yeah it's awsome it's a Gritzner bike produced just 20 km's from my home back in the war days.Oh man! I'm diggin the one to the far right with no back wheel. It has the coolest geometry IMO...
DIMMU!
yeah 11 bikes in total, and our property is kinda nice
Now i need to know if you think any of these bb shells would fit with the one-piece crank?
I think you'll need to do some measuring to figure that out. There aren't that many different cup sizes, but the length of the shaft varies. Some shell/shaft combinations just don't work in terms of feeding it through, spacing to center, and threading the inner races.
and here i was, thinking that building a bike wouldn't be that hard, seems like the easiest thing for this project would be to basically chop up a new frame from choppersus.com but what a waste that would be when I got all these donor bikes

I think 20mm axles are usually just on front hubs.

I have seen 14mm singlespeeed disc hubs but I can't remember who manufactures them...I'll have to do some reasearch and get back to you.
DMR makes it... http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/DMR_R ... 360015731/
Quick idea for the middle "transmission" if you will:
You could use an old rear hub with a 5-speed freewheel on it. Put the chain coming from the front on a smaller cog (14t, or 16t) and put the other chain going to the rear wheel on a larger one (25t, etc.) This would not only let you adjust the amount of gear ratio, but also let you adjust the chainline somewhat. You could make a simple U-bracket to hold the "middle" hub and freewheel, and bolt it down to the frame with lateral slots in it, to allow for side-to-side adjustments.
Cheap, effective, and simple.

Well, I demand pictures if you do. :lol:
Seriously, can't wait to see this thing flesh out!
