    Help with identification

    I purchased this bike from The Cabe forums though I knew the guy from Schwinn forums. He is a great guy to work with and his packing was beyond anything I had seen before. I know for certain the bike is a 1965 by the serial # but I don't know what it is called. I saw a Columbia Thunderbolt ad...

    My First build "Ivy League"

    I have been working on this for a few months...that thing called work kind of gets in the way. All I need to do is change out the tires and I'll be done. I an quite pleased with it, but there are some flaws that I am sure I will improve on with experience. This is how it began, a CL find...

    2 speed kickback question

    I rode a kickback last week and it was surprisingly smooth. I really didn't know what to expect but it was an enjoyable experience. It is kind of odd at first! The bike was this 60s Schwinn Tiger.

    The Barber and His bikes

    My friend recently told me about his barber since childhood. He said I should visit cause the guy has lots of bikes in and around his shop. Today was my second visit, first with my camera. I would estimate he has 50ish in the shop itself, and another 200 in the back in a big shed and around...

    Painting Gun

    Could those of you who use a paint gun to paint the bikes give me some recommendations? I have NO clue what/where to buy. What is a good cost? I have a compressor already. Thanks for the help in advance.
