joined in 2006 and life got busy... just picked up three bikes this morning. 61 columbia fire arrow, 65 schwinn Jag, and a 60 schwinn-not sure the model. I'll try to get pics on in a few.

O.K. so I'm bored and in a contemplative mood. So here's a question...see if I get a bite. pre-question: I totally dig the retro scene, rat rod cars, old furniture, pork pie hats, cool tats..pin up art etc. When I elude to that, my family rolls their eyes and say I'm a freak. I'm a school...

What is the best movies that have bikes as a major part of the movie? Off the top of my head I can think of Breaking away and that one movie where Kevin Bacon is a delivery dude on a bike (help me out here). I hate to mention American Flyers cause Costner killed the character but there you go...

I remember when we were all amazed at reaching the 500 memeber mark. Wow 5k plus. Amazing. What's more amazing is how positive and encouraging this site is compared to others. It really feels like a community instead of a place for people to sound off in idiotic fashion. God bless Steve and...

I bought western auto bike the other day. It has the tail light on the rack "flight deck" and the two light tank. the frame is chromed and there is a funky hubcapped looking thing on the front chain ring. Is that the Cosmic flyer or the sonic flyer?

I'm going to sell this baby on ebay with a reserve price unless I can unload it here. It has a nexus 7 speed hub and is in great shape. The light and the bike rack didn't come with it.

I know we are all about old school here but I have to say I'm kinda sweet on a new bike. the Trek soho s is a single speed commuter bike that you can flip the back wheel from a freewheel to a fixie. I love the looks of it (matte black finish) and I would kind of like a bike that I didn't have...

So the tour of Missouri (professional road racers...ala lance Armstrong) is coming through our fair city. The town has been developing some new bike paths in the past few years to allow for community fitness, togetherness, yada yada. The lbs called me up and asked to have a family ride with a...

here is a preliminary pic of the jc that some kids at school are helping me with. I took the forks off a monarch.

Sorry I've been off for a while. Sweet new layout. I'm knee deep in wrestling season but just received my new kenda 24 x 3 tires for my 1950's J.C. Higgings. They're tough looking. very sharp edge on the profile. It will make for an interesting ride. I also scammed a cool bike with a neat...

so I have started to strip down the 50's jc higgins. I love the beehive springer. I'm going to put on 3 x 24's with black rims and spokes. I teach at a middle school and I've got some boys working on getting the frame sanded in shop class. (don't tell my principal) I'm kind of up in the air...

I'm picking this up next Sunday.

got it at an antique store. not a bad deal.

We had our first cruiser ride in Rolla Mo. Had about 22 people show up. We rode through the campus of the local colledge, a few neighborhoods and ended up at a grand opening of a hotdog stand in town.

I'm going to try some choppin an welding. My first time soing so. I have a secret key to the shop class as school (sweeeeet). could anybody give me some ideas on where to chop to make a stretch job for 24 in wheels.

I just got back from an eight day stay in the country of Haiti. We were in Cap Haitian which looks alot like an enormous refugee camp in the middle of a beautiful island. The bikes...blew me away, they have the most beat up chopped up jerry rigged bikes I have ever seen. I think that when the...
