I got a Huffy Nel Lusso (Walmart) frame from a friend. It would make a good fitting bike for the wife. Bike riding is not a activity that my wife particularly likes. "Its too hot out, my butt hurts, I don't like to use the gears"...I had my work cut out for me. I got a wheel set ; Shimano 3...

I was in Laguna Beach last weekend and walked past the Hobie Surf Board shop. They had some vintage photos in the windows that were kinda cool to look at. That shop has been there since the 50's. I have been putting some miles on my revamped 70's KTM Eurostar 3 Speed. Only the frame , cranks...

My latest project; an interesting early 70's Japanese built BMX bike with Suntour 3-speed, Arari drum brakes, and rear shocks. I got the brakes to work pretty well. I got it shifting smoothly. I have a seat post adapter coming that will make it accept a taller seat post and smaller seat. The...

I saw this bike on Ebay (and another one on CABE) that looked like it would make an interesting project. I want to make a funky kind of rider out of it. I have the yellow one. The others are just research pics.

Hi all, I sure would like to have a slightly longer seat post for this bike. it is an odd size, 23.8mm (15/16). Is there such a thing out there?

Hi all, I bought this bike on Ebay the other day; shipping from Wichita, Kansas to LA California. I hope it gets here in good shape. Does anyone know about these bikes? KTM has been making beautiful, high quality dirt bikes, and other types of motorcycles for many years. Their bicycles were...

Hi all, Just wanted to post my Marin single speed conversion. I just added a pair of nice Mavic wheels. I love this bike for its simplicity and lightness. This a great bike to hop on when I get home from work and go for a short spin . Very solid and light. I got the bar height right where I...

I always wanted a Troll but settled for and Ogre instead. Still want a Troll. Anyone interested in trading a medium Troll frame for an Ogre frame; maybe swap whole bikes or a deal of some sort?

Hi all, I have had this vintage Marin Bobcat Trail for a few years. I made it a single speed and use it for a"fitness" bike. I got the itch to put the gears back on but I don't want to use the original twist shiftier though. Is it possible to use the derailleurs and but switch out the twist...

I thought it was kind of interesting the kinds of bicycles that are being marketed in our "department stores" these days. I took this picture in my local Walmart...

Hi all. I picked up a late 50's Monark/Huffy frame on eBay a few months ago. I have an urge to build a nice beach cruiser out of it. The tank will make it interesting. I put it together to see how things fit before prepping and painting the frame. The frame seems to be tweaked in a way that...

Hi all, Newbie here, I just picked up this interesting frame. It reads Monark on the seat tube; looks painted not a decal or sticker. No head badge or holes to mount a plate. S/N 3H146960 on drop out. "Roadster" graphic looks stencil painted. Both upper and lower rear frame rails are separate...
