    Fresh meat for the fleet. R

    I had a Trek Woody and rode it for approx. 3000 miles. Awesome ride. Then I gave it to my father-in-law who is still riding it. Nice score, thanks for the pictures. Gary

    Trek OCLV 9800 mtb

    Like I said , it was just a thought. I'm not that versed in aluminum alloys. I hope you can repair it and have some fun with it. I'll be watching for the fix. It will probably be something so simple....we just want to make it complex. Good luck and have fun in the process. Gary

    Trek OCLV 9800 mtb

    Just a thought. I would go to a semi-trailer repair shop or find a good welder in your area that can weld aluminum. I don't know if J.B. weld would handle the stress very well. Or check with the local Harley Davidson shop. They know where all the good welders are located. Gary

    1983 Jamis BOSS BMX Cruiser 5 Speed

    I bought a Jamis Boss Cruiser 5 frame and fork at at bicycle swap meet this summer in Lincoln Ne. I added some Electra Fattio 24 x 3 on it just to see if I liked it. I've been asked if it's for sale many times this summer. It's a keeper. Yours is a awesome find and thanks for showing it to...

    24" Kona Two-Four 2001 BMX

    Awesome score. This summer I purchased a 1998 Dyno Nitro 24" just because I always wanted one. Your Kona is way nicer and rarer. Thanks for the post. Gary

    UPDATE: Anyone put motorcycle bars on thier builds?

    I put a set of Renthal bars on my 26" BMX cruiser. I love the cross brace pieces. Now I'm always on the lookout for cool motorcycle handle bars. If the price is right. Gary

    Measure diameter of chainring to know how many teeth?

    My bike buddies think I'm crazy but most of my sprockets hanging in the wall have the teeth number marked with a black sharpie on them. Plus I take more time to get a good riding radio and just not slap parts together and then try to figure out why the bike pedals hard. Those old ratios took...

    ELECTRA SUPER 72

    Awesome score. I love the 20" bikes. Between My wife and I (4 Electra's) and my son and daughter-inlaw (2 Electra's) and his 3 year old son (1 electra 20" inch) we have quite a collection. It's contagous..........but the 20" Electra Rat Rod is totally bad to the bone. Gary

    Cool things to do with a Girls Bike?

    Go to the "builds" section. And under "Huffman I-beam" see what I did to an old girls bike. It was fun to do and the bike rides really well. I need to post somemore pictures. Champion123

    jeers to Bell Bicycle products

    I bent a pair of Bell Cruiser Bow peddals after riding into the wind just 15 minutes after installing them. I'll never buy Bell products again. Cheap,Cheap,Cheap. Gary

    Can't find a shop to straighten forks

    I've clamped the both blades in a large vise with the threaded portion sticking up. And with a 3 foot length of pipe that just fits over the threaded portion slowly apply bending pressure. Two or three attempts may be required to get it back to straight. I use smooth vise jaws to avoid...

    What is a big/tall classic frame?

    I know the new Trek Cruisers have a 21" frame, And I'm 6"2" and I like the Electra "foot forward" technology. Plus finding a "lay back" type seat post will help you lower your seat and give you a little more stretch. I don't mind a high seat post, but I can't figure how they ride them with...

    Bike Rack Confusion

    I just purchased a new 2012 GMC full size pick-up (8 ft. box) and I want to haul 2 Electra Cruisers around the state on our vacation. I would prefer to stand the bikes straight up, and to not take off any of the wheels. What have you guys done in the past? Fabrication is an option, but I...
