    Well, it's kind of an old mminibike...

    Twenty bucks, I couldn't say no. There's a plate between the handle bars that was sprayed over with green paint, and then some kind of mounting plate (headlight, perhaps?) was screwed over it. Across the bottom, I can clearly warns you about 'off-highway use only', that sort of thing. Across the...

    At what point is the tank just done?

    This is the inside of an old tank the day I opened it. It's almost mesmerizing in its digusting, dried vomit-like crud. So I did the ol' shake with bolts and gas a few times and it looks like this now. Whats left looks kinda deep no? I'm sure the rust will come out if I keep...

    Bought this off of the original owner. He said it ran until the spring broke in the recoil, and it's been parked since. Luckily he never took it off (and lost it like most of them). Frame and forks are nice and straight, there had been a foot lever added for the rear brake (works well, I may...

    Sears Tarantula

    Great bike! Trying to figure out how to get the rust off the seat rivets. The seat is in amazing condition other than the rust. I believe it is a Sears tarantula. These were made by bird also. From what I've read the black-and-white seat makes it a Sears bike. I don't think it's original paint...

    Help...Tumbling Bolts-Nuts

    I recently purchased a rotary tumbler from HF to do "renew" some old school nuts and bolts. I heard the rotary tumblers are typically "wet" tumblers...so I used about 1lb of glass bead (because I had some extra laying around, it's a 3lb tumbler) with a touch of dawn soap, a touch of lemi-shine...
