    Smaller wheel and v pull brakes

    What is the advantage of the smaller wheels? I'm wondering why not just get an appropriate rear 26" wheel, and make your life easier?

    Secure a "tank" into frame?

    THis trash find will make a cool head light

    You stuff the scorpions into the bottle ALIVE, while they're still flexible. Then you fill the bottle with isopropyl alcohol, killing and preserving the critters.

    full wrap fender

    I saw a great looking taildragger fender a while back! The kid who built it said he used 2 plastic replacement fenders cut and butted together . He used the cutoffs as a "scab" underneath. He said he epoxied them together ,then smoothed the join with Plasti-Pair. Just a thought!

    29er tires? What wheel size?

    I'm digging this look! (onyx brand 29er cruiser sold at Walmart ) Can a 29 tire go on a 26" wheel? Can this look be gotten on an old cruiser? Not willing to pay $180 for a Walmart bike ! Just wondering what would be involved! Thanks !

    Stupid nooby seat question

    Could someone post a picture of how a seat typically mounts to the seat post ? I got mad at the previous bike and welded the seat rails to the post. ( yeah, I know...) I'd like to figure out how it should really be done. I'm assuming that I'm missing a clamp or something . Thanks!
