No I dont have lockwashers installed, ive never really built bicycles before this one so I'm not really sure what the order or function of all the washers in...
I put fat franks on my old JCH cruiser.
A lot of time I cant ride out about 20 mins then after hitting a couple bumps the front tire scoots back up into the the forks and starts to rub just enough on the top to be problem.
I was thinking maybe griding down a little bit of the extra tube that...
Thanks bro.
It is getting painted with a shark face theme from the old WW2 bombers, with the same cream color background as the rest of the bike, just working on some custom LED's for the lights, original look, modern tech
Thanks for the compliments guys. That track chain is sick. Im gonna look into it
I think the gooseneck I have on there right now is gonna look to high for the sleek look im going for even with the upside down bars. I might try to bend it down or something, and im working on making the sit back...
Well its been forever since I updated this but the bike is very close to being done, especially now that I got the Fat Franks for it which look perfect with the frame.
Hey guys, doing a boardtrack bike and would like to put a fat headlight on the front?
What do most use? Motorcycle lights etc.? And how are they powered? The less wires the better I think.
Just picked up a male 26' Schwinn 1952 straightbar frame, just needs to be blasted and repainted, probably gonna make a custom tank and build a board track.
Any idea what theyre usually worth?
So this wasnt really much of a build so far, basically just left the bike all rusty and threw a couple things on it. Eventually ill be making it into a boardtrack/cafe style bike possibly motorized, but for now while I finish C.R.E.A.M. this will be how what i'm rolling around on.
How I got it...
So my first bike build EVER is done, it was a lot of fun and my girl loves it.
Check it out, she couldnt even wait for the chain guard to be put on before going on a cruise.
Just picked this up, was listed for $100, got it for $50, hope it was a good deal.
head badge says Chicago on it and the serial number is right next to it on the neck, GR520353 and a very small 0761 on the badge itself.
I think im just gonna throw some white walls on it and a call it a day...
Got the crank on today (this was a learning experience, remember this is my first bike haha), tightened up the handlebars and mounted the front fender with new chrome fender mounts also put new all black pedals and bondo-ed the tank. Ready for paint.
Also thought of a cool theme for pattern on...
