What bike did you work on today?

Wow!! Did you paint that on the tank or was it there?? That is the coolest tank artwork ive seen in a while!

That was done by a local artist and pinstriper, he does excellent work!!

Here it is together. The owner of this bike is adding grips and a few other small changes.

I did some tire inflation and adjustments on almost all my bikes overnight.

I picked this bike up at MLC and tried to ride it but the spokes were so loose it swayed under me! Previous owner had laced three across and ground the spoke ends off. I re-spoked/trued both wheels and it rides like butter. V/r Shawn

Don't you have a bench to true your wheels on? Doing it on the concrete is a back acher.

I love your setup here! Where did you get those hanger stands?

These are available on Amazon. Search Racor Bike Stand. I found all mine on Craigslist and offerup.

Working on this Schwinn King Sting. Repainted in Schwinn candy blue. Only had the frame on this one. Piecing it together as a resto mod.

Traded for this one today, started in that state...
Tires aired right up. Had to remove the chainguard since it was loose, rattling and just not right. Replaced the pedal blocks with something Patina Apropriate, but something I wasn't going to have to worry about crumbling beneath me.

Hub date makes it a 3rd quarter of 40.
Love to find these Store Decals still intact! Already have a Ludwig badge in the mail.

Put a more patina apropriate stem on it, took off what I'm guessing was a Colson. Front fender resecured, and she rides again! Got her out to grab some lunch.

Edited to add a few details....I've not seen oversized tubing on a girl's bike before...

Started the cleaning and relacing process on the '47 Shelby. She'll have new spokes, tires, tubes, and a Redband kickback hub for the hilly roads here. I have some work ahead of me.
