Let's see your Cleveland Welding bicycles!

    Yep, it's a disease alright... I'm close to needing an intervention! One of last year's episodes ended with this Road Master from SimpleMan... I love this bike! It's as he built it, except I added the Quick Bricks and horn and distressed the seat a bit. This thing is sooo fun to ride, and gets a...

    Menacing Air Force Bomber or Comfy Airstream Trailer

    Whoa! That's the nicest Felt I've seen... Like some of the others have said, I wouldn't do another thing to it, other than stare at it! Man-o-man! ... this is way too much bike for Ignatius Reilly's valve!

    Virtual bicycle models

    Awesome! Those look fantastic! Man, I should really think about this kind of bike collecting... much less expensive and easier to store!! Beautiful work!

    Too Many Projects

    All are really nice projects.. hope you find your road master tank! I sold off my straight bar CWC project and decided to just patiently look for a complete bike.. it was for the same reason, too.. tank seemed harder to find than a bike. Yours is way closer though, and that light is awesome...

    Felt Bicycle Pics

    I've been wanting to customize 2 of my three Felts, leaving the revolver stock (except for the brown tires).. thought I'd start with a tire and wheel swap on the MP, just to ease in. I also put a 26t cog on the rear, and love the low gearing... now it rides like it looks, and hills are a breeze...
