No identifying markings. For little kids. Joystick controls the rear wheels making for an interesting ride. Bought at secondhand store only because I had never seen something like it before. What is it? Worth anything? Thanks!

Been a couple months since I completed my 1st frame modification involving a welder (stick). I'm a newbie welder, but she's still holding up so I think I'm ready to go on to welding project #2. Well, not ready in the sense that I'm a more proficient welder, but just ready to start hacking away...

I'd like to try building a trike by modifying old bicycle parts (ie, no trike frame and wheels to start with). Any suggestions on how to build a trike drivetrain including the wheels, by using existing bicycle parts and without buying any special components? I'm cheap, but also enjoy a good...

My current build may need a longer-than-usual banana seat. Don't need it to be fancy. Prefer it to be relatively easy. Probably won't upholster. I've seen some nice wooden saddles here. My default at this point may be to just shape a piece of 2x4, stain it, and call it good. Any suggestions...

Sorry if this exists already, but couldnt find it. Im looking for unique handlebars to inspire me. Ive always thought handlebars make or break the bike yet there really arent many options. Just variations on the same concept eg, tall apehangers and really tall apehangers. Im hoping to build...

Been a lurker (and enjoying it) but I'm gonna start giving now, not just taking! I've done my share of "find-parts-and-screw-them-together-wherever-they-fit" ratrods. So I was due for a "cut-up-the-frame-and-weld-pieces-together" ratrod. I'm a proud Youtube-trained welder with nearly 1 whole...

I'd like to learn gas brazing, primarily for ratrodding. Fillet specifically for now. I don't have the time to drive to a community college and sit in class for a semester. Is there anyone in the Long Beach CA area willing to provide a few brazing 101 sessions (paid of course), just enough so...

Been wanting to start brazing or welding for ratrod and hobby purposes. Love how fillet brazing looks not to mention lugs but i understand it may not be as efficient as mig. I was also told by a pro welder that you ideally should not mig thin bike tubes due to distortion. However there seems...

I'm thinking of creative (and relatively easy) ideas to make wheel covers for my 20" trike, instead of just buying them or slapping on some cheesy cardboard... I currently have a Cheerios cereal box weaved in between the spokes! I've dropped by JoAnn Fabrics and the hardware stores for some...

Would like to extend a fork. I dont have welding experience and even if i did this sounded intriguing to me... someone suggested just cutting the two ends near the middle where its not too thin. Then cutting the steerer tube off another tube and then jamming the ends of the first into the crown...

I'm working on a mid-80's Trek 620 touring bike. It's got a Suntour rear derailer that I want to replace with a newer Campy, but the bolt hole is too big. Is there an easy way to make this work? Thx!

Sorry, don't quite know which section of this forum this question fits... I live in the Long Beach CA area (south of LA). Anyone have recommendations on places to find free or near-free bikes & parts? Yeah, I know I may be asking people to reveal their secrets, but it's worth a try. I'm...

Anyone put a beefy saddle and/or a unique sissy bar on a lowrider? Would love to see some ideas. I have a dusty 20" lowrider that I'd like to give a fresh look. Figured a beefy saddle, like on a motorcycle, might look interesting and be more comfortable to ride. And any unique sissy bar ideas...
