I Love Acid!

feeds@yuku.com (RailRider) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:28:01 PST

I have went through two $20 plastic containers now and both busted and leaked my Oxilic Acid so I broke down and spent $60 on this tank at Rural Kind Farm Store. I can dip a whole bike in this tank with room to spare. It also wont freeze and bust or break down over time. I filled it with water and a full container of Wood Bleach(Oxilic Acid.) It has cleaned a lot of parts already and man it this easier than steel whool! lol

Just got a 28mm ziess lens for my camera and wanted to do something with it, the video has not been color adjusted or anything fancy but its was just fun to put together. The black bike with the saddle bag is mine, and the other one belongs to my friend who's in the video.

John Deere 20" Girls Bike- Should I grab it?

feeds@yuku.com (johnrtse) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:49:25 PST

I was at the local antique store today (The same one that I got my two yellow 24" Sears Spyders at) and they had this 20" John Deere 20" girls bike. In very good condition and complete, plus includes a front NOS basket. They are asking $130 for it. Is this a good price for this bike? Pics below- Your advice and information are very welcome!

Another Stingray

feeds@yuku.com (Green Dragon) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:48:04 PST

PIcked this one up Saturday - was quite the adventure, missed the house, wound up at the worng place about 5 miles past... then my van died, turns out dead alternator, so the guy at the wrong house gratiously put his fast charger on the battery, to get me back to the right place, got the bike, then just got to a freidns house, where we charged it enough to limp it home. 1 hour trip turned out to take 4 hours+ .

This is what I got for my trouble:

It's a 77 5 speed, thumb shift... looks all original except the horrid mountain bike spinning hubcap rims. even has the Q bolts still, which is the only incorrect parts on my survivor 69 I had posted.

Someone has spray bombed everything, ...

Chrome Top Fueler Rail 24 x 20

feeds@yuku.com (Jaxon) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:02:03 PST

Here is a project I have been thinking of for awhile now. It is a 26 inch Huffy Silver Jet Chrome frame. I put the top fueler forks on it for a full chrome look. I am going to use the spaceliner chainguard because it looks like a flaming stack a little bit. The brake lever is hiting the frame. I just need put a washer behind the frame to bring it out. Here are a few pics of the start.

Top Fueler Fork Project

feeds@yuku.com (Jaxon) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:09:51 PST

I got 2 set of top fueler forks welded up today. They came out pretty good. Just a few minor tweeks needed. I was worried the welding blue would not come off but it polished right off with compound and a sisal wheel. The top plates were cut wrong but more are on the way. Here are a few pics of them.

My new Top Fuel Rail!

feeds@yuku.com (RailRider) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:01:40 PST

I have been trying to decide what to do with this bike. I came up with this original paint green frame, but after assembly did not like it solid Nile green so decided to spray a blue fade onto it. I have blue grips, and seats so thought I would try it. Its a little bit of a shocker but what do you guys think?

Picked up some bike projects & parts!

Chopper anyone?

feeds@yuku.com (musclebikemac) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:12:11 PST

Think this turned out as a cool little ride. Has a nice early 70s Kawasaki bike motor cycle fork on it, a stack guard a rear goodyear red line slik , rainbow persons seat and a ray cooper sissy bar, and a set of NOS super wide 63-64 stingray bars. I need a 26" kick stand to keep it up, but its a beauty.

Schwinn Panther fresh find ! & a Corvette Im selling..

feeds@yuku.com (ILIKEBIKES) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 12:53:52 PST

I Found a My second Schwinn Panther middleweight this year .. I just finished parting out the first one I found & this shows up fresh out of a long storage..
I haven't cleaned the bike yet I did dust off the top tube & half of the front fender just to see how it will look.
I think the Panther is a Keeper I bet it will look almost NOS When its dusted off.. So Im likely going to sell off the Corvette bike.
The corvette is awesome but I cant see keeping more than one middle weight ...

feeds@yuku.com (mmcdaniel69) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:55:27 PST

After more than two years of searching I finally found one! It's exactly like the one my parents paid $80 for in 1980, when I was eleven years old. It took them 8weeks to pay it off!
I'm posting pics so some of the experts here can help determine how original it is. I don't think the cranks or pedals are. The wheels are rough, but luckily I have a nice set on the Fire Cat I bought from Jaxon. I also have NOS grips and some repop reflector brackets I got from oneadamtwelve. Thanks guys!
I need to give it a good cleaning, any advise on how to clean the paint and remove the light rust from the front end without damaging it would be greatly appreciated.

My Mag Wheel project...

feeds@yuku.com (RailRider) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 02:14:14 PST

I took a little time tonight to get this mag wheel working. Planning to use it on my future Top Fuel Rail build. Still kicking around color ideas. I do have this nice original paint green frame shown. Who knows.......

1951 Black Phantom I picked up today

feeds@yuku.com (RareBMX) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:13:26 PST

Well I stumbled on to this bike last week. I was not able to see it until today and we came up with a deal. It does still retain the original locking fork with key, optional fornt brake and rear tail light with good lens. Yes it is rough but it has not one reproduction part on it!
For the money I also got a 1972 Schwinn Fair Lady in Opaque Blue with flowered seat and a basket.
Not many of these barn finds around anymore for these Phantoms.... I am already working on a trade for a blue Wheelie bike possibly.
