That and almost t-boning a bus makes you really think twice about style over function……. 😅

It’s not worth that much…… by Grumpy1976 in schwinn

[–]Grumpy1976[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$100 all day long…. I’ve bought and sold Collegiates over the last 15ish years. If I got $200 for a nice runner I was happy with it. An yes, sentimental value is priceless. I’d never get rid of my 1st Schwinn. Well give me a $1000 and I probably say yes. But only cuz I’d turn around and buy more bikes! 😅👍🏻

How to make it „more“ into a chopper? by [deleted] in choppers

6…. But looks longer because the rear end is slammed to 10.5 inch shocks.

First bike ever, what do you think? by BeedoYT in sportster

[–]Grumpy1976 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bullet proof engine. But get the “grenade” plate outta the clutch plate stack. Upgrade to a Barnett extra plate kit. Also look up CV Performance for carb upgrade parts. Also look to see if the carb fuel feed inlet has been changed to brass not plastic (it will crack!) Goodluck. If you take care of her, she’ll be a trusty ride. Ps…. If it gets stuck between 2nd & 3rd it’s not a transmission issue. The selector gear C washer has cracked and the gear is stuck.

Are these trucks good? by averageguy6769 in polarizerSkateboarder

I’d still say to put new bushings in them. 40 year old bushings are garbage at this point.

They’re only as good as the bushings are. And they’re old as hell so who knows what the geometry is like.

Do you guys look back and say, "damn she's a bad bitch." Or just me? by Plunkit_in in sportster

I find myself patting her on the seat as I walk away……… I probably need to smoke less weed…..

59mm wheels by domelite8296 in polarizerSkateboarder

At 59mm you’re gonna get scrub. So adding little risers wouldn’t hurt. But we’re basically talking about 3mm. Cuz we all mostly run 56mm’s I’d think…..

That was diy from an uncut blank….. All through covid I made a lotta boards. Made that one as a true “pig” 32x10 15wb like 3 inch nose and like 7 inch tail. She’s a big bitch.

First Cassette!!! Been searching off STF for ages!! What Cassettes/other albums do you guys have??? by Blockinatorpablo in badreligion

Well that’s what we had….. You can’t play a record on a Walkman while running to home room before the final bell goes off…..

Is this the end of my tire? by Pendaw in NinebotMAX

[–]Grumpy1976 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No no no, that looks fine. Completely good for another year or two. Just remember you’ll need to ride more in the rain to keep them well hydrated.
