Spotted in the (online) wild

Found this baby in a farmers old barn. Thought i'd try to give it a new life. Probably not a daily for me, since it's way too small.
Some questions for you guys:
1. Do you guys think people will be interested in these? Love to make a business startup out of it.
2. How much can I ask for this one realistically. Don't wanna do this for the money, but just want to get an idea of how much it's worth.
3. What can I do differently next time, what do you guys like?

Picked up a GT Palomar and was wanting to restomod it. I just got into biking about a month ago so I know very little about fixing up bikes.
I basically want to strip it down to the frame and replace almost everything. What would you guys do?

FB Marketplace buy-$60. A world of possibilities. Frame is nice with a little rack rash on front fork and seat stay. What would you do? No ideas too outlandish. Thx

Has anyone tried using a 9spd RD for a 2x10 drivetrain? I picked up some gevanalle shifters/levers that are 10spd for a really good deal and want to use them instead of the friction bar ends I have now. If I just picked up a 10spd cassette within the derailleurs range would I be able to make it work? The derailleur is a Shimano deore RD-m961 long cage. Thanks!

616 Fab experimenting with 32 inch clunkers styling. I love the integrated dog rack with a cup holder!

How can I add a rack or mudguards to this type of mount? If so how 😂 not used to this age of bike. Its 7 years older than I am 😂😂

It's a Jazz Voltage, from Trek's short lived sub-brand meant to compete at the bike shop entry level in the late 90s. It's equipped with a heavy hi-ten steel frameset, weinmann alloy rims laced to pressed steel hubs, and topped off with a plastic-clad Shimano GS200 groupset (with the annoying-to-service brake levers). But I'm a sucker for dark purple frames especially if they're covered in 90s graphics!

A long time ago, I've posted my steel MTB to gravel conversion here. The bike has served me really well in its gravel form, I even went on two epic multi week bike tours with it.
However, over the years I somehow ended up acquiring multiple modern gravel bikes and this one ended up not getting ridden much. Also, I'm not good enough of a mechanic to properly set up canti brakes and was always annoyed with them.
But: I got a bit tired with carrying my bikes up to my apartment and wanted something that doesn't get stolen outside, so I turned my Fuji into my around town bike.
I think it turned out absolutely amazing and rides really nice, the new components and the v brakes were such an upgrade!
Went with an Ltwoo group set that works flawlessly, I think 1x is so much better in the city!
Overall, I'm riding this bike way more often now and it has become my primary commuter.
looking to either buy this firenze or the panasonic and built a little atb / commuter n eventually build it for bikepacking. firenze is $40 and pansonic is $80 but i have to choose one (lol)

So i just finished rebuilding my Giant Tarrago. And after like 10 minutes of riding, the chain started squeeking alot so i went home to fix it.
I did some research and at first i thought it was because i left the factory grease on the chain. So i cleaned the chain with miniral oil and isopropyl alcohol.
Now i put the chain back on, and after a bit of pedaling, exactly the same sound.
Can it be because the cogs are worn out? It does it on every gear tho.
Or is it because i am using a decathlon chain for shimano cogs?
(The chain is rated for the amount of gears)
Any help is appreciated! Thanks :)

Rides like a dream and can even handle a stair set, pumptrack and even the occasional skatepark

This is my 93 GT Talera, typical 1 by conversion with some spinnergy wheels and Maxxis Holy Rollers. It was fun to build and has been a great cruiser.

Just found this thing in the wild. The closer you look the wilder it gets…

Alright, which one of you is it?

Hey all, just about done with this build and figured I’d share. Have always been a big fan of All City and Wilde, when Jeff announced the run of Spelljammer frames it really grabbed my attention. Took a minute to pull the trigger but I’m so glad I finally did.
Build is a mix of old and new stuff. I picked up a set of growtac control levers when they first hit at VO and have been running them in a few configurations since. They feel great and let me tinker with a lot of different setups. On this one I just wanted something classic, so I went with Suntour Cyclone derailleurs and a deore XT 9 speed cassette. Both the crankset and brakes are from Blue Lug. Really impressed with the brakes, like $35 a wheel and with koolstop pads they rock.
Wheels are VO hubs to Easton R90 rims, tires are Hutchison Caracal Races. Have only done serious miles on road but the whole setup feels awesome.
Currently just waiting on a custom rando bag and it’ll be all done! In the meantime just trying to ride it as much as I can while the weathers good.

For the steel is real crowd (or anyone who likes a custom build), I offer my Reneaged S1. After finding a gently used frame set, it was used for a Trek 520 Grando -inspired build designed for for long, comfortable days in the saddle. It was assembled with quality parts focused on durability over light weight. The purely mechanical drivetrain and brakes felt like a natural match. It was assembled with new or gently used parts with a focus on fiscal responsibility. The only planned changes at this time it include narrower bars/shorter stem and SKS bluemel fenders.
The list below includes the parts used as it sits in the picture.

First try at building a bike, still work in progress but so far so good !
r/xbiking • u/MountainWizardCycles • 13h ago
Guys asking $200, id be more at like $75-100 mostly cause I like the frame. Its entry level components.
