    Re: major surgery may be necessary dont touch the tube. cut a piece of 1 1/4'' black gas pipe the length you need, remove the lower bearing race, slide the pipe on the tube and p;ut the bearing race on and you are good to go. you still have a good fork. a plumbing shop will cut one for you...

    your bike is a postwar DX with a monark sprocket. 39 had rear dropouts with chain adjusters and didn't have tabs for the chainguard. if you post serial number i will tell you what year it is.

    RAT ROD BIKES BUILD OFF 2 DISCUSSION
