This was left at the dumpster behind my work and my girlfriend has been begging me for a pink bike. 1+1= happy girlfriend. This was also my first wheel lace up project! It had a 3 speed rear hub that was toast and she wanted a coaster brake, so I laced up a coaster hub to a 26x1 3/8 rim that...

I got this frame from Kram and went from there! -The bottom bracket and headset were pieced together from throwaways at my work. Polished them up and looked like new. -Wheels and tires are off of my Typhoon. Tires are 90's era specialized fatboys. -Drive train was pieced together from spare bmx...

Better late than never right? I have no idea what I'm going to do for this build, but hopefully I'll actually finish this one! SO! Here's what I have to start with. Two rear wheels. Do I go with the 24" skip tooth? or the 26" standard... decisions, decisions... Any suggestions?

Got this for FREE on craigslist a couple months ago with a snapped gooseneck and finally decided to do something with it. Replaced the stem and inflated the tires. got a new saddle so my girls butt wouldn't hurt so much and of course she wanted a basket on it.. couple questions though. I read...

Here are a couple of my new toys. The first is a Hawthorne tank bike that I picked up from a friend of a friend for $20. I'd say I made out alright.. Had to replace a couple spokes in the front and gave it a good solid cleansing. It's very very original down to the tires and tubes. Second is a...

Alright I'm in... I'm going to use my 1970 Typhoon and mix in some BMX parts for a street klunker. The only pic I have of it right now is in this group pic. shes the red one, second one in. I'll have more pics of it up tonight. I think I'm gonna keep that springer on... :o

Here's my latest purchase. 2007 specialized Tarmac Comp. Full 105 with ultegra in the rear. shes faaaaast! anyone else into carbon?

Some lady brought this thing into the bike shop i work at looking to get rid of it. Rear hub doesnt engage, but a pretty sweet score in my mind. I got a pretty big eye roll when i brought this one home hahaha!

So this lady came into the bike shop I work at with this monster. She found it in the basement of a house she just moved into and wanted nothing to do with it, so I jumped on it. Here's what I know: -It's a Hawthrone DeLuxe with 28" wheels and tires. -It's been painted that horrid green with...

I just got this skip tooth hawthorne today and I can't decide what to do with it. At first I wanted to under-go an absolute rebuild and repaint and make it perfect, but the more I rode it around, the more I liked it just the way it was (even if it IS missing the other side of the tank...). I'm...

Just got this today! Thank you craigslist! Guy pieced it together. It's actually a solid ride. makes no squeaks or rattles (even though it looks like it would...). the other side of the tank is missing. anyone know the best way to get a match? I would imagine it's just being at the right place...

Excuse the lame title... Wanted to see if you guys thought this was a good deal or not. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/bik/708257068.html I already emailed him to see if i could come take a look at the bike, I just haven't figured out if $150 is better spent on bikes, or my girlfriend... :lol:

I think I'm the only one here that's going to use a girls frame... I've already posted a pic of this in the build section, but I haven't had any motivation to do anything with it. Now I do! Awesome! I'm just thinking a "freshening up" of this one, but we all know how that goes... hehe!

Ok, so I caved in and started another 'Ray. This one is for the girlfriend though. The frame is an old lemon peeler 5 speed that I got in a trade. I blasted it about a year ago and it's been sitting ever since. My girlfriend saw a junker fair lady on craigslist that became the donor bike for...

I picked this bike up about half a year ago, put some newer schwinn fenders on it, and threw it in the back of the garage. Now that I'm clearing stuff out, I'm looking at it more and more often, and I can't decide what to do with it. First of all, I completely forgot that it was a skip tooth...

Hey dudes, My names John and I'm a 20 year old college student. I love everything with two wheels and pedals. I really want to get into making my own frames and such. Here's some pics of my current rides! (not ALL of them of course...) 1969 Schwinn Fastback that I restored. My girlfriend...

I'm not 100% sure that this photo is going to work, but it might if you follow the link. The bike is no where near being done, but I'm having fun in the mock up stages! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=8 ... =500198146
