I just bought this beat up old Fuji: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7142031156&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 I'm not 100% sure how...

I just joined, what a great group! I have been doing custom and authentic restorations for 10 years. I also have many 'projects' that I need to sell...mostly...
I haven't done that many, but, like you I have a need to dispose of the completed projects. I know the guy who started the group, Forbes; he likes to do...
Hi Mark, I'm looking forward to tapping into your expertise. Thanks for the offer! Please post pics and other details if you get the chance. Feel free to...
... Hey now, wait a second! I like to ride them when I'm done! I've got several hundred miles on the Keith Lippy I built up last year. Just ask my wife,...
Take a peek at the folder "Jim's large frames" I also have a link to a website of mine. (excuse the ads) I only use the 52t chainring and have been playing...
Oops! I like to ride em, too, but, one always has a favorite, eigh? Larry has a bike with a brazed-on rack. The rack could hold a piano - too heavy - looks...
I am first a rider, then a restorer. Speaking of packrats, I am the master packrat with an entire garage and storage warehouse full of bikes and bike parts....
I'd sure love to hear the details of some of your projects. I'm going to be posting a list of equipment I have for sale or barter and another list of stuff I...
Sometimes I like the clunky, industrial look, especially on a utilitarian bike set up for basic transport/hauling. I've never been a weight weenie. At 6'6"...
I've enjoyed Mark's autobiographical posts. I encourage other members to let us know a little about yourself and your projects. Here is a bit on me: I got...

Good introductory idea. I started bicycling on July 12, 1957 in Broken Bow, Nebraska. I remember my dad running alongside on my maiden voyage on my new (used)...
Hi, "Bicycling" magazine's manual always used to be pretty good, and they updated it regularly to keep up with changes in the industry. Here is a link to the...
Eugene Sloan's "Complete Book of Bicycling", 1970 is the classic, brought up to date in 1981 with "Eugene Sloan's Bicycle Maintenance Manual," one of the best...
I found an early 60's Raleigh Gran Sport in the trash last year. Almost all the parts were salvagable except the frame and front Racelite hub. If anybody has a...
Hi Michael. It's always good to hear from you. I've got about five years experience working in bike shops. I also briefly repped for Fuji in Northern...
Great advice, Forbes, thanks! I don't have in mind a bike shop as such, just a neighborhood repair facility in my car port. There's plenty of bike shops about...

I am retired. So I need to adjust my thinking regarding what my time is worth. Mostly, I need to pay myself for the joy I get out of restoring a bike, and not ...
Hello, I just signed up for this list. I am looking forward to learning from it. I have done a couple of build ups of used bikes and enjoy finding old ones...
I remember an old freewheel, Shimano I think, that had a freewheel mechanism built in. The thought was that, with a freewheeling crankset and a fixed cogset...
