Where can I find out about Thunderjet brand bicycles?  They were popular in the 1950's. It was my 1st bike.

I know they had some flying toys as kids - i.e. rubber band helicopter sort of things. Also it was sort of a craze at the time, google early aviation history or equivilent and you should be able to find some videos and other info.

They dont sell to many complete race bikes on there but I suggest building yourself up a Saats or Standard frame.  I am actually riding a Standard right now but am going to go with an aluminum staats for this racing season.  If you really want a complete the only race bike they sell is a MCS.

this is definetely a great site and the x-18 is the BEST pocket bike there is because it offers a honda based 4 stroke upgradeable engine...yes, there is a whole world of aftermarket upgrades for this bike and any other..i wouldntget the interceptor....sadly, all those fun looking little japanese and chinese made pocket bikes arent good at all....no one realy services them and they break frequently...go-carts are a better investment

all depends on what you wish to do with it.\nAbout 20 years ago when i was into BMX racing , my choice of bike was the light weight "redline"

Daniel H has set out the case brilliantly for the true revival in bikes for people (instead of the recent trend in making us humans conform to the high techery in the bikes).\n\nBut bikes are back because of the rising oil prices, combined at last, with the realisation that we can't keep putting all that carbon monoxide into the air just to go to the paper shop. \n\nBikes are back because people are learning they offer the all-round best exercise workout, they're fun, they're companionable and they let you see bits of the World you miss by car (and even on foot).\n\nBikes are back because the quality and sheer variety of modern bikes is extraordinary. They need hardly any maintenance, they don't rust anymore, they're not messy and they're easy to live with.\n\nLike Daniel I am really pleased to see the re-emergence of gear hubs - the new geration models are fantastic (my wife has a city bike fitted with a Shimano Nexus - its excellent).\n\nBUT - you asked is the sport of cycling dying. In short No. Sadly though, the old days of club racing seem to be over at the Sunday amateur level. Its all about big events and corporate sponsorship. Nevertheless, we're seeing new velodromes being built (that means big investment) and massive sponsorship in the big road racing teams. In Europe cycling is a passion second only to football (quite right too, I may be cycling mad, but football is close to God). \n\nCycle sport is not dying ... its changing.

You can use these to find the year the bike was produced. Use a search engine to find a Schwinn site that deals with the "vin code" on your bike. if you already know the model bike it is, look under that series then they will typically have the years and the serial numbers that were put on bikes made in those years. good luck, you might find out your bike is worth more than you thought... i made $100 off of one i found in the trash down the street once on ebay lol.

try the new kawasaki 5 speed. lots of gears, great bike, made in four stroke, green, looks like a perfect match, (try fmf pipes i have heard alot about those) if you can ride it year round try a ktm they are really reliable, they won the ERZBERG RODEO google it if you don't know what it is. they can stand alot of abuse

If you want to build it up original, check out http://www.vintagebmx.com\n\nMany people on that board swap and rebuild BMX bikes.

If it is more than 100 (1845-1871) years old it was built in Boston, Mass.  Otherwise ( and more likely ) It was a Chicago based company made by Straube, at Hammond, Ind.  (1895-1949) Do you have a serial # or any other info?  And I wouldn't consider it rare besides the fact that many of them have since been destroyed probably.

Im an Army guy but love old airplanes!! The B-58 Hustler, a supersonic delta wing airplane. It had this cool centerline fueltank/atomic bomb combination. Lots of pages about it....just google Last time I saw one was at Chanute AFB when I was a CAP cadet in 80's   ....Why would a nice lady like you want to know about an old airplane for?? I would talk to the people in the sight i showed you about the patch...look for other sights by typing B-58 in google..lots of sights with people who flew, sombody would know him .

You can get alot of decent bikes for under $350. Bikes such as the DK Cleveland (329.99) which features a 3pc. cranks with a spanish bottom bracket, DK Sealed Flip Flop 14mm wheels, Wellgo Platform Pedals and basically every other quality part you could need affordably. This bike is a basically designed for street, trails and skatepark use. The Eastern Battery is only (259.99) and features 3pc. Spanish Cranks, an internal headset, 25/9 gearing with 14mm sealed cassette wheels and a set of pegs. This bike would be made for similar use. If your looking for a lighter more race style bike. The DK Fury is a 240.00 bike with an Aluminum frame, 3pc. cranks and a DK race parts package. That bike would be suitable for race and light trails. Other brands you could consider would be Integral, Hoffman, We The People, MCS, Free Agent, Fit or Stolen. Check my website www.acebmx.com we could help hook you up.
