I'm looking for a fork to use on my build and I can not find out if my headtube is 1" or 1 1/8". I also would like some feedback on the fork I decided to use if in fact my headtube is 1". http://bikebuyers.com/PART-FY-TPT-570.htm Is the 26" a good length where I will not look chopperish...

Picked this up last night from a guy who had close to 30+ bicycles in his kitchen and living room. I thought I walked into Heaven there for a minute! So I got this bike for my fiancee.. she wanted a bike and she loves older bikes like me so we are going to work on it together and get it just...

I'm picking this bike up for my fiancee as a build up for her birthday. I'm not too sure the value of one of these but I got to get it.. it just grabs my attention. Please any info or advice on this model bike would be appreciated?

I could not resist buying myself a modern, cheap and somewhat reliable bike to build. I picked this up today @ walmart and got 15% off due to some rust on the crankset and kickstand. :) Tomorrow I'll have the fenders marked and shortened and possibly some diff bars. I love the seat but this...

I'm looking to install one on my bike, I'm just curious as to if this particular model will work for me? I have a 26" bike set-up and not looking to make a long front end and know if this will fit into my head tube. Thanks guys. http://bikebuyers.com/PART-FY-TPT-570.htm

I'm very interested in how the tanks on these bikes were painted? Mine is rusted and I am unable to see the theme on the few photo's I find online. It would seem it had a 2 tone scheme possibly or something rather one solid color due to the awesome lines. If anyone could help me out so I can...

I'm looking for a nice headlight on my cafe` racer inspired build. I'm not sure where to pick up a light/housing? I'm looking for a nice large circle light. Anyone know if there is one for a bike or is everyone modifying a junkyard gem to work? Thanks guys. Here is what type of light I'm...

I am sourcing a crank and bottom bracket that will work on my goodyear highway patrol bike circa 1950's. I removed the original set-up and tried my bmx bikes 3-piece crank but the bearing cups wont fit into the bottom bracket. They are just barely too large in diameter. I want to use my 3-piece...

Picked this up as a complete minus pedals, wheels and chain from my father in law. It sat for over 20 years as a scrap pile and I just had to save it. 80% of this bike is covered in rust NOT a problem with me. :) I love cafe` racers, the styling just inspired me to create my own version using...

Started out as a frame/tank rotting away in a scrap pile. I ended up with it and pieced together with remains of other bikes I've had and this is it for now. I'm sourcing the proper crank, I have the original crank and sprocket (skip tooth) but trying to find a more modern set-up. Once I find a...

Ok I'm on a budget and want to build this bike up to ride since being saved from life under bushes, trash and a ton of other junk. The crank seems to be fairly free of grime and all but the sprocket is a skip tooth and it doe snot have the original wheels. So I opted a newer wheel and plan to...

I'm located in the south east and really big into bikes. I just picked up my first "old" bike. It is a Goodyear highway patrol bike with some damage. I might be getting another and piecing both together to make one. I can say this is a new found interest dealing with older bikes. I hope to get...
