    Colson Clipper and more

    Awesome finds! More than a little jealous of how much nicer your clipper is than mine.

    1941? Colson/Goodyear Clipper

    Started tearing the bike apart today. Pretty much all the bearings have issues... Front hub spins great but is loose and feels dry, rear hub doesn't spin well and the coaster brake needs a rebuild, bearing races in the headset are shot and the bottom bracket cups aren't much better. Took a lot...

    1941? Colson/Goodyear Clipper

    Clippers seem to popping up all over the place recently. I found this bike on my local craigslist today, I took one look at those fender braces and I knew I was about to make a bad decision... It appears to be a Colson/Goodyear Clipper that is missing the tank, chainguard, the correct rack...

    Gravity racer - Calling all daredevils!

    Yeah, its a "ghetto" steering damper. I've seen people using steering dampers from street bikes and dirt bikes to dampen the steering. As far as I know it works, no wobble and there is a bit more steering resistance.

    Gravity racer - Calling all daredevils!

    I just got into gravity bikes in the last couple days (partially thanks to this thread) and finally decided what to do with the bmx bike i've been failing at selling. Yesterday it looked like this: And after I finished with it today it looks like this:

    Sick Bike

    I'm curious if there's anything solid underneath all the sand, gravel and rust. Link: http://humboldt.craigslist.org/bik/2445024727.html

    How did you come up with your AVATAR ? And Screen Name ?

    Bob Lutz pimping next to a Opel Kadett he rolled on a test track. What more needs to be said?

    Identification help

    I bow down to your superior knowledge. Now that you've pointed it out I can see subtle differences between the Elgin and Schwinn. Looks like there's hope after all. Guess I'll put a wanted ad up. Thanks for the info.

    Identification help

    Thanks! Stoked to finally have a good idea of what it is. Been bugging the heck out of me for three years. I remember thinking that it looked like filler was used to make the "fillet" between the top & bottom tubes. Are you sure thats a Schwinn in the picture? Cause the frame looks identical...

    Identification help

    Back in 2007 I walked past this bike almost daily going to class at SJSU. At the time I knew very little about bikes, and never did more than take this picture and do a few walk-arounds. I immediately fell in love with the frame and have been trying to figure out what it was ever since. Found...
