G'ma moves from Idaho to California, brings bike, sells bike. I don't know why she bought it, it looks like the only time she rode it was testing it at the store. It has no reflectors, they were never installed, the spoke protector is broken and the bike shop kept the parts they took off when it...

I don't remember this stuff being so beautiful.

It's bent. 50 bucks says it was a garage door into the bike on top of the car. My opinion is that it's a donor. Bikes are not worth any freak accident that may or may not take your life.

My park crank extractor was purchased about 1990. It's a ccp1, still going strong after 30+ years

this is all I find. https://monsieurvelo.es/shop-product/parts/transmission/pedals/rare-afa-zefal-lapize-toe-clips/ Can't find years of production

Thank you or this, it reinforces what my dad and machine shop teachers both said. It's the reason why I'm afraid (deathly) of aluminum tank compressors.

Are they old enough to be antique, or are they more of a vintage item? I only found one reference to them, and no one looking for them.

I have good early nineties in chrome, but not mint. should clean up well. if you can't find something else, they're yours for the price of shipping.

Not a great idea. Why? Aluminum that is heat treated is done so at a lower temperature than like steel or a steel alloy would be. From as low as 275 to as high as 450 or so. Depends on the aluminum and the treatment process. Powdercoat cures under heat, 350f to 390 or so. The real killer is...

How small is that pro? 15 or smaller? I might be interested if it's dinky.

Don't change a thing, that is a unique bike.

Yessir, in the process of refurbishing it, but here you go.

Saw a post a bit ago advising to use heavy primer to fill pits in a vintage bicycle part. For a while I helped out a friend with his powder coat business doing prep. Besides learning the wonders of prep-all, I learned about this stuff...

It's a 15" Ultra Munchkin.

Around 51% of my life I've had my 1990 Rockhopper. I also have the 1965 Schwinn my dad used to pedal me around on, and the city license plate. He gave it to me in the 80's. It was around 20 then almost 40 years ago. So it's been mine for about 66% of my life but I've been on it for over 90%.

What particular style lever are you looking for, pic?

He appears to have been inspired by Stroker BMX frames. Love it.

Dan was in marketing. He was in T-shirts, then was hired by Bill Graham (Then BGP after the death of BG) then he moved on to Rita Barela productions. Don't know what you all know about marketing but they are always trying to one up each other in their gifts and swag. Dan was promoting Bianchi...

That's a possibility, perhaps this winters project...

here's one that's so close it's nuts. https://www.ebay.com/itm/233952975644
