Schwinn Probe *MOTORIZED* Mountain Bike

well, the Probe wasn't selling no matter how good a bike it was so, in went the 80cc motor kit. it worked well and took less then 2 days or gathering parts as it is the 9th one i have built up.

Schwinn Probe Mountain Bike


This is a Schwinn probe mountain bike. I restored it to its rightful glory as one of the "forever" bikes as i call them.

Forever bike- a bike that will last the rest of your life and most of your kids life to. All then need is general maintenance and care.

Univega 10 speed


This is a 10 speed road/touring bike i got with my commuter road bike. I restored and sold it within 2 weeks, its 55cm and a nice blue color. All it really needed was a tune up, some cleaning, and fresh grip.

Scott Commuter hybrid



This bike was yet an other garage sale find. It was sold to me with MTB tires, messed up grips, and no seat post. I got it nice new hybrid tires, new grips, and i found an old seat post that fit in my shop also i gave it a general tune up. I like this sale because I turned it around within one week and sold it.

Motorized Bikes


It all started summer of junior year in high school, i had just got a job (hell hole... Sears... lasted 5 months) and I was looking for something to wast my new found money on, i saw this kit on the internet for converting a bicycle into an 80cc motorized bike! i got it and found a bike to put it in. the thing was a fucking blast and i road that first one for 9 months before one day i saw an add selling one just like it on craigslist. So, i started selling them. the going rate is around $400 (at least how i do it) and i have made 8 of them so far, this is the most resent one i sold a week ago.

My fixie


This is really the bike that got me started on customization and I love her.. Its a Motobeacane Nomade Frame 58cm (way to big for me), some off brand cranks, Alexrim rear wheel, spinergy front carbon wheel, brooks saddle, sram BMX chain, some GT dirt jump paddles, and shimano nexus duel-pivot long reach front brake (cus this frame is ment to have 27" but its got 700c). most of the parts are from ebay

My commuter


This is one i picked up at a garage sale with another road bike. Its a Motobecane Nomade with some scratched up green paint that i really like the look of. After buying it i restored it 100% with new cables/housing, new tires, trued/re-dished wheels (naval jelly and steel wool)and fresh bar tape.

2011 update- On loan to a friend living in San Francisco, after 6 months there it's still running well, put a new rear brake on to match the front.
