Model A are about as easy to find as a barn full of old bicycles. The model A was made in the 1920s-30s and at the time was the best around.

Anyone know anything about working with fiber glass....like materials, shaping,etc. I was thinking about making some fiber glass pieces for the bike but realized that's over my head. videos, pictures, anything would help.

Let me know

Its been kinda slow lately but I finally got all the parts I need to finish the bike, First I got my New Departure Model A hub I have been searching for. I'm re-lacing it into my rear wheel today. Next I got a set of cream Schwinn grips. Last I have two sprockets, one is a Spaceliner sprocket and the other is a skip tooth. If I use the Spaceliner sprocket I will have to grind off every other tooth. If I use the skip tooth I will have to spend a day out of my build just trying to get that thing as clean as I want it. By the way if you where wondering I returned my other skip tooth sprocket. It was too shiny for the bike considering everything else is bare metal.

Take your skip tooth sprocket to a metal finishing place (or anywhere else with a media blaster). Five minutes and a couple bucks is well worth it for the time and effort it would take you to do it by hand.

I had nothing else to do today so I just went at it with mineral spirits, a wire brush, and chrome polish...came out much better than I thought...

So here is my problem, I got my ND laced into my rear wheel and i got my chain on but it wouldn't tighten with the drop outs I made. The slots don't go far enough back to get and tension. Also my chain is rubbing against my rear wheel. :?

Re: * THE BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(another problem )

slot the drop outs horizontally and dish the wheel....

tighten one side and loosen the other side of the spokes to actually move the rim to one side or the other.
