Project: Schwinn Le Tour 3

This is by far the fastest build I have ever done. I bought this bike in a yard sale this morning for $30.00. By 3pm, the bike is almost done as you can see in the pictures. I still need to do some final touches like the pedals, and a good cleaning.

So here are some pics from the build, hope you like it!

New and Old Projects

So I know I havent posted in some time. But I have been so busy with things that believe it or not, the internet has been something that I simply didnt have time for......arg. But, I would like to give some news when it comes to the bikes I have been working on.

Currently, I handed away the Chubei to a nice girl that wanted a project to work on. The bike was sized to fit her perfectly, and she was very happy with it. I wish her the best of luck on her new project.

I did in the other hand, come across a lucky find. Now, If you read this blog, you will know that Hybrid bikes are one of the types I like to work with simply because for me, the ride is much better. So while out and about, I came across a Peugeot US Express hybrid frame in a dumpster new where I hang out for java. I quickly pulled the frame out, and ran home with my coffee buzz and started to strip it. Its not in bad shape, and it will be a fun project to work on. For some reason, I really enjoy building up Hybrid2FIX.

Project consideration: Chubei

A friend of mine gave me this bike, because he was too swamped with projects as well. So not sure if I should work on it right away, or just put it on the side for later on. The bike is about a 56cm, so it is too bike for me to ride. So gonna have to think about it, or find a but that would like it as a finished project.

New Project Vista Carrera 7!

Funny, the same day I finished the Schwinn Mesa Runner, I went out to find a couple of things at the local Flea Market. I came across this Vista Carrera 7 for sale ( what is it with me a red bikes? ). I was able get this bike for a simple $20.00. So keep in touch for more details!
