Good! Then I get to blame you for not forseeing that schwinn diamond edge cranks wont clear the chainguard.Now Im in the middle of a crank swap!! Glad I caught your mistake before it scratched the guard.

LOL

Once again--ALL KINGFISH'S FAULT!!!hehe

Here are the cranks I found to replace the others.Must be off a pre/postwar columbia or monark as they were in a box of parts I got with those brand of frames.Cool fancy bearing assembly on them.Cleaned them up and shot them silver with clearcoat.
I got the chainguard later in the build so unfortunately I wasnt prepared for my cranks not to work lol.

Hey! Fine by me - I love dogleg cranks. Don't know what it is exactly - maybe it's that they not only look cool with the offset but every tiny bit of the exposed surface is finished. Takes me back to the days of inexpensive labor and total pride in workmanship. I guess I just figured out why I like them so much - Good Choice! Robert

Sorry, I will gladly take all of the good credit, but I can't take the bad rap for this one. I actually had posted earlier on the BO7 Discussion board how I do all of my fitting and fab work before I do any paint. Ah, maybe you read that and it helped prevent you from turning the crank and messing up your guard paint job. So, maybe I do get credit for helping you discover a small design choice issue before it caused any major damage and headaches. So yes, it is my fault that you ended up with a better design.

Man, I am good!!! You can thank me with a vote later.

Yes I saw what you wrote,but in my defense I got the guard later as stated above and did not hit the guard luckily,wew LOL.
I shoulda known this guard would stick out much farther than the cheapo I was going to use.

Anyhoo--as long as I have you to blame its all good!! haha

Even though the chrome was long gone and I had to paint/clear them, I like the doglegs better myself also.

Beautiful bike.

How do you feel about bare metal? Instead of painting my "chrome loss" parts I soak them in white vinegar to eat off any rust, dry them immediately w/ compressed air and then actually buff the bare metal w/ a dremel tool and wire brush attachment. It shines the bare metal right up and then immediately clear coat the parts to keep them that way and prevent rusting. I love the look of clean bare metal - that's what I will be doing with my rusty dogleg and sprocket in this buildoff. I did the same thing with a LOT of my bare metal parts on my RRBBO5 build. Just another option. Robert
