    Tempe, Az bike night 1/17

    I'm a little bitter I didn't find out about this earlier... but it wouldn't have made a difference. I have an obligation and can't make it. Maybe some AZ folks can make it? http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/get_ou ... 963f4.html

    another tricycle, Sun Atlas chopper

    Both my girlfriend and I love riding my Bel Air tricycle... so I decided to build her a tricycle for Christmas. Most of the Bel Air build can be seen here: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=50819 Here's what the Sun tricycle looked like before I started cutting it up...

    Status Suspension, anyone bought from them?

    Has anyone bought anything from Status Suspension? These guys have a smoking price on a some tires I need for a new tricycle build. I've never heard of them... So, I hope somebody has had some experience with them before I start sending them credit card numbers. :)...

    Tour De Fat, Tempe AZ Oct. 6th

    Anybody else going? I'll be there with my trike and the special lady friend will be rolling on her Electra Betty. I just repaired two flat tires this morning... thorns. I still haven't had much luck getting the SA five speed adjusted though. This guy was at last years event...

    Belair tricycle

    I don't post much... I seldom think I have anything worth posting. I got an e-mail from a guy at the local bike shop tonight, he can get my new transmission/jackshaft hub... :P So, now I'm fired up about my ticycle but I'm too lazy to actually go work on it. I'm going to scratch my "bicycle...

    A few Worksmans and a trike of mine-

    I ended up changing the seat post for a straight one after this picture: I've added fenders to this one... I guess I should have got newer pictures to post, huh? My latest project is this Trike. It's a 10 footer, I did a quickie paint job so I could ride it at the Fat Tire "Tour De Fat"...

    Cut and weld first, then details... :)

    Long story short: I've grafted the front of a OCC type stingray onto the back half of an old Columbia trike. I'm fishing for ideas on how to get the chain line fixed. The uber wide Stingray bottom bracket is too wide for the trike three speed hub and axle set up. My current option is to...

    Costa Rican Raleigh?

    Crazy! I was in Costa Rica all last week for work. Part of that required doing some car trips in the back roads of Costa Rica - going to a couple of small towns to see a lead recycler and a cement kiln. Costa Rica is a pretty rural country and not many people have a lot of money so you see...

    Mercury frame

    ahh... the one that got away. So, a couple of weeks ago I saw a Mercury frame on eBay. It was only a few miles from my house and the seller was nice enough to let me look at it. It was in pretty decent shape and it had a pretty cool paint scheme on it. What really sold me on it was the...

    1957 Schwinn Value?

    I found a bike advertised locally that looks interesting but I am clueless as far as the value is concerned. I've been thinking I'd like to have an old Scwinn to work on instead of my Worksman and this bike would be a cool start. Description: This is a 1957 Schwinn Jaguar Mark II in...

    SA hubs n' shifters

    In another thread I mentioned I wanted to pull my wheels apart for some painting. While I've got the wheel apart I am thinking about installing a Sturmey-Archer multi-speed hub. My question is mainly about shifters. If I go with a 3 or 4 speed hub I would like to use one of the Schwinn or...

    Galvanic corrosion?

    I have an early 80's eara Worksman Cycles bicycle with Worksman wheels. These wheels are beasts! I am not sure what they had in mind for their bikes, but they went overboard on the wheels. (45mm wide with 11 ga spokes!) I think Worksman used to make Postal bikes, so maybe the mail man is...

    Nice Forum

    I kicked around here for just a minute and I saw some cool stuff, so I registered... (for the short version drop down to the last paragraph) I had been sitting on my Worksman beach cruiser for years. I bought it in 1982ish. Last spring I got the urge to get it road worthy again. It...
