    I stopped by a house today near a house i've been working at to ask about a bike and ended up getting it plus two more for twenty bucks. He had about thirty bikes that i saw and i guess there are about 100 more under and around an oak tree that fell down. So i may have to go back sometime and...

    Womens Hiawatha

    i believe the flag was just a decal. If that is the case the put it on both sides but only the one is still remaining, you can only see the outline on the other. Thank you all for the information on dating this bike so far.

    My girlfriends dad was cleaning out a neighbors garage and both of these were hanging from the rafters with about and inch of dust. His neighbor didn't want them so he took them and gave them to me. They are both 3spds and the womens is a 3spd coaster brake. I'm planing on keeping the mens...

    Dad's old schwinn

    The schwinn was my dad's when he was younger so i've decided to rebuild it. I'm going with schwable cream fat franks for tires, moon handle bars, 3spd coaster brake, black fenders and chain guard, with a black crusier seat. The frame color is going to be a cream close to the tires or something...

    i drilled the holes in the seat post for the leds then put glue around the edge to hold them in since i couldn't get the nut on the back side.

    Midcoast Rippin' Trike

    The sprocket doesn't walk out of the chain. The chain was about half a link short so you have the stretch the chain a little to make it fit. I got the idea from a local bike shop.

    Midcoast Rippin' Trike

    Thank you for all the compliments, and yes the sprocket just stays in place. It's there for a tensioner since i couldn't get the chain as tight as is should be.

    Midcoast Rippin' Trike

    This is it for right now. It's running 24x3 pyramid chopper tires on the rear and a 26x1.95 cruiser tire on the front. It has a 3spd rear end but the linkage has some issues so right now I just put an acorn nut with a set screw in it on so I would be in third. The frame was welded together at a...

    Hawthorne Find

    I was at a local thrift store today and found this sitting in the corner. It needs the rims shined and some new white walls but other than that she's good to go. I don't think it was a bad find for $40 bucks.

    Thrift store find

    I was at a local thrift's warehouse which is full of old bikes yesterday and found this little number under some bikes in the corner. I picked it up for $2.50. I also got a set of z-mags for $5. If anyone can tell me more about it the help would be appreciated thank you.
