    Show us your Cruisers with mag wheels!

    I have a 50s CWC that I think I might put 20 inch mag wheels on... I'd like to see some non-bmx nikes with mags!

    GT Pro Performer 26

    Anybody have one? I'm on the fence. Looking to get one of these or a Big Ripper. I'm 6'1 245... will I be able to cruise comfortably on a 26 inch BMX? Nothing serious, just cruise with my daughter and maybe pull her in the little trailer for a while.

    SE Big Ripper or Felt Rail... HELP!

    I need help spending my tax refund... Any other options I should consider? I'm looking for a BMX style cruiser (prefer a more vintage look) that isn't SUPER expensive. I'm 6'1 and don't really want to be all crowded in a small bike. Thanks!

    Non-Factory / Homemade racks

    I know this has been a topic before, but I would like to see what people have done in order to create cool / unique rear racks on their bikes. I am about to order a new cruiser... liked this Felt Jetty, but decided against it and am about to order a Worksman. I decided I only liked the Jetty...

    Help... opinions needed

    Tried this with a black banana seat and this Schwinn seat, but not in love with either. Any ideas?

    Louisville, KY mayor's ride May 28th

    My collection

    Barely can call it a "collection", but it's not a "fleet" either, but here is what I have... besides the current builds and mountain bikes. Not very impressive when you can get them in one picture!

    KHS - Hot Rod

    Saw this in a mountain biking mag I get... thought it was cool and that folks here might be interested. http://www.khsbicycles.com/10_hot_rod_blk_12.htm Obviously we know what it's trying to copy, but I thought I would share since I hadn't seen it on here.

    Covering a seat

    Has anyone tried to cover a seat with regular fabric? I am doing a build for my Dad (Christmas present) on a bike that belonged to my Grandpa. I am trying to make the bike resemble my Grandpa's truck, but I also want to use some things that remind me (and my Dad) of my Grandpa. Couple things I...

    Coaster Brake Bracket

    Not sure what the technical term is... but the piece that attaches the coaster arm to the chainstay. Does it have a name?! I would love to see some of the more creative things to use to attach these. I heard of someone making them with old spoons, seen leather straps, and various metal pieces...

    BMX Cruiser Frame Set

    The more I look at the pics... the more I want one of these. I like the Skull Skates frame set and the Pork Chop BMX, but I was just curious if there are any other options I should look at?

    Bottom Bracket Bearing Cups

    I am in the process of putting a new BB and crank on my 50s Road Master. The new bearing cups I bought went on REALLY easy... as in just sit in there. I put everything together and it seems to operate fine, but I was under the impression that the bearing cups are hard to get on and fit very...

    Fatti-O tire on 1.75 rim?

    I have a set of Fattio-O tires that are 24x3... planning to order some rims for a build that are 24x1.75. Will I have an issue with mounting them? Should they fit in a 68' Schwinn frame? I have the tires, which are over $40 each so I would like to use them, but I don't want to have to do too...

    My first Build: MEGATRON

    Well... I stumbled upon this site after buying an Electra Straight 8 on craigslist. I am now in the process of my first actual build. I got a 50s (I was told) RoadMaster off craigslist that I plan on making a really nice rider out of. I have ordered a 3 speed wheelset, sulkys, bars, stem, and...

    Shifter Question

    Anyone know if this SA shifter will work with the Nexus 3 speed on my Straight 8? http://www.amazon.com/Sturmey-Archer-St ... roduct_top I would like to get the shifter down off my handle bars, but can't seem to find a trigger or lever shift to use. Anyone have a link to a better option?

    First build... drop some knowledge on me

    Well... this is my first project and it has started slow. Everything went well, except now I can't get the crank out for some reason, but I will work on that later. I have this old Road Master and like the blue, but I want to paint the bike. I would like to paint it black, but I don't want it...
