Buy a storefront for $2000??? Wow.
Wow! Here it costs $2000 just for the fees and paperwork. There are no vacant storefronts to be had. Maybe up in Oakland where they have gang wars…
On Berlin campground I would be all in!A get together? Great idea! My 2 picks would be either the beautiful waters of the Mediterranean Sea. FunkMe could let us stay at their place for a couple of weeks.The other option would be Berlin (can you say campground?). I am already on my way to Harbor Fright to buy colored lites for my bici.
Funny, I literally have an Avalon downstairs. Would have loved to change the handlebars and stem but they are rusted solid due to neglect from the previous owner. Glad I got it for it would have been a complete loss of what is a decent riding bicycle.
I pulled the "drivetrain" from one of them and put it on my 57 Corvette. I am going to put a slightly larger front sprocket on it though. Otherwise I like it.
Man, I’m sure that small crank makes for some serious torque….

Plenty of space, for camping in the yard here. Weather is all over the place, but the Aegean Sea will keep you fresh...
Collecting parts...

So it's been a few years since I have been in a winter build-off.
Mainly due to moving and not being settled.
I have a whole new garage and a bike storage space(still have to set up) parts galore and frames.
My head space is as normal as it's ever going to be.
My passion has turned towards fat and electric bikes, because I'm not getting any younger or thinner.
I have a beautiful rare vintage Automoto, that needs restoring.
That would certainly fit in the skinny department.
It needs a period correct rear wheel. And my time.
And I would like to fix a couple of kids bikes.
1. Being a BMX 20" (frame is like this but chrome and rust)
2. A rare vintage kids racer frame.(unknown)
It would take 20" or 18" wheels
And I also have a girls 20" that needs restoring.
My plans were to fix a couple of kids bikes, so that they can be used in the summer, by the kids of the property owners. Both have 1 boy and 1 girl each. Around the same ages, I think like 12 and 10ish.
I need to get them fixed and used, to get rid of bike parts.

Top ones are early 2000s Honda XR250R bars. Lower are early 2000s Honda CR250 bars.
I like the slingshot stems because the raise the bats just right for my riding style. If I can I like to put them on my off road builds. Thinking of putting one of them on my buildiff bike from last summer as well.

I have a set of bars, that I never used, they are for my 83 XR200R
Turn the bike upside down and spray some penetrating oil down the hole in the bottom of the fork and let it sit for a couple days, try it, if it won't budge let it sit a couple more days. If after all that and still won't budge. Cut the neck and if you need them I'll send you a set of forks off one of mine. You just pay postage.
Those will work. I've used as old as 74 XL 125 bars. The older are bent a little different but look great on bicycles.
Cool! I will try that. I really wanted to slap some apes on it. I added some stuff because I wanted to build a bagger inspired bicycle due to the neat placement of the rear suspension

I’m in for sure. Will likely swap to smooth tires for a summer ride but the klunker style is my favorite aside from banana seats
in with one of these two most likely. My first klunker was a monark. The gambles badged frame I apparently don’t have a seat post in the stash for.
This green sport master someone put cheap mountain bike tires on long ago is a low possibility but I do like the green. In the end I’ll still ride whatever I build more then I ride this
when this does all the off-road stuff much better 
I'm a sucker for a monostay, always loved that look.

That Pantera though...
The Gambles frame is Huffman made. 13/16ths stem maybe.I’m in for sure.
