Next up is my Staats frame.  Still working on slowly stripping it down, got a color and a rather extensive parts list already in mind.

I have no old school projects (yet), so I'm working on this '97 Schwinn HydraGlide (already had an oxy/acid bath):






   Still need XS Pro pedals, era-correct Schwinn seat, 3/8" - 48h front wheel with silver hub (preferrably Schwinn), gold or chrome chain, DiaComp 990 U-brakes, DiaComp Tech 77 levers, some Schwinn grips, Gyro cables, and tires & tubes. Anyone know what sort of tires would've come on this bike?

   With my [very meager] budget, it'll likely be a while before it's completely restored.

   In the meantime, I'm also working on a Haro TR2.2... frame is stripped and almost ready for primer. I think it'll be "Lime Ice" lacquer with wet-sanded clear coat. Then probably black and chrome/polished parts. I'll post pics as this one progresses.

   Nothing much, but I'm having fun anyway

I purchased a red '97 HydraGlide back in the day...still looking for one to rebuild. The stock tire was an all black "Hucker". Search for "XS Hucker" right now on eBay and you can easily pick up a pair. If you hurry there is a brand new set of XS silver 1/2" pro pedals for sale right now on eBay! Better than the stock pedals the "Glide" came with.

The stock seat actually wasn't labeled Schwinn or XS. It was a generic, black, thinly padded seat. I could probably look through some of my old pictures or at least sketch it from memory. And you probably know but just in case these bikes came with SST Oryg detanglers.

Cool bike, keep posting the updates, lemme know if you wanna sell or trade it.

I'm just starting a mid-school bike for flatland (Hoffman Sugarbaby/Big Daddy).  Fun stuff.

Hoo-rah! for the mid-school!

Well I last posted less than  two weeks ago, but it's funny how a few successful ebay auctions will change your plans.
I finally scored a pair of chrome kneesaver 2k handle bars. I love those bars and decided to take the Mirra Pro Kneesavers off of my 04 Mirra pro . The 2k's are so light and have a great bend. They are now on my ramp bikes (My Haro o4 mirra and the hoffman condor.)

Put the Fly Pantera bars on my Forum. Then scored a premium lite front wheel. I'm going to take the rhino light 36 off of my Forum and put it on my 04 Mirra. I like the 36-48 combo for ramps. I then scored a premium pivoytal seat and seat post for the 04 Mirra. It is now around 27 pounds. It was always a great  bike; a revision of my favorite bike of all time the Blammo.but now its feather weight and superstrength are great.
Meanwhile the Forum is down under 25 lbs. weighing in at an unebelievable (TO ME) 24lbs. 11oz.

I did score a Haro Lite 1 1/8 threadless fork for my aforementioned bashguard sport. 3 piece cranks and some GT DX pedals will be the next thing For the Sport.
I also have to finish the o1 Mirra I plan to "give" to my brother. 3 piece cranks, pedals, seat.

It never ends. I have  ahuge pile of parts from the stock completes I have bought over the years. i could probabaly construct another 3 complete bikes from cast off parts. Ugh!

EDIT: I almost forgot my experiments with eastern plastic pedals. I drilled holes in them and used Quik steel to set metal traction pins in the pedals. At 7 oz.s  They will lower the weight some more of one of my babies.
