So here is the beginning of the project. I hadn't joined the forum until after I had dismantled the bike. But I figure you guys know what they look like anyway. The bike is a '84 Supercycle (Canadian Tire brand I don't know who makes it).
And here is a mock up of my thoughts on the bars.
I've added extensions to the bars and I'll post pictures soon. Yesterday though when I took the drive gear out I found that the bearings were completely ruined. I have no idea what I will do now because I have no income for new ones. Oh well. I'll figure it out. My plan is to swap out the 26" "skinny" wheels for 24" "wider" wheels so I can actually ride the bike (I'm only 5'7" with short legs). Also I have another road bike that the chrome is coming off the wheels so I'll be using these wheels on that.
I'll keep you posted with progress.
