Got this AMF Texas Ranger cruiser, but someone painted over the head badge and can't remove the paint without taking off the badge paint. So, going to try and find a rear fender and chain guard and proper seat and build a custom cruiser.

I picked up this Schwinn Stingray Pea Picker replica for my grandson. This one is one of the first replica Stingrays made in 1998. These were actually sold in Schwinn stores. They are said to be the best quality replicas made.

Anyone else into bicycles around here? Here's my latest build: 2001 LeMond Zurich. I always liked these steel LeMonds so I decided to build one for daily riding.

Rides like a dream and is surprisingly light at just a tick over 17 lbs.

Anyone else?

Okeedokee!

My main ride- '2013 Trek Domane

2015 State Singlespeed a.k.a. "The Pink Punisher" a.k.a. " Pink Lloyd"..

The family hauler--a Cannondale 'Quick' hybrid. Lol nothing quick about it but it hauls the kids trailer bike nicely. My wife's Cannondale on the left.

I also use this one for off-road, wet ugly weather and traveling...my general "beater" bike.

Once a year we do a century (100 mile) ride where they shut down a 10-mile stretch of one side of freeway for about two hours... coming up next month. Only climb about 2000' total, a nice easy ride to kick off the event season.

The great landmark "Buttcrack Rock". LoL.

picked up a 29inch at REI today...bikes comes loaded with a bunch new tech...hydraulic disc brakes, internally routed lines, and no front derailure (i think its less to align).

my last purchase was back in 2002 i think...my GT XCR4000

i really should be finishing up my TKO500 install
