    26' Schwinn S2 tire options?

    I've decided I would like to keep the original wheels on my 52 Panther and trying to figure out what my tire options are? Will the common tires like 26x2.125 quick bricks fit the S2 wheels? Right now it has mountain bike tires someone threw on there and there's so much conflicting info on this...

    '52 Rat Panther

    Just picked this up from a CL ad. If I would quit buying bikes I might actually finish the projects I've already started. As for now, I just want to get a nice set of wheels with the fattest tires I can possibly fit on this thing. Possibly paint it, but no time soon. I could really use some...

    Evapo-rust Warning!

    After reading the countless good reviews and having this stuff recommended to me, I decided to buy some because the rear rack on my Cosmic Flyer had a few tiny specs of rust in the paint. The paint was near perfect but I decided not to hand polish it out because I didn't want to wear away any of...

    Cosmic Flyer

    I didn't have plans on buying another bike but you know how that goes. I had called before inquiring about this craigslist bike but the price combined with the distance deterred me. Anyway, the owner called me back yesterday and cut the price in half so I went for it. My build off bike is called...

    Cosmic Cruiser

    I'm back in. I made a few minor changes to my build plans while staying true to the the original look I want. This build is a "what if" build as in what if a bicycle company partnered with a automobile company in the 60's to build a beach cruiser. This will be a "new" clean version. I was...

    Flying blue prism

    I don't have a well thought out plan for this AMF flying wedge so we'll just have to see what becomes of it together.

    What is this?

    One of my friends sent this pic to me asking what kind of bike this is. All I can make out is the chain guard says Roadmaster and has what looks like jets or rockets on it. It was used on Robins Air Force base for a number of years. I'm guessing AMF? No clue what year it is??? Anybody know?

    Vista Banana rebuild

    Been sourcing parts for the banana to get it back stock correct. Not sure if I will go the full resto route but as it stands now I'm just putting it back together leaving original paint and chrome intact. This bike came with a yellow stingray seat and blown front tire. Still haven't cleaned her...

    Panama Jack wheel mod?

    Anybody familiar with the 26" wide wheels that are on the new huffy Panama Jack bikes? I have a set I got cheap but the rear hub was taken apart. I either need a new single speed hub (I don't know what kind)or,what I would rather do,is install a 3 speed hub and add a shifter. Can this be done...

    Vista.....the Banana

    Drove 4hours round trip yesterday to get my first multi geared muscle bike. I'm absolutely glowing like a kid on Christmas morning. The bike is in much better shape than I thought it was. What looked liked rust was actually some grease splatters that's wiping right off. It's missing the original...
