I can't believe what someone did to that sweet looptail cruiser. I'd find out what that is and see if it's salvageable to it's past glory.

Finally finished

Looks like a Cycle Pro or Norco-they had the same bike styles, just different names. Looks cool!

Here is what I'm trying to match The more I read, the "silver" brass on nipples is not brass at all? I do like steampunk:)

I've got a wheelset that has natural brass colored spokes on one wheel and the other has newer plated (?) brass nipples. I want to get them to match, so does anyone know what that plating (are they plated? coated?) is, and can it be removed to get to the natural brass underneath? Maybe muratic...

Would trade for motomags- but don't tell my wife:)

Usually a buyer, not a seller, but... I picked up these Spin Tri Spoke wheels and have decided that I'll never own a bike cool enough to put these on. $250.00 local p/u only. 26" size. No cassette or skewers. Both spin great, Good condition- no cracks, hops, or bends. Expected wear on wheels...

Thanks Tristan. I think the stem is the best part on there.:happy:

Haven't put a chain on it yet, but in sitting on it it feels like I'm bigger than the bike, like when you sit on a 20" versus when I sit on some of my 26". I'm 5'7", so it fits me. Not sure if a bigger guy would like it.

Okay, thought I'd bring this thread back up for some air. Been pecking and poking at it. Just some details left to do, but usually thats the hardest part:). I tried to make some waterslide decals with paper from the hobby shop, but I wasnt happy with the quality so I took them off. Plan B for...

Got mine today, thanks!

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement fellas. I was. already thinking about another 24 with a tubular fork, comp IIIs, and skyways, so we think alike! Here is a link to that scrambler build (hope it's ok with the mods:)) http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=698140 Did a quick...

Ok, not a whole of updates- put another coat on frame/forks and soaked some rusty bits from the headset and crank in vinegar. As I go along, I wanted to add some extras to it, like custom decals and a head badge, so I'll add that to the punch list. I also wanted to add a crossbar pad to the...

Orange just says 70's to me, so I I picked up some farm implement spray paint in Allis Chalmers orange. They made some cool looking tractors.

I had got this 24" Hawthorne a while back, not knowing what to do with it, but the price was right-free. Recently I had been following a build on another site where the member was building a 24" Schwinn Scrambler replica and it inspired me to do something with this one. I've liked the look of...

Glad everything worked out, but even at $150, you, -in the parlance of our time-"left alot of meat on that bone".

Late to this thread, but those hubs are $$$$$.

The bike gods smiled on you my friend.:)

Found this 80s Jamis Earth Cruiser recently in pretty good shape. Sometime in its past someone messed around with it as it has redline cranks and grips. The kabuki theater is this frankensteinish road bike I picked up a little while ago - mostly for the parts that didn't belong on it. Its a...
