Hello, Not sure if this belongs in the wanted section or if it's okay here. I'm looking for someone to build me an early board tracker frame. I'll post some photos when I get a chance. No need to be accurate to one manufacturer. Rear facing dropouts and ground down or braced looking welds...

Bought 2 of these for the wheels for my motorized bike. Frames were in great condition. The guys who sold them to me were really cool. They have more if anyone else in LA is interested. http://ventura.craigslist.org/bik/4844725540.html

Hello All, I wanted to hear your opinions. I am starting a build using a Raleigh DL-1 as a basis. I intend to stretch the frame and add hub brakes. I'm not sure of the motor though. I have a 2000 Whizzer that I can use, but will need a rebuild soon. Or I can sell it and buy a Honda GC clone...

Hello Enthusiasts, I was thinking about making a Bowden Spaceander shell conversion kit. I would like to hear some opinions since this hasn't been done before quite like this. Bowden Spacelander was an unusual design. Not very attractive, but kinda cool. More of a novelty of history than...

Hello Everyone, I was wondering how you guys fill in the hole/holes left when cutting a downtube or chain tubes off a bottom bracket. I am making a recumbent based on two Nishiki road bikes. The male is at the rear, while the female frame is up front. The new center down tube that will connect...

Hello All, I have a modern crank I want to make look vintage. I plan to convert into a skip tooth by grinding off every other tooth. Has anyone tried this? Any performance issues like the chain falling off or pedaling is not as efficient? Any problems I'm not thinking of? My bike is a single...

Hello All, The owner of the company I work for also has a race team and race parts company. I started volunteering for the team as a Go4. Thankfully, I brought my bike to the last race and saw how useful it was. Others realize the value of bikes at the track as well. Not a lot of parking. Lots...

Hello all. I don't know how much is a fair price for one of these. 24" Elgin frame unsure of the year but pre war. Badge bolts are on the side, so it looks like a Columbia manufactured frame. Rusty. Frame only. Only reason why I'm selling is because it's not a 26". I would like to keep the...

Hello All, I wanted to add a simple how to about making tanks for a diamond frame non canti style bike. The material of choice on this project is acrylic (called perspex in the UK) but one can also use wood. I started the project with 1/8th inch MDF, but I found that it is harder to paint and...

Hello Everyone, I bought this unknown beach cruiser frame along with a China made Schwinn frame for $10 each yesterday. I can't identify it with the research I've done so far. I'm not interested in value, simply what it is. If it's a good quality brand, I'd like to do a Klunker out of it. If...

Black and white, red and white, anything and white. Anything and cream. Light blue on dark blue, etc. What do you have? What's your favorite? What would you like to do? What's your inspiration? Cheers - Rob

Hello all, Newbie question here. I've noticed some beach cruiser cantilever frames look longer than others. The downtube looks horizontal when coming from the bottom bracket, then curves upward. Is this simply visual, or are there some beach cruisers that have slightly longer wheelbases? I'm...

Hello all, Found this site and I love it! I come from a model building background but have always wanted to do practical stuff. Bike building is the best, since it is artistic and mechanical. Welding, gears, design, and a great workout. What can be better? Also, many inventors started out as...
