Kind of a cool patine, and some neat decals on the fenders.

Anybody know where I can get parts to restore an old tricycle? Thanks, CHAZ

So I tell my grandfather I will help him with some chores around the house. On the way there I see an old tank bike, make a note to stop on the way home. He had told me a while ago he had an old girls bike I could have, I just wasn't expecting much. Turns out the girls bike is an old skip...

I got this pair of bikes pretty cheap, and I wanted to see if I could make a tandem from them. So far I have it assembled and I am doing the "shakedown" runs. Once I am sure that I have all the welding done the way it should then it will come apart and get a nice shiny coat of school bus...

I built a tandem out of two vintage Schwinns (a hollywood and a typhoon), and I am not sure I have the gearing correct. I used the two large front sprockets that were on the bikes originally as the front sprockets to link the two cranks together, and I used a smaller sprocket to run back to the...

Is there a "standard" spacing between the front and rear cranks on a tandem? I am going to try and Frankenstein one together with two old Schwinns I bought and I am not sure where to start. At first I thought I needed enough space for the crank arms to pass when one was back and the other was...

My boy had a little trouble making the hills we were on today, and I was thinking a three speed might help him (he has a non-ratrod Trek Jet 20" BMX). Does anyone know of a three speed 20" wheel I could get? Would it work to get a SA and just lace it to a 20" rim? I forgot to add that it is a...

I am not sure about the ID on this bike, I found a pic somewhere online that looked just like this, and it was listed as a 1959 Rollfast? CHAZ

I have been searching on here, and on google far and wide to find all the info that I can about bicycle sidecars. I have a neat old bike (AMF Roadmaster) that was my great grandfathers that I am redoing, and I would like to be able to ride it on the rails to trails with my daughter. Since a...

I am just getting into the bike building hobby. I am a recreational mountain biker from central PA. I have been slaving away to build a 1950ish F1 pickup truck, and I think a few bikes would be a nice break from that project. I started out buying a 1959 Rollfast Firestone bike (pics later)...
