That's a cool bike! What does the head badge look like? That bike and Flint have a lot in common, they both have seen better days!

Was on my way to the Detroit are for audio-karma fest and the Ann Arbor bike show and stumbled on this at a goodwill while making a pit stop. I think it is from 1987. It is a Ross Mt. Hood High tech. It has a cromoly frame is a shimano sis 18 speed. It has U breaks and has one under the frame. I...

Thanks, I thought it might be a good buy. It has me leaning tword a bmx cruiser. I also found this a couple of weeks ago. I tore it down already so I did not take a pic when I first got it. This is a pic from the internet. The bike was in good shape except for a bent fork. The kicker is it had a...

I found this seat at goodwill for 2 dollars. I looked underneath it and saw it was a kashima. It did not sound like something that common so I looked it up on my droid and saw that they were kind of higher end. Does anyone know anything about these seats. There does not seem to be a lot of info...

http://www.heritage.com/articles/2011/0 ... 210202.txt Was looking for info on my Schwinn Heavy Duti and found this. I thought you all would like it!

Oh that's cool I am keeping that on it! Yeah I like the yellow, I hate the blue.

I found this bike on craigslist. It is pretty beat up. I don't like getting nice condition bikes because i am worried about screwing them up. I would rather get a beater and fix it up. Here it is! Does anyone know why the leather thing would be on the front hub? What do you guys think I should...

I like how the apes got some patina too, makes them fit the bike perfect :D

To bad it says toyota on it! That ruins a cool toy.

how much should I use

What type of oil should I use to lubricate a shimano three speed hub. The hub is from the 70's. It seems to shift and spin well. I read somewhere on the net that I should use to low weight auto oil but that seems weird to me.

I like it, looks ratty!

That bike would look cool painted Harley orange, since the H-D XR750 is the king of the flat track!

Yeah the other one is a 24 incher. I am debating if I should throw the rims and the grip shifter on my Schwinn typhoon. Not sure what I should do. That 26 inch jc penny is so light and with the 3 speed hub it will probably really cook! Oh the choices!

Thanks, I think it has some potential. I found a bike similar at a thrift store today. It has a three speed hub also. I only paid 5 bucks for it and I think with the two bikes I can make one good one.
