Front wheel might be cool if you had some long triple trees.

Think that’s the first time I’ve seen a fondue pot on here. Some nice finds Matti. Dig the vintage mtb goodies.

One thing that was (still is) a bit of a nail biter was the removal of the cable stops so I could work on removing the finish. Messaged OJ and he was able to talk to one of his buds at the Trek store he worked at and confirmed removing them was a fairly ordinary procedure. Just need to drill...

Really nice looking ride. Interesting proportions. I keep thinking it's a 20 inch bmx bike when I look at it.

OMG 2 days as a page 2 slacker. Let's see some more of that stash. :nerd: Got anything cooking on this? You going to paint it?

Been noticing a few on here that have gotten my attention as possible candidates. Since I'm trying to make it more of a cruiser something comfy might be nice. Option #1 Aged leather might look cool on the rat fiber and the springs would provide a nice comfy ride. This one kind of grabs...

I think if you could swing that arm forward you’d have it in a good spot. On another note. I mentioned the original chain guard but was thinking of a different thread.

Never heard of the Cyclo derailleur before. Pretty cool. Was really scratching my head when I zoomed in on those pics. Does look like they’re meant to be mounted farther forward.

Wow. Just now seeing this. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Wow this is wild. Very cool. Love the details.

Cool. Another trike build. Good to see you in the mix. Just a heads up. Keep the cruiser frame small. Boys frame make a trike a bear to mount/dismount.

Is it the big chain guard? I think you could make a cool chain guard for that out of an old wall hanger guitar or other instrument with a thin wood body. Look forward to the OJ mystery item.

Thanks cap’n. They came off of a 2000/2001 Schwinn Panther. A lightweight (22lb) single speed.

Thank you brother! For casing I have yellow shift and ice gray for the brakes. Didn’t realize the shift housing was Jagwire until now. Bonus. Was a 9 dollar Amazon deal. Didn’t say what brand.

Thank you Pondo. It’s more interesting than I thought it would be. Got it sanded and buffed. Lost 4 of the small stickers on the front but not very noticeable. Tried the bars on to see how they look. Not bad. Shifters are a little bulky. No fountain but I do have this. 😅 Looks...

If you have one of them originals I'd say yay for sure. Looks like you need to let out on you pivot screw on the deraileur. Should be hugging the cog tighter than that. Might need to shorten the chain a smidge too. For single front ring should be enough chain to wrap the largest cog + 2 links...

Radical. 😎

Really got my hopes up when @marshall hudson posted those fender thingies. Could have been a good mystery tracking down the jewels or trying to replicate them. More of a job for Banacek though if you remember that one. Pic of Haus Cartwright on that tiny plastic mini bike is gold. :D

Your friend did a nice job with that bike. He’d fit right in here. Bike is probably quick off the line with those gears. Cranks look really long too.

Will be the original 2x10. Have a set of Microshift Centos flat bar road shifters. Says they have ball bearings in them. 😎
