I picked up this Higgins as a throw in with a couple Schwinn lightweights about four weeks ago. Over in the Fresh Finds section I was told it was Monarch built from 1949. I've been trying to find information on it for weeks now and have come up pretty much empty. I'd really like to find a...

Picked this Racer up with with a couple other bikes, as detailed in this thread viewtopic.php?f=16&t=70719, but as it's too short for me.... and really just interests me the least... it will be the first of the three to go. It's not quite as clean as this picture would suggest, but i really...

I've wanted a CamelBack Schwinn for the longest time... so when this yellow Speedster popped up on Craigslist for a decent price I had to jump all over it. Cables are missing, front brakes are gone, and it's got a too fat set of Schwinn ballooners on it but I'm in love with it all ready. When...

Found these matched Huffys on Craigslist a couple weeks ago as I was looking for a girls roadie for my girlfriend. When I got there they needed all tires/tubes replaced but were really more crusty than rusty. Gave $30 for the set which was probably more than they were worth but I knew I'd be...

Found this guy hanging half out of the dumpster at a friend's apartment complex. I was initially intending on a quick tune and flip but stupid shifter/brake lever combos are shot. Trying to come up with a new plan of attack on this one now.

3 things led to this latest project: Haven't found a new bike lately to start a new build. Recently installed new kitchen counter tops. Overheard some people in a restaurant talking about the coffin derby race going on during Denton's Day of the Dead Festival...

Finally wrapped up a little photo shoot today. This Build Off was a blast to be a part of. Cheers to all who competed! HodgePodge began life as both a K-Mart cruiser and an old Raleigh road bike. Before: After: Build Thread...

Finally decided to dip my toes into the build off this year. I've had these two bikes just sitting around for a couple years receiving little to no attention so I figure this deadline might be just what I need to get something done with'em. As the photo and title suggest, it's gonna be an...

This popped up on the local CL a couple days ago and sweet lady gave me what I feel was a pretty good deal on it. Its an attractive frame and being made out of aluminum, its feather light. Being that I'm 6'3 and its a 19 inch frame, I really only bought it for the 3speed alloy wheelset. Call...

Dug this out of my grandmothers barn in East Texas this Thanksgiving. This was the first bike I ever rode without training wheels. I can still vividly remember my grandfather giving me that forceful shove and the realization that there was no one holding me up! Of course I could barley...

I'm restoring a Higgins Colorflow for the girlfriend and I've screwed up the brake hub on this somehow..... Took everything apart, cleaned, and re-packed the bearings but now there is way too much travel when applying the brake. It seems like you almost have to pedal backwards a little more than...

From what I've gathered it my time lurking here, a clunker is a cruiser turned mountain bike... right? What about a mountain bike gone cruiser style? With my search for a proper cruiser bike yielding no returns I decided to gobble up this ugly old Huffy sitting by the dumpster at my apartment...

I've been lurking over here for almost a year now(coinciding with the decision to restore my mom's rusty old Higgins Colorflow.) I've been a member over at TheCabe for a while now, but honestly this site's style of bikes interest me much more. Ive been looking for a suitable cruiser frame to...
