MegatherioN Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Nice bikes guys! This is my GT chucker 2.0 And this is my GT pantera. Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Very nice. I'll hafta post some moar oics of a couple old frames I have too when I get a chance. Got an old 60's Huffy and another stingray frame. Quote Link to comment
Str8_69 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I love this thread, there's some really cool bikes in here. So here's mine, 1984 Race Inc (last year made) that a good friend of mine at the time pre-ordered new, frame and fork only, to race in 84, replacing his GT. For some reason he never did, but rode it a bit, then got out of bikes altogether. I traded him my Schmitt Stix Monty Nolder (the ONLY skate I don't still have from kidhood) and 50 bucks for the frame, GT & Race Inc forks, and CW bars, in 1984. Built the rest up myself and rode the crap out of it, half pipes, fly aways, and towards the end some freestyle. I took these pics today.. The bike is still exactly as it was when I stopped riding it regularly in around 88-89, cuz I got into mountain bikes. 1 Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Oics as promised. Here's the old Huffy. My younger brother used to ride this one on 20 inchers instead of the pictured 16's. Just threw em on for fun :D Here's a spare Schwinn frame I found next to an apartment dumpster. Unknown model, maybe a late 60's or 70's stingray? It's a 20". I'll get around to doing something with one of em one day, for meow they're just chillin Quote Link to comment

Working on piecing back together my PK Ripper that I bought new in the early 80s. Wish I had half the parts now that I had back then. Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 PK Rippers were big baller status in the 80's, all the kids wanted one :cool: Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 It's no PK Ripper but my woman just got me a new bike today so we could all go on family bike rides. Was pretty fun actually. I forget how much fun riding a bike can be. Quote Link to comment
reynolds_brad Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 First post and not about my Datsun. Just picked up one the other week and still need to get it up and running still. Ill post about it when there is something worth posting about it. Here is a pic of one of my bikes. Its a 02 Honda APE (Japanese market only).

zenndog Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Dude. I was doing that shit before you were even a twinkle in your daddys eye. My dad kicked my ass when he drained the pool and all my buddies came over and trashed the thing. That was 1974.:eek: We used to go to the top of chantry flats in the foot hills above Monrovia and ride down the street at 25- 40 MPH all the way to Foothill. 8-10 miles. on mountain roads. That was before urethane wheels. :fu: Oh yea no helment, knee pads or gloves. That shit was not even made yet. But you are right I can't do it now. Just to fuckin old.:( Datrod in 1974?

zenndog Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Here is #317 pedal cab Here is a 1946 Compax Paratropper, It is a "folding bike". It comes apart into two pieces I remember this bike being brought over to my house by my grandfather when I was 10 years old. He took it out of his trunk and a big black widow crawled out from under the seat and he pinched it with his fingers and crushed it and just started laughing. I found it in my fathers shop this summer and he said...take it and fix it up. Wish I had taken some before pictures. The frame was bent, I think the bike was run over or had something very heavy set on it, I straightened out the rear of the frame on my workbench with "C" clamps. I have a bike co-op and I picked up some old 1 3/8 steel rims for free and rebuilt the original New Departure hub. I just have to lace up the rear wheel with the original hub. I am trying to find an original chain guard and fenders but have some second options lined up. Trying not to spend any money on it. I have tied up just under $80 bucks on it so far. I bought some blue tires for it. I have a pair of olds grips that match the tires picked out but they want $28. After three years I am almost finished with my divorce and one day when I stop having to pay my lawyer I can finish some of these projects................. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hardwyre Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 After three years I am almost finished with my divorce and one day when I stop having to pay my lawyer I can finish some of these projects Heh. Just tell her "Hey baby, a bullet is WAY cheaper than a divorce and lawyer. How about you take this $1000 and go find yourself a new man? Then we can both go on living and being, you know, alive.

zenndog Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Did I say that in this thread? It is all a blur. I have to take some more pics of the bike, I added a generator light and a rack. Oh and the bullet thing....yeah right. Divorce does suck by the way, but it is over now. Quote Link to comment
