I was working in the lab late one night... no wait... I was working in the basement late one afternoon. When my eyes beheld an eerie sight... Actually it was a previous build... When it started to change right before my very eyes... it became something else... something sinister.

So today started off with a bang. A bad one. My mom called and told me that my girlfriends car had leaked something all over their driveway when I was there yesterday with it. So it turns out that it's oil... and a bad leak. Not sure where yet. Then I went about feeding my many reptiles...

Okay so I ain't no Hotrod Jen or any other great pinstriper but I am satisfied with my own work. So what do you guys think? Be gentle it's my first time :D The chainguard is going on my Huffy Laredo that I have been customizing the last couple days. (I'll post pics when I'm done). I...

I've been on cloud nine for the last two days. I finally have my Coca-cola bike rideable! I've been stoked to get it finished for a long time now. This is my first "real" build really so it's special to me. I have been up and down the street a few times to try everything out and it rides...

My winter rider is a Supercycle Hooligan that I scored for nothing. The bike was rough when I got it and in need of a tear down and tune up. I decided to ride it as is until spring when I have other bikes to ride then tear it down and clean it up. Well it didn't work out that way. It gave...

I was sent this in an email... I have no idea if it's possible or if it would be even a comfortable ride. All I know is that I laughed out loud at this... :D

So I have a mountain bike I've been riding through the winter and planned on riding when I joined the group in Oakville on New Years Day for the Krusherz ride. However yesterday I was out riding and developed a bad wobble in the back wheel. I walked it home tried to fix it but it's beyond my...

Twas the night before Christmas (a visit from St. Nicholas) Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all...

I scored this one the other day. I plan on keeping it as it is for now. I'll paint it in the spring. I have an idea for this style of frame for another build so when I get another one I'll show you what I have in mind. Other than a seized back brake this bike wasn't too bad. Front shock...

Just a few images of my walk today. It was a long one and it was REALLY cold. But it was sunny. :D I found a posting along the walking/bike path that I thought was interesting. Orillia used to have a bicycle club called the Knights of the Wheel... Here's the picture on the information...

I just watch this on ICoke.ca and I thought I would share... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-hXcRtbj1Y Looks like fun. :D

So my girlfriends father saved me a trip to their cottage and brought me back this today. I have the serial # but I can't figure out the year based on what I read through the Huffy Serial Number link in the forum. The number is 081303 K0193... The bike is in great shape. A little rust here...

I don't have a clue the age or brand or anything of the bike. All I know is that the ditch I found it in didn't give up easily. :x The pedals say made in Germany on them. There is a few layers of paint so I can't find a serial number yet. However lets see what you guys can tell me and I'll...

I was out on a walk today and I passed by an old scrap yard, through the fence I saw several old looking bike frames and bikes. I know for sure the scrap yard has been shut down for many, many years. I'd really like to have a look at those frames but I have no way of finding out who owns the...

I don't know if anyone has seen the show Auction Hunters but I just watched these guys sell a Schwinn Autocycle from '36/'37 with all it's original parts and such for $3400. They're "expert" valued the thing at $8000 :shock: I've read before on the site that American Pickers and other such...

I was looking at new folding bikes on a website and saw these tires and thought they would be great for the project I'm working on. However I don't even know where to start looking for them... The article I found these on was an article on folding bikes... it was interesting in itself...

This was sent to me in an email. I thought I'd share. Really, really impressive riding. http://wimp.com/bicycleskill/

So here is the beginning of the project. I hadn't joined the forum until after I had dismantled the bike. But I figure you guys know what they look like anyway. :D The bike is a '84 Supercycle (Canadian Tire brand I don't know who makes it). And here is a mock up of my thoughts on the bars...

So this morning I got up and had every intention of going on a nice long ride. The sun was shining outside so I was excited about another good day of riding... Until I saw the snow... :x I know, I live in Canada! SNOW HAPPENS!! But when you only recently get a bike and you really want to get...

I have a couple of road bikes that came into my possession. One I wish to restore and sell. It seems worth it. The other is not. The other is a cheap Canadian Tire model from the 80's that is in rough shape. I'd like to rat the thing but my issue is no welder. I don't have one, can't buy...
