    Old member, early build off participant checking in.

    Hey all. Joined back in 2007 and participated in one of the early build offs. Built “Escaped Convict” a prison themed bike in honor of the demolition of our historic Maine state prison. Fun build and had a great time conversing with everyone. Life happened between then and now. Still got...

    Hello again!

    Yes it's me, older wiser, and just as crazy. I still have the "Escaped Convict" and have continued to acquire and sell bikes here and there. Just saying hi, seeing what's up, and getting motivated for perhaps doing another build in the future. Aaron

    28" combination tube/tire repro's?

    Sensor do the sew-ups just glue on like the original or does sew-up mean something else I am uniquely unqualified to do? :D Aaron

    28" combination tube/tire repro's?

    The old guy I got my Columbia from bought some a while back. Just gotta get in touch with him. He sold nearly everything in a package deal to a guy in northern Maine. He kept a few choice bikes. His health is failing and he can't restore em anymore. I hope he can help a bit with this one...

    28" combination tube/tire repro's?

    Picked up a mid 20's Hawthorne Flyer made by Elgin with steel lined wood rims with 28" glue-on tires that are combination tube/tires. Does anyone know of a repro source for these? Aaron

    My Elgin Hawthorn Flyer found today!

    Yes despite rumors of my demise I still exist and have lurked over the past several months. I've been busy and frankly just haven't done anything with bikes. The Escaped Convict is alive and well but is suffering from two flat tires due to spontaneous tube failure. I've kept my eye out for...

    Fire bikes...

    The thermometer on the bank hit 63 today Chris!! Still a few big snowbanks in the parking lots and some hidden in the woods but it's melting fast. As to how I am? Well health wise I'm good. Financially I'm in poor shape. Had to take a second job on, still not making it. My own fault. This...

    Bike people... a story of a sale and a gift.(PHOTO ADDED)

    So I have been advertising a lot of my bikes for sale. My wife got rear ended and our trusty 94 Jeep Cherokee was totaled. It was one of those deals where the car just wasn't worth much to anyone but us. We bought it back from the insurance company and are driving it still but we need a new...

    Experience with Sachs Torpedo 3-speed hub?

    My Pashley WorkBike has one. I don't have much experience with it yet due to snow but if Pashley uses them they can't be that bad. Aaron

    Help me pull one over on my brother!!

    Dad did it for both of us when we turned 12. He bought me Mattel stock. It was fun to learn how it worked. Alas my brother ended up paying far more attention to it than I did and is thus far better off. My dad did start a college fund for both my sons when they were born. Those are doing...
