    Another Great Score

    I saw this in the back of a coworkers truck heading for the dumps. I showed interest in it and he is the kind of guy that wants something for everything. anyway i thought it was cool and gave him $50.00 for it. Turns out to be a 1972 Peugeot PX10 top of the line racing bike and these were...

    Raleigh Sports

    I actually bought 2 of these, so far this is the best of both. The Cedo lock works, the lights work, thats the original bell and it shifts nicely. I still need to get the tailight back on. From what I can tell on the late Sheldon Browns page, its a 1970-1971 model.

    My 2 newest old bikes

    First is a Raleigh Sports from I believe 1970-1971. I actually bought 2 of them, this is the best of both, I have a cedo lock for the rear wheel to put on as well as a tailight. I saved all the premade cables and brakes and will put some single speed wheels on the other and use it as a...

    Ratatwouie

    My camera is presently out of town with the wife and I will post a pic as soon as I get it back. Im starting out with a faded red Huffy Daisy tandem that I belive was made in 1973. Tires and tubes are shot, both crank arms are bent, pedals are junk, and the chainguard resembles Lombard Street...

    Schwinn Coffee

    Has anyone seen the new Schwinn Coffee 3 speed bike? I have seen an ad in Bicycling magazine for it but none of the Schwinn dealers in Denver have one. It has to be special ordered here for some strange reason. Its a skinny tire 3 speed bike like an old suburban. I was wondering if anyone...

    My Nightster

    I scored this Electra Coaster basically brand new from a lady on Craigslist. Her boyfriend didn't like it. I swapped out the front tire, pedals, wheel reflectors, bars, valve caps, and grips. I added the truss rods, bell, and rear fender. The secret to this bike is a very light aluminum...

    A Breaking Away Bike

    The official before shot from the craigslist ad of this AMF Roadmaster I bought several months ago. I have disassembled it and am cleaning the parts. Cant believe how much grime can be on a bike. The wheels are salvageable but the spokes are shot. They will have to do, the chainring and...

    Solano County Choppers

    I found this shop while googling board trackers, They sell a bike called the xcelsior. Its a whizzer engine and drivetrain build on a boardtrack style frame. They are also on Myspace.com. I wasnt sure of the legalities of posting their pictures or links but google will give you the info...

    Board tracker questions

    I have been thinking about doing a board track style bike for some time. Some of the bikes on here are really amazing but it seems to me the seat is too low and too close to the crank. This seems to me it would make the bike not fit and would be unable to ride it. I build lots of bikes but...
