I have a skiptooth cog on a New Departure coaster brake from a late 40's Schwinn DX that I am looking at fitting onto a newer coaster brake style wheelset. The cog is attached (assuming threaded on) to the drive screw and held on by a threaded lockring. My question is: Is the internal...

Anyone here play the game on grass and/or hardcourt? I am currently playing both out in Boulder, and am thinking about swapping out some parts on my 79 Schwinn, throwing some 48 hole Chukkar wheels on it and making it my new hardcourt beastie. Thought it would be fun to have a classic out on...

Kid sister is heading off to college this summer. My parents are sending her without a car, so I decided to build her a campus cruiser. Hunted this beast down on CL. Best I can make out, it's a pre-48 (ish) DX. Tore it apart 2 nights ago...everything came apart nicely, and the frame is...

I inherited (rescued from the bed of my dads dump bound truck) my moms old Centurion Lemans Elite. A picture of what the bike looked like new (not mine, but exact same color scheme) The original plan was to build up a track racer to run at the velodrome here in boulder but looking a the...

Newest addition to the stable...guessing by the serial, it's pre-'48'. Sweetheart skiptooth, new departure coaster hub. Will make for a fun project for a graduation gift for my kid sis this summer. And one of "next to newest"...my Mom's old Centurion Lemans, converted to flip-flop single...

I am going to look at a 56(?) DX this afternoon, and was wondering if price is ok??? Guy wants $150.00 for it...He guessed at the age...I will be able to get a serial number when I see it in person. It's in rideable condition, complete with fenders, chain guard, and basket on front, but looks...

I bought this frame with the intentions of chopping it into part of my "Burrito Con Cebollas", however when I got it up on my work table for disassembly, I noticed a cool bit of geometry that I have not seen before, so it became a project in itself. I am planning on stripping, flipping, and...

Started as a 63 Schwinn ladies frame and a 70's-80's (?) Iverson ladies Grand Touring... Cut the Iverson apart and have a rough layout on the floor... The sketch of what I am hoping it will resemble once I am finshed :mrgreen: Will have a 3-speed rear with a "shoulder breaker"...

New project I'm undertaking... Square tube indexed to 45 deg. for blade-ish look, aprox. 60" wheelbase, three speed rear with Rat Fink style shifter, possibly a curved springer with heavier spring to account for angle. Thinking about discs, but will likely build with coaster to start. Here is...

I am looking at building a stretched out lowrider style chopper. My question is regarding wall thickness and hardness of tubing. I am thinking something in the .035-.060 thickness range(?) and overall size of 2" square tubing. My wheelbase is in the 60" range, with a cantilever style design...

Name is Sam, and I live in the Boulder, CO area, though I grew up in the Lake Tahoe, NV area. Long standing nickname is Margrette (after the annoying redheaded girl who chases Dennis the Menace around :mrgreen: ) Just recently took interest in vintage cruising. My first project is what I...
