Got the sucker stripped down today, and started stripping the paint. Had a couple minor hiccups though. Had to drill out the stem bolt, the bolt was really stuck in the wedge nut in the steer tube. And I couldn't get the bolt out of the head set to releive it of the handle bars. That's soaking...

I picked this thing up like 4 years ago. Between losing my job, getting a new one, buying a house, having a kid, and the other bajillion things that have happened since I picked it up, I haven't had time to work on it until now. Welcome to the before pics!!!! I'll put up a few more...

Hello folks of bikedom. I am Shane. I joined this forum 4 years or so ago, posted a bit and basically, I've just lurked around for a looooong time. A few things about who I am; I am a high level powerlifter. And most of all a family man And I FINALLY have some time to get some building...

I drive by Champion Cycles every morning, and I have noticed an abundance of boxes lately. 2 or 3 at a time. I like my bikes too much to ship 'em. :lol:

Yeah, I saw your write up about the build you did. It looked nice. :lol:

http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/bik/2525635706.html I'd like it for my wife. It's been on the list for a week or so. Let me know what you think, buy or don't buy.

Old tires would work as well. And they're freeeeeeee! :lol:

That super sucks! I think more needs to be done about riding bikes on roads. I know we have the bike lane, but here in Jacksonville drivers see the bike lane as extra room to drive on regardless of a rider being in the lane or not. I DO NOT use the bike lanes here for that reason. I use the sidw...

On top of Yooth's 2 x 4 idea, use an old bike rack, and cut it to size. I don't know about you guys, but bike racks are a dime a dozen around here. you could even build one out of wood, or rigid steel plumbing.

Nope... Endor. :) I'm not gonna do a 5 speed, but I was kinda hoping to put a 24x3 on the back and a 26x2.125 on the front and go from there. Unfortunately, while I was disassembling it today, I messed up the cap on the stem. I think It'll end up with a BMX one. Any suggestions?

I found this one on the side of the road about a year ago. I've looked for a while and can't find much on Randor bikes, other than they made batman bikes in the 60's. Im guessing that its a mid to late 80's model bike. Anyone got any other info on the company, or bike I have??? This is my...

I'd throw a bid in, if I weren.t broke.... It looks cool as heck!

I have the same issue. I finally decided to rid the bike of the old fenders, and find a suitable baloon fender replacement for it and ride 26 x 2.125. I was kinda bummed when I came to the realization that I would have to get rid of the original fenders, but its extra parts in the parts box now.

I like the vid. I needs me a muscle bike! I think its awesome to see someone else into slot cars. It's been a few years, but My dad and I used to be sponsored by Wizzard running the FLHORA series here in The FLA. Mad props on the T-jets.

I know some of you guys look for these things. Just caught this on the list. I'd get it, but I have no $. http://daytona.craigslist.org/bik/2182841546.html

This is how I've always done on cars... http://www.ehow.com/how_2210588_spray-metal-flake-paint-car.html

The Roth boys ( Ed Roth's kids) reccomend a 2 part urethane spray by a company called Spray Max. It's an areosol can, but it's kinda pricy. As far as I've reat, it's auto grade type stuff. I would imagine that a couple of good coats would make it pretty difficult to chip any paint job.

No pics of you rollin' down the street on that thing rockin' apes, and a lay back? :wink:

Boardtrack tandem anyone???

To me it kinda looks like a Columbia. I'm no expert in tandems, however. Neat bike none the less.
