    Are these worth the trouble?

    I told her no after looking closer at the pic. If they were 25.00 and closer I would get them but I just dont see anything special in this deal although bikes look pretty decent. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Are these worth the trouble?

    These are 45 miles away and 60.00. Lady says one is a Haro kids, one Giant cruiser single speed and a single speed Sun Drifter with foreword pedals. I want the Sun and would sell the others but not sure if I could even get my money back considering bicycles around here arent worth scrap...

    Brand new trike score

    I have owned nearly 40 trikes and the most I ever paid was 75.00.This one was special tho.Suns are my second favorite. Trailmates are # 1 in my book.Worksmans are good made but no picnic to ride very far. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Weird seat

    I figure it was to keep the seat from rocking backwards.And yes I think that was some modified seat . I know it was not original. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Weird seat

    I picked up this AMF cruiser a few weeks ago.I gave it to a lady for yard art since it wasn't worth anything but I did take a pic of the strange seat brace that seems to serve no purpose. Ever seen anything like it or know what its for? Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Rollfast tire size

    I am suppose to be getting a Free Spirit today with 175s on it. I will experiment with a 175 front and see how it feels.That 2.125 has like a sheet of paper side clearence and a very tiny scrub. I think it could use taller handlebars too.No a comfortable ride b3cause your bent over and...

    Rollfast tire size

    I have always wanted a twin top tube Rollfast and finally got this frame in a trade. I built it for myself but was wondering ....should I keep the 2.125 balloons or how would 175s be? The balloons work fine but theres very little side clearance at the fork. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Whats this prewar?

    With With a few borrowed parts I had it riding. Now I will set it aside until I can locate a junk Wally cruiser for some wheels. I salvaged the front one but it wont last long.As for that raked fork it steers fine with no side pull so I assume its factory made like that. Sent from my GT-P5113...
