Hello I almost made this from scratch, the frame is a modified bmx frame. I am from Queensland, Australia. This is listed on ebay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... :MESELX:IT PICS BELOW

1. because i stuffed up my cotterpin based cranks and had no replacement and needed to use the bike in order to commute. 2. the fact that converting the bottom bracket altogether means i could use single peice crank. (was a s was a bonus - i used to make room for cotter pins as part of "old...

to be honest i do love it because i don't mind working on it, but it's taken a while to figure out. the hubs as a whole are really cruisey, the weight makes for momentum which is actually quite enjoyable if you're willing to give up the force it takes to pedal such a heavy bike (it is...

what is mtb? thanks for advice... may end up trying that

Re: "The Lucky 13" - Tiki-Shifter build is your name based on the band "Deadbolt" ? They're one of my favourites.

Re: "The Lucky 13" - Tiki-Shifter build you going to ever finish this? i'm looking at a clean way to attach a bar to a twist shifter making a stick shifter. ;)

right i'm still getting ignored. not sure if i'm going to use that coin, i originally made it to sit on the shifter which i've now decided to sand back. here is the current progress, any suggestions?

I have created a head badge custom which I'm going to use, rivet on after bending it a bit.

"double shift"? I ride it for the first time 5 minutes ago, and the seat with the spring works great without padding, the brake on the front is almost enough in itself to stop you at great speed, and the "handbrake" is fantastic, for anyone who wonders. That said, I'm unnaturally coordinated...

Hey guys. I actually just had a question that I wanted to ask for my current build but decided it would be nice to share the current progress pics of my first lowrider build. My question is if anyone has the "Sturmey archer" logo on the front of this kind of t-bar shifter that i could print out...

Hi guys Two questions - one newbie and one less newbie 1) is a fixed gear hub similar to a coaster brake? I just had he sudden realisation that backpedalling would be a form of braking, and have steered clear of the "fixie" fad until now. 2) I hear you can convert sturmey 3 speeds to 2 speed...

ok i will, i've got about 3 bikes being built right now and all of them are just waiting for some spokes... cant believe how much none of the wheels had good enough spokes from my shelf for them....

Hi guys I know its a bit cheapskate, but it might allow for greater creativity: What would be the best kind of glue and application method for making some custom vinyl handlebar tape? Has anyone done this before? If I can figure out a way to do this properly I might have discovered a way to...

hi cheers i did google and find that they're used on recumbents but just wanted to see whether that's the only place they come.

sorry to correct, its not a malvern star long frame at all, its only a baby one.

Hi guys Just to get everyone's attention i thought i'd show the bike i used with the sachs vt5000 before i asked a question about it: Anyway, i've sourced a guy on ebay who seems to run across the front hub (sachs vt5000) quite often and is selling used ones, so i asked him what kind of...

hi first post, probably will be on here more often, im from brisbane, australia, into collecting ratty old bikes and bike parts and maken em into cool ..... the way i deal with this is 2 steps 1. squirt a bit of bike chain oil and in between the grip and the handlebar... 2. use a vice grip...

what does that brand say on the speedo? where did u get it?! oh sorry i forgot to sayy - this bike is a mad peice of work amazing stuff.
