My 14yo son rides my Super Deluxe all the time with no problem and he's about 5'5". The seat could even be lowered some too.

After seeing this new color in the catalog I am almost regretting mine so early. I still like my blue Super Deluxe but that color is really sweet. So I noticed you changed the tires, saddle and grips, headlight and ditched the wheel reflectors. Did I miss anything?

This is my daily driver. It is a 2010 "justacooper". What it lacks in horsepower it more than make up in handling. I'd almost say that it'll out handle my Porsche. It's comfortable for short and long haul driving and on my last 300+ mile road trip it got almost 50mpg with the cruise control set...

I sent this one to a local hobby store in hopes that it either sells or brings in business... its painted inside out as with most all R/C car bodies

While I hate the smell of cigarettes, I do believe people have the right to smoke as long as it doesn't affect my right to breath. My pet peeve is stopping at stop signs and stop lights and seeing piles of old butts dumped out. I also don't care for driving down the road and having a cigarette...

Per my sig, I'm an airbrush artist. I've done quite a few shirts and R/C cars amung other items. My new direction will be more toward the fine art side of things though I'll probably still keep to my trasportation stuff but pin-ups have always been a fancy of mine. My wesite is...

There really isn't much wrong with the paint beside a few scrapes and scratches from the past 16 years. I just want to paint a bicycle and she'd probably like something more feminine. Next up will be some fatter and smoother tires and fenders. Yeah, bigj, I know my limits. I gave it a shot and...

Here's the bike I'm working on... My wife likes it so far. New seat, rack, stem, bars and grips. Maybe I'll paint it this winter.

Well, so far I haven't done so well. The seat, stem and bars were a breeze but I gave up on all the darned cables. Putting an adjustable stem and 5" riser bars on my wife's 18 year old hybrid Schwinn was more work than I had imagined. There just wasn't enough cable to use. I've sent the bike to...

Re: "The Salt Shaker" update 7/12 Pinstriped! HotRodJen, I'm becoming a big fan of yours. Because Rustoleum is an oil based paint, it flows as it dries basically self leveling. Krylon is acrylic so it needs to be put on in wetter coats. I usually spray one or two mist coats to seal then two or...

Re: Artwork & Pinstriping update 7/5 wow, nice work! I've always wanted to have the skills to pinstripe. One may be able to learn the technical skills, but the design work is way harder.

Here's my Rat-in-Progress...

My wife has a hybrid Schwinn from just about 20 years ago. The bike works fine but she wants to make it more comfortable. The seat was an obvious choice but now I'm looking at bringing the front up a bit more. The handle bars have been raised as far as they'll go but that's not enough. I've been...

The Fink is a three speed already.

I'm an out of shape 40 year old who just did 10+ miles Sunday with my kids. My bike is a new Electra Super Deluxe. When we got back, I wasn't feeling the lest bit tired but that may have been due to the refreshing thunderstorm we rode through. My First commute on the bike was a very hilly 8 mile...
