Hey I'm Bo - it's been some time but my love of bikes is ever present. Glad to be back!

Hey, I'm Bo - used to post on here till life took a turn. Just put together my wife's new dutch step-through and thought I reintroduce myself. Glad to be back... :D

http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_175524_-1_201521_10000_201527 Any of y'all ever used one of these? I am interested in their headsets and comfort quill stem... :D Do sealed headsets work with old crusiers?

It started Friday but it goes through this Sunday, the 11th. I'm mad I couldn't make the Friday showing of B.I.K.E, a film about tall bike culture, the outlaw bike club Black Label Bike Club and the toll of obsession/addiction/passion. Looks crazy. Might have to order the DVD...

I just got into learning how to build bikes this year, as my wife (we just got married) has an early 60's Rollfast/Firestone (the badge is from a shop) that I am slowly redoing...and a no badged Huffy? 80's ladies' cruiser that I keep ridable for her (it will get a makeover this winter). After...

I found a lugged Murray road bike on CL with horizontal dropouts, looks kinda newish...it's selling for $20. I have no clue about this brand...is it Chinese made? Are they junk? I am only intrigued because of the lugged frame... Any thoughts, guys/gals? :D

Seriously, Was I asking for scraped paint (which happened) and a night of sheer frustration as I tried to reassemble my first bike without a stand? Why yes, yes I was. Not having space, a stand or vise, and dirtying up the apartment is making me go crazy with frustration. I want to get...

Me and my lovely bride got married about 10 days ago, and to cap off the weekend we did a photo shoot...while I didn't make the deadline for getting her bike done - I popped a new seat and some Velo Orange grips on her blue (Huffy?) crusier and I grabbed my Peugeot (this fall's single speed...

So its my last night in the city...and I am going to miss the NYC bike culture and the sheer number of awesome bikes. Plenty of Raleighs, the good schwinns, old Hawthornes and even a couple of Rollfasts...not to mention all the single speed and fixies. A few ratty bikes, and just overall...

either threadkiller or topickiller. I GUESS I NEED TO FINISH MY FIRST BIKE?

My friend told me there is a vintage store in Baton Rouge LA that has some old Panasonic (odd I know) and some other random brand road bikes still in the box for $250.00 Not cruisers but NOS bikes always make me smile. Might want to go do some digging if you are in the region.

stopped off in a random shop last week, http://fleetwoodskitkat.com/ and found it was a crusiser "boutique"...decent shop, but not really rat rod but Feetwood was nice and they had some nice new bikes in rad color schemes and a few, if not a little overpriced, parts and accessories. But they DO...

I want to be working on our bikes but me and my fiance are trying to get our houses packed up for a move to Dallas, as we will be spending the first portion of our marriage there due to her getting an opportunity to go to fashion design school. I am really blessed, but this last 18 months has...

Do any of your DFW'ers know of any bike swap meets or local places to get parts for builds? I am new to bike building and I have no inventory to pull from for the 3 builds I am doing...(2 cruisers and a single speed road bike) Thanks guys...this site rules.

So, this is a bike that my fiance got. I decided to rebuild it for her as a pre-weding gift. I can't identify the make or model from the badge, other than it was made in New Orleans? It kinda looks like a Flightliner? But my education on vintage bikes is still limited. It was in fairly bad...
